1	La représentation de la mort dans Six feet under : analyse herméneutique du traitement de la thématique centrale de la finitude dans une télésérie américaine contemporaine Boisvert, Stéfany 01 1900 (has links) (PDF) Les fictions contemporaines, plus particulièrement les téléséries américaines, semblent actuellement accorder une place prépondérante à la thématique de la mort au sein de leur récit. Il semble ainsi possible de discerner une véritable tendance aux thanatofictions dans le paysage médiatique américain d'aujourd'hui. Considérant la place importante que revêt la thématique de la finitude dans toute culture ainsi que le rôle que les médias contemporains peuvent avoir concernant la formation du rapport social à la mort, nous avons décidé d'interroger la représentation de la mort qui est proposée dans une télésérie américaine contemporaine. Pour ce faire, nous avons choisi d'analyser la télésérie américaine Six Feet Under, présentée sur les ondes de la chaîne câblée HBO de 2001 à 2005. À travers cette analyse de Six Feet Under, nous avions pour objectif de chercher à mieux comprendre quelles significations une télésérie américaine d'aujourd'hui véhicule au sujet de la mort. Plus encore, nous cherchions à comprendre comment Six Feet Under représente le rapport de la culture américaine actuelle à la mortalité. La télésérie Six Feet Under fut analysée grâce à une méthode herméneutique, ce qui nous a permis d'étudier le récit, les récurrences narratives ainsi que les représentations de la mort véhiculées à travers les discours visuels et verbaux de cette fiction. À l'issue de notre analyse, nous avons pu conclure que la télésérie Six Feet Under propose une représentation de la mort en tant que phénomène universel, ontologique et essentiel. Cette représentation s'accompagne également d'une critique de l'attitude dénégatoire des Américains d'aujourd'hui concernant la mort. Plus globalement, notre interprétation révèle que Six Feet Under propose une représentation alternative et plus positive de la mort, laquelle pourrait avoir une pertinence sociale particulière dans notre paysage télévisuel actuel. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Mort, Représentation, Télésérie, Fiction, Herméneutique Mort Thème Série télévisée Culture américaine Aspect social

4	Abject and Liminal Bodies : The Dead Body in <em>CSI: Miami</em> and <em>Six Feet Under</em> Stenström, Kristina January 2010 (has links) <p>This study researches fictional representations of dead bodies in two television series in which representations of dead bodies are prominent features. The study introduces a brief history of the human body as a societal metaphor. The narrower theme of the study, the dead body as a cultural surface and carrier of meaning and ritual potential, is discussed through specific popular cultural television productions.</p><p>The two television series discussed in this study, <em>CSI: Miami </em>and <em>Six Feet Under</em>, are researched both through film analyses and focus group discussions. The film analyses have aimed<em> </em>to show to what use dead bodies are put in the narratives of the programs. The focus group discussions have sought to shed light on the audiences understanding of the meaning of the dead body, and also how this feature of the programs influence the audience and their experience of the programs.</p><p>The study shows that both series introduce and underline dead bodies as floating in-between subject and object status. A dead person is often introduced as a subject and then stripped of his or her cultural identity and reintroduced as an object or as having an uncertain cultural status which lies somewhere between object and subject. This borderline status of the body serves as a threat in the series, and the subject status of the body is reinstated in every case possible. Order is a central concept for the study and both series strive to reassert and maintain order, either in relationships or on a societal level. The reinstatement of order is reflected on the physical body as a metaphor and narrative device in both series. The reestablishment of the subject status of a dead body is part of this strive for order. The audience research concludes that all focus group members agree that the representations of dead bodies in the programs are important for their experience of the programs. Some find them unpleasant while others think they are interesting. The audience also listed several other themes of the programs which they found important. The representations of dead bodies strike the audience members both as “real” and material, and as metaphors.</p> body corporality abject object subject Kristeva death dead CSI Six Feet Under film television narrative semiotics focus group metaphor kropp kroppslighet abjekt subjekt objekt Kristeva död CSI Six Feet Under television film semiotik narrativ metafor fokusgrupp Media and communication studies Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap
