Approche sémiopragmatique de pratiques nées de la réception médiatique

Torres Vitolas, Miguel Angel 16 June 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Notre thèse se situe dans le champ de recherche des études de la réception des médias depuis une approche sémio-pragmatique qui vise en particulier le rapport des spectateurs avec le texte dans le cadre des pratiques discursives dans la culture de fans. L'objectif général de cette thèse est de comprendre comment se développent les pratiques discursives réalisées à partir de la réception de textes médiatiques. Le sujet général est la réception des médias, mais nous avons situé notre démarche dans le champ de la culture des fans, où les discussions du texte et les remaniements et réécritures sont des pratiques qui se réalisent couramment. L'intérêt est alors de parler de la réception dans le cadre de la pratique culturelle qui lui donne sens. Le groupe de fans que nous avons abordé pour notre travail est celui formé autour de la série télévisée Twin Peaks. Dans ce travail, nous cherchons à comprendre cette énorme diversité de productions de fans (discussions, créations, manipulation de textes) témoignant certainement de la réception de ces spectateurs, mais dont il faut saisir la stratégie face au faire énonciatif. Nous nous intéressons alors au rapport créé avec le texte. Notre objectif est d'essayer de comprendre la dynamique qui gouverne ces échanges et ces productions autour d'un texte médiatique. Il s'agit de montrer la logique de la réception et de l'appropriation des textes dans la culture des fans, de façon à comprendre comment ceux-ci et leurs communautés agissent en tant que spectateurs stratégiques.

The Playful Audience: Professional Wrestling, Media Fandom, and the Omnipresence of Media Smarks

Toepfer, Shane Matthew 14 December 2011 (has links)
This dissertation posits a new model for understanding media audiences, bringing the scholarship of game studies to the critical analysis of audience practices. The concept of play proves beneficial for understanding the complex processes of media audiences, as they are able to traverse dichotomous categories when engaging media content. The genre of professional wrestling proves a perfect case study for examining these playful audience practices, and this study is an ethnographic account of the practices of wrestling fans. Focusing on the behaviors of fans at live wrestling events, in online contexts, and in the subcultural setting of a card game entitled Champions of the Galaxy, this study demonstrates the necessity of the concept of play for understanding what media audiences do when they engage media content. These practices, however, are always negotiated by the hegemonic power of the rules that structure how audiences are encouraged to engage content, resulting in ideological constraints on the possibilities play offers.
