The series have not escaped this transformation, giving rise in recent days to a new type of format: the fiction of false reality. From this perspective, it is proposed to approach the main features of what the author Mario Carlón has called metatelevision, considered the most recent period of the medium, and false reality as a byproduct of that stage. Taking as a reference the British series The Office, we will observe the way in which the television discourse is subject to displacements, both in the conventions of the genre, in the relation that the spectator maintains with the television product, and in the problematics between the real and the fictitious thing that the new audiovisual representations provoke in the 21st century. Históricamente, la televisión se ha establecido como un lugar de producción de sentido anclado a determinantes culturales e ideológicas. Uno de los productos consagratorios del medio han sido las series de ficción, mantenidas como una constante en la propuesta televisiva a lo largo del tiempo. Sin embargo, a lo largo de los distintos períodos de su historia, la televisión se ha vuelto cada vez más permeable a mutaciones e hibridaciones de sus propias estructuras discursivas. Las series no han escapado a dicha transformación, lo que da lugar en la actualidad a un nuevo tipo de formato: la ficción del falso reality. Desde esta perspectiva, se propone realizar un acercamiento a las características principales de lo que el autor Mario Carlón ha denominado metatelevisión, considerado el período más reciente del medio, y al falso reality como producto derivado de dicha etapa. Tomando como referencia la serie británica The Office, observaremos la forma en la que el discurso televisivo es sujeto de desplazamientos, tanto en las convenciones del género, en la relación que el espectador mantiene con el producto televisivo, y en las problemáticas entre lo real y lo ficticio que las nuevas representaciones audiovisuales suscitan en el siglo XXI.

Historically, television has established itself as a place of production of meaning anchored to cultural and ideological determinants. One of the consecrating products of the medium has been the series of fiction, maintained as a constant in the television proposal over time.
However, throughout the different periods of its history, television has become increasingly permeable to mutations and hybrids of its own discursive structures. The series have not escaped this transformation, giving rise in recent days to a new type of format: the fiction of false reality.
From this perspective, it is proposed to approach the main features of what the author Mario Carlón has called metatelevision, considered the most recent period of the medium, and false reality as a byproduct of that stage. Taking as a reference the British series The Office, we will observe the way in which the television discourse is subject to displacements, both in the conventions of the genre, in the relation that the spectator maintains with the television product, and in the problematics between the real and the fictitious thing that the new audiovisual representations provoke in the 21st century. |
