La « cinématisation » des séries télévisées contemporaines : le cas inédit du parcours de la série française Kaamelott (Alexandre Astier, M6, 2005-2009)
Contemporary television is undergoing profound changes within a media landscape in which the boundaries between television and cinema are gradually disappearing. This research offers a study of these changes through the concept of “cinematization”. It will be first of all a question of analyzing the discourses on this complex notion. More than a merging of small and big screen, cinematization refers to a process whose effects remain visible in the creation, criticism, analysis and act of spectatorship of the television series. It will further be necessary to study the authorial and spectatorial figure of television. Finally, the unique process of the French series Kaamelott (Alexandre Astier, M6, 2005-2009) will serve as an example for illustrating the transformations that this audiovisual form undergoes at the level of narrative structure, aesthetics and viewing habits.
