Do You Know what It Means to Miss New Orleans? Ficción, polifonía y la ciudad en la serie Treme de HBO
Palabras clave:
socioficción, teoría actor-red, polifonía, realismo, TremeResumen
Los límites trazados entre las ciencias sociales, las artes y la cultura popular pueden ser más borrosos de lo que se suele creer. En realidad, existen obras que evidencian cierto espacio de transgresión y mutua necesidad entre formas de expresión y conocimiento. Treme es una serie de televisión que, gracias a su estilo y estructura narrativa, logra recrear con sumo detalle los complejos flujos y tensiones sociales de la ciudad norteamericana moderna. Retomando la obra de Bakhtin y Latour, el presente artículo se enfoca en el discurso narrativo del primer episodio de la serie, con el fin de ilustrar los mecanismos que le permiten a esta obra de ficción transmitir cierta visualización sociológica del mundo.
