Description
Summary:In recent decades, a large number of audiovisual productions with a memoristic character have flooded Spanish television screens, highlighting the television obsession with the public evocation of the past of the political transition and the memory of some of its main political figures. This phenomenon makes up a vast corpus of television broadcasts whose marked memoristic character and prime-time broadcasting allows the establishment of an authentic television meta-narrative of wide diffusion and social projection in terms of the media construction of the public memory of the transition. Hence, the present article, in addition to mapping the genealogy of this television narrative, intends to delve into the knowledge of the public memory of the transition, as well as to reflect on the historical conditions of production and dissemination of such narratives and to analyze the formats, modes of representation and discursive mechanics.
