Partitions chromatiques et convergence des discours médiatiques

l’altérité imaginaire des figures tsiganes à la télévision roumaine

Abstract

Between 2007 and 2013, the three principal media conglomerates in Romania produced entertainment shows and TV serials in which gypsy characters were represented. In echo with some media discourses or with the reappropriation of visual forms produced outside the cultural industries, the identity eye of Romanian mainstream television produced several visual regimes of alterity. Despite their ceaseless metamorphosis, from the « accountability » to the grotesque, they indicate the relation of power between these media and the characters which are marginalised.
