Conceptual disagreements in the literature on cinematelevision- history relationship

Abstract

Historical representations in film and tel-evision have gained greater prominence in the last two decades, which has led to the development of a large number of studies on these audiovisual pieces. This paper compares two literary corpus -research on history in fiction films and studies on history in television fiction series- in order to understand their theoretical and analytical approaches, and recognize, if possible, similarities and theoretical convergences to comprehend the role of historical audiovisual fictions in contemporary societies.
