Séries américaines de network
This open issue is a continuation of a series of scientific events that had been organized since 2016 (a seminar from 2016 to 2018 and symposiums in 2018, 2019 and 2020), all of which were intended to develop research on US Network television series. The aim is to highlight works that have often been overlooked by scholarly research or only discussed in terms of their methodological approaches, and to contribute to a re-historicization of the study of television series by not only focusing on contemporary shows but also rethinking how network programming has evolved since the 1950s. In addition to the historical importance of networks in the development of television series and their impact in both economic and sociological terms, this topic invites us to reflect on the aesthetic, narrative, media-based, ideological, political and cultural aspects of these series.
