Abstract
En una sociedad como la actual, con un peso cada vez mayor de lo audiovisual, es un hecho que el cine y la televisión son los medios principales a través de los que la gente aprende historia en nuestro días. Tanto jóvenes como adultos se sirven de estos medios audiovisuales para conocer y entender el pasado, sobre todo a través de productos de ficción. Esto se debe a que el componente de entretenimiento que caracteriza a las películas y a la ficción televisiva históricas facilita la transmisión y hace más apetecible la asimilación de los conocimientos sobre el pasado. Además, el carácter masivo de estos medios de comunicación permite que estos productos lleguen a muchas más personas que los libros, tradicionalmente la vía de difusión de la historia. El problema es que muchos historiadores ven con desconfianza la utilización de fuentes audiovisuales como instrumento para conocer el pasado, especialmente cuando esas fuentes son productos de ficción tales como películas o series de televisión. En este sentido, el presente trabajo pretende ahondar en la cuestión de si es posible conocer una época o episodio del pasado a través de un producto de ficción histórica televisiva, valorando para ello la relación que se establece entre el componente dramático inherente a todo producto de estas características y la recreación de la época que se pretende reflejar. El punto de partida de esta investigación es claro: no es posible juzgar una producción audiovisual siguiendo los mismos criterios que se aplicarían a una obra escrita, porque el lenguaje y los condicionamientos que tienen una película o una serie de televisión son completamente distintos a los de un libro o manual de historia al uso. Se necesita, por tanto, aplicar una metodología distinta que permita valorar si una ficción histórica determinada enseña y explica el pasado. Este trabajo se sitúa en esa línea de investigación, proponiendo una metodología que pueda aplicarse al estudio de cualquier serie de televisión de ficción histórica y aplicándola a un producto concreto: la telenovela histórica Amar en tiempos revueltos (en adelante Amar…). El objetivo es determinar si puede ser o no considerada una narración de intencionalidad histórica y sobre la base de qué recursos...
In our society, where audiovisual media is becoming more and more influential, it is a fact that cinema and television are the principal means by which people learn about history. Both young people and adults use those two audiovisual media to learn and understand the past, mainly through fiction products. This is largely due to the fact that the entertainment component that characterizes films and historical fiction television series facilitates the transmission and enables the easier learning of knowledge about past events. Moreover, the mass reach of those media allows those products to influence more people than books, which traditionally were the mean by which to convey historical knowledge. However, many historians are reluctant to use audiovisual sources as a mean to comprehend the past, in particular when those sources are fiction products such as films and television series. Building on this challenge, the present paper aims to delve into the question as to whether it is possible to understand an era or a historic period through a historical fiction television product, assessing t relationship between the dramatic component inherent to every product of such he characteristics and the recreation of the time it aims to reflect. The starting point is clear: it is not possible to asses an audiovisual production with the same criteria that would apply to a written work, since the language and restrictions of a television series are completely different to a book or a history manual. Therefore, a new methodology is needed, in order to assess whether historical fiction teaches and explains the past. This paper is positioned in this line of research. It proposes a methodology that can be applied to the study of any historical fiction television series and it is applied to a determined product: the historical soap opera Amar en tiempos revueltos (henceforth, Amar…). The goal is to state whether it can or not be consider a narration of historical intentionality and explain the means on which this is based...
