- Title
Tensiones televisivas: el falso documental como herramienta ideológica.
- Authors
Donstrup, Mayte
- Abstract
This paper examines the potential of the fake documentary or mockumentary as a persuasive tool. Framed in the theory of cultural imperialism, this article analyzes Inside the war room (BBC, 2016), a tv-program that generated a multitude of polarized reactions among political and journalistic actors. The instrument used has been the Critical Discourse Analysis, which has allowed to relate text and context. The main conclusion of the study is that the false-documentary is a genre articulated around particular narrative, expressive and argumentative forms that stress the reality-fiction relationship in order to provoke a sense of insecurity in the viewer.
