Blurring the borders between the factual and the fictive: the mockumentality of There are no smålänningar.
2018 (English)Conference paper, Oral presentation only (Refereed)
Abstract [en]
This paper discusses, what I refer to as, the mockumentality that the event of spectating the Swedish televises series Det finns inga smålänningar (SVT 1981) made possible. Mockumentality is a concept that speaks of the reconfiguration of the mental ecology of the subject-as-spectator following a challenge to the inegrity of the existential territory that Foucault called the regime of truth (1977). This paper present an early analysis of the reception of the series at the time of its release by investigating the live debate that followed the airing of the series.
