All good people have debts: Framing the Greek crisis in television fiction
University of Gothenburg.ORCID iD: 0000-0002-3872-5096
2018 (English)In: Crisis and the media: Narratives of crisis across cultural settings and media genres / [ed] Marianna Patrona, Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing Company , 2018, p. 107-126Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

Building on the notion of the Greek crisis as a discursive event and revisiting theories about the sociocultural role of television fiction, this chapter introduces the latter as a framing mechanism through which events of the social world are defined and assessed. By uncovering the dominant interpretative frames underlying the story, setting, characters and plot of the popular Greek television comedy Piso Sto Spiti (MEGA channel, 2011–2013), this analysis illustrates television fiction’s contribution to the construction of the root causes of the crisis as tied to the cultural traits of Greeks, the impossibility of change and the futility of an alternative, left-wing consideration of the crisis, as well as an attempt to morally assess the situation at hand.
