Abstract

First Debates on a Quality Romanian Television: From Implicit to Explicit Ideology

Matching the dominant cultural discourse of a given society at a given moment with one particular discourse – in our case that of the Romanian Television – is able to put into light the assessment of the “quality”, as in the syntagm “quality TV”. This paper shows how, in the wake of the “remobilization” era, at the beginning of the 70s, debates on the form and the content of TV programmes conceived as part of a public service intermingled and finally succumbed under the weight of ideological pressure. Between 1069 and 1979, television development cannot be the mission of only professionals, because it grows more and more a political issue. Broadly speaking, in no more than two years, what seemed to be a professional issue with its own rules becomes increasingly the expression of the political endeavor to lay hands on all public fields.
Keywords: romanian television, socialist television, quality television, socialist regime, cultural studies, visual studies

Note bibliografice

1. Le syntagme roumain est un calque français : « e o problemă care stă la inima oamenilor. »
2. Diminutif de Ecaterina (Ecaterina Oproiu) : il est inséré dans le texte publié de ce débat.
3. Les données quantitatives sont tirées des études de l’Office d’études et de sondages de la Radiotélévision, Archives de la Radiodiffusion Roumaine.
4. Le titre reprend un vers célèbre d’un poème du XIXe siècle consacré à la langue roumaine, « moult douce et belle ».
5. Ces pressions existent, mais la charge en est à l’Etat, les professionnels s’abstiennent d’en faire mention. C’est le prix requis par le régime socialiste: dans le domaine de l’art, les facteurs économiques ne se discutent pas effectivement: on n’y peut rien pour, rien contre.
6. Sauf mention contraire, les citations sont reprises à Cu privire la Radioteleviziunea română, Oficiul de Presă şi Tipărituri al Radioteleviziunii, 1972.
7. „Ancheta poate fi formată dintr-un interviu şi
interviul poate reprezenta o întreagă anchetă, (Deşi mă ocup de acest gen, detest titlul pentru faptul că ancheta publicistică nu are nimic în comun cu cea juridică. Ea este un foraj sufletesc în care foloseşti diamante de cea mai bună calitate)”. Alexandru Stark, Aventuri pe diagonală, Albatros, 1982, p.93. Je souligne.
8. „Şi haideţi să nu împărţim cu atîta siguranţă clipele vieţii noastre în majore şi minore. Major şi minor faţă de ce?” Ibidem, p.105.
