Abstract
No medium outside of TV is quite so beset with scholarly analysis based solely on its lowest achievements. Ever read a Leavisite purge of Zane Grey? No. So just what is it on TV that so attracts the tracts? … In the Career Person Eighties, bookshelves on the Left creak under countless analyses of Dallas, Crossroads, etc. NEW IMPROVED SEMIOLOGICAL ARIELS! ‘D’ for difference As soon as the word ‘genre’ is sounded, as soon as it is heard, as soon as one attempts to conceive it, a limit is drawn…. And this can be said of genre in all genres, be it a question of a generic or a general determination of what one calls ‘nature’ or physis (for example, a biological genre in the sense of gender, or the human genre, a genre of all that is in general), or be it a question of a typology designated as non-natural and depending on laws or orders which were once held to be opposed to physis according to those values associated with techne, thesis, nomos (for example, an artistic, poetic, or literary genre).
