“…The use of a reality TV show for academic research raises specific questions regarding whether an artificial environment (e.g., TV) changes behaviors (Hight, 2001). A number of researchers have used the natural experiments of game shows to investigate people's attitude to risk aversion, expected utility theory, endowment, heterogeneity and discrimination.…”

“…Le succès de la téléréalité repose sur plusieurs éléments culturels, sociologiques et psychologiques : l'identification (Miller 2000 : 11 ;Reiss et Wiltz 2004), l'évasion (Lane 2000), l'individualisme (Briscoe 2000), le pouvoir (Biltereyst 2004 : 9), l'élimination (Mehl 1996), des normes rassurantes (Bonnet 2003 : 34), un sentiment d'unité (Beaucher 2004) et le voyeurisme (Dovey 2000 ;Hight 2001 ;Beaucher 2004 ;Eaves et Savoie 2005 : 95). Il y a donc dans la téléréalité une forme de narrativité très proche du téléspectateur.…”

AbstractLa téléréalité a transformé l’univers de la télévision grand public. Dans ce texte, nous postulons que le phénomène de la téléréalité a connu une évolution en trois temps. La première génération de téléréalité emprunte à la fiction et au documentaire. On reconstruit la réalité à l’aide de témoignages, de reconstitutions d’événements et d’entrevues sur les lieux de l’événement. La téléréalité de la deuxième génération s’internationalise. Au lieu de reconstruire la réalité, on l’observe. La téléréalité de la troisième génération est interactive, multiplateformes et multimédias. On génère la réalité grâce à des émissions coupées et montées. En ce sens, la véritable originalité de la téléréalité d’aujourd’hui est à chercher dans sa façon d’utiliser les nouvelles technologies : Internet, vidéo, téléphonie cellulaire, lecteur MP3, radio et télévision.

“…Both have also been the objects of controversy over the past years. Vivid debates have dismissed the new breed of factual programs as "freakshows," "trash," or "tabloid" TV, accusing them of, among other things, voyeurism and sensationalism (see Dovey 2000;Hight 2001). Despite undeniable ethical implications, there seems to be no way back, as "real" private life has quickly become a legitimate subject for television.…”

This article investigates the ongoing importance of national culture as a context to understand variations in television formats. To this end, it uses the example of the docusoap, a recent addition to the broad category of “reality TV” that crosses the border between fact and fiction and, in particular, between documentary and soap opera. The docusoap conventions have quickly spread internationally, but national variations can be distinguished. To illustrate this point, two “celebrity” docusoaps are analyzed, the American The Osbournes and its Flemish counterpart The Pfaffs. While both shows are superficially similar, they also show many differences, which are partly related to their respective national contexts. Although eccentric, The Osbournes is typically American in several respects, referring to American myths and themes. The Pfaffs, in contrast, are presented as typically Flemish, most clearly through the emphasis on their simplicity and ordinariness. The ensuing differences in tone make the program more authentic to domestic viewers.
