Du feuilleton populaire à la télévision cérémonielle. Quand Plus belle la vie rend hommage aux victimes des attentats

Abstract

On the 13 th of January 2015, the French daily soap opera Plus belle la vie inserts at the beginning of its episode an additional scene about Charlie Hebdo ’s terrorist attack. Then, the show repeats this initiative after Paris and Brussels’ attacks on a most reactive way. On one hand, this article interrogates the evolution of the scenes and on the other hand, it enlights the particular potentials of a fiction in these circumstances.
