Series de televisión como una herramienta para la investigación social. Análisis temático, epistemológico y metodológico
Television series as a tool for social research. Thematic, epistemological and methodological analysis
Resumen (es)
Este artículo parte de la hipótesis de que la investigación social que utiliza como herramienta las series de televisión se realiza sin un componente epistemológico robusto, sin variedad metodológica y sin amplitud temática. Para comprobar esta hipótesis, se analizan 36 artículos científicos que utilizan como herramienta de investigación social las siguientes series: Breaking Bad, The X Files (Expediente X), Game of Thrones (Juego de Tronos), I Love Lucy, Los Soprano, Mad Men, Orange is The New Black, Sex and the City (Sexo en Nueva York), Star Trek y The West Wing (El Ala Oeste de la Casa Blanca). Finalmente, tras trabajar con una base de 648 registros, se llega a la conclusión de que los artículos analizados sí cuentan con referentes epistemológicos claros, una amplia gama metodológica y abordan gran variedad de temas.
Resumen (en)
This article is based on the hypothesis that social research using television series as a tool is made without a robust epistemological component, without methodological variety and without thematic breadth. To verify this hypothesis, 36 scientific articles are analyzed that use the following series as a social research tool: Breaking Bad, The X Files, Game of Thrones, I Love Lucy, The Sopranos, Mad Men, Orange is The New Black, Sex and the City, Star Trek and The West Wing. Finally, after working with a base of 648 records, it is concluded that the articles analyzed do have clear epistemological references, a wide methodological range and address a wide variety of topics.
