LOZANO, MANUEL. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO MISS NEW ORLEANS? CITY, FICTION AND POLYPHONY IN TREME, HBO TELEVISION SERIES. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2013, vol.49, n.2, pp.63-89. ISSN 0486-6525.

Abstract The dividing lines between social sciences, arts and popular culture are not as clear as it is commonly believed. Actually, some theoretical approaches reveal a constant overlapping of transgressions and influences between these fields of knowledge. Treme is a television production that recreates in great detail the complex social flows and tensions of the modern American city through its particular style and narrative structure. Drawing on Bakhtin and Latour's work, this article focuses on the first episode of the series and its narrative, in order to illustrate the mechanisms that allow this work of fiction to provide a certain sociological view of the world.

Keywords : socio-fiction; actor-network theory; poliphony; realism; Treme.
