Жанровая специфика литературно-драматического аудиоконтента

Abstract

This article sets out to systemize and modernize the study of theoretical knowledge in regards to the analysis of Russian literary and drama shows. The author is examining the conceptual basis picked out of a segment of broadcasting. The conceptual basis is formed from a number of proposed theories dating from the origin of radio broadcasting to contemporary time, while taking in consideration the reality of a modern media market. The foundation of the study is an analysis of 49 literary and drama cycles broadcasted on “Detskoe radio” (“Children’s radio”), as it relates to their genre orientation. This radio station is the only broadcaster in Russia that’s sole content is literary and drama shows. Despite the regularity of such shows not only on the air, but also on the Internet, questions regarding the genre stratification remain open. The author concludes that most prominent researches in the field only rarely touch on concepts that have become in wide use during the development of literary and drama broadcasting, such as “radio drama”. The author thus, sets out to show a more finite and explicit, genre system of literary theatrical shows, at least as it relates to previous attempts.
