Abstract

This paper analyzes the crises raised and resolved by the character of Olivia Pope and her workers in the 29 chapters of the first two seasons of the TV series Scandal. Each one is inspired by real crisis and is a brilliant exposition of how to communicate and inform. In addition, the TV series focuses on different types of crisis: personal, institutional, corporate, political, military, health. Far from being a television fiction, can be erected as a vehicle for learning and teaching to communicate. To prove it, we will present crises and how they are resolved, alluding to theories of the history of communication.

Summary

Introducción

Scandal es una serie de televisión de origen norteamericano, emitida por ABC (American Broadcasting Company) desde el 5 de abril de 2012. Cada entrega dura 43 minutos y contiene una trama auto-conclusiva: la protagonista, Olivia Pope, y su equipo deben arreglar una crisis de comunicación de algún cliente. Sólo nos centraremos en las tramas auto-conclusivas por su importancia para la didáctica de comunicación e información. Los artífices son un equipo variado de guionistas y directores; personas de gran confianza para Rhimes porque han trabajado con ella en sus series precedentes o en otras de similar éxito. Scandal cuenta con partituras propias, creadas por Chad Fischer, y temas de artistas ajenos a la serie. Para conocer la figura de Patsavas y descubrir una relación muy interesante entre las series de televisión y la música, recomendamos la lectura de Padilla y Requeijo (2011). La producen ShondaLand, productora de Shonda Rhimes, y ABC Studios
