Abstract
El drama policial, uno de los géneros más ha proliferado en medios como la literatura, el cine o la radio, toma su deriva popular contemporánea en el subgénero procedimental, un formato televisivo que se despliega a lo largo de decenas de producciones anuales realizadas para canales en abierto y plataformas de streaming, ofreciendo a través de sus distintas iteraciones de éxito un conjunto de elementos estructurales, rasgos narrativos y figuras recurrentes que revelan, en última instancia, una fórmula narrativa que atraviesa todas estas ficciones y que resulta, por tanto, identificable. El objetivo del presente trabajo de investigación consiste precisamente en abstraer las características fundamentales del drama procedimental policíaco tomando como base un modelo de análisis propio inspirado en trabajos precedentes sobre morfología narrativa, especialmente el trabajo del formalista ruso Vladimir Propp y la aplicación de su metodología al ámbito televisivo realizada por el académico Chandler Harriss. Un total de once ficciones enmarcadas dentro del subgénero que recorren la década del 2000 (CSI, Castle, Bones, El Mentalista, etc.) y que a lo largo del estudio se descomponen a partir de trece variables con el propósito de identificar, categorizar y jerarquizar sus aspectos singulares. En un sentido amplio, se analizan los hitos argumentales que conforman su esqueleto elemental, las figuras universales que vehiculan las historias y la incidencia de estas en el devenir de la investigación policial. De forma más específica se identifican elementos propios del diseño audiovisual, como las distintas tipologías de localizaciones, actos, tramas o flashbacks, y otras de naturaleza policial tales como pistas recabadas, hipótesis formuladas o aquellas preguntas voluntariamente generadas por la historia que conducen inconscientemente el interés del espectador a lo largo de la trama...
Police drama, one of the most proliferated genres in media such as literature, cinema or radio, takes its contemporary popular tendency in the procedural subgenre, a television format that unfolds along dozens of annual productions made for free-to-air channels and streaming platforms. Through its different successful iterations a set of structural elements, narrative features, and recurring figures emerge that reveal, ultimately, a narrative formula that permeates all these fictions and is, therefore, identifiable.The aim of the present research work is to abstract the fundamental characteristics of the procedural police drama, based on a model of analysis inspired by previous works on narrative morphology, especially the work of Russian formalist Vladimir Propp and the application of his methodology to the field of television by the academic Chandler Harriss. A total of eleven fictions, framed within the subgenre and which run throughout the 2000s (CSI, Castle, Bones, The Mentalist, etc.), are broken down throughout the study employing thirteen variables to identify, categorize and rank their unique aspects. In a broad sense, we analyze the plot milestones that make up these fictions’ elementary skeleton, the universal figures that convey the stories, and the incidence of these in the evolution of the police process. More specifically, elements of audiovisual design are identified, such as the different typologies of locations, acts, plots or flashbacks, as well as police-specific elements such as collected clues, formulated hypotheses or those questions voluntarily generated by the story that unconsciously guide the viewer's interest throughout the plot...
