Anne Besson, « Quelle(s) légitimation(s) pour les littératures de genre et de grande diffusion ? », Nouveaux cahiers de Marge, ID : 10.35562/marge.881
The aim of this article is to provide a concise overview on the field of research about popular literature and media cultures, from the perspective of their legitimacy, at the beginning of the 2020s. The broader context of the changes in perceptions that have affected them over the course of their history appears as reflected in specialized studies – dynamics of distinction and practices of legitimization, fragmented, competing, far from any singular, objectified “legitimacy”.The main trends that can be spotted, in a situation of quantitative explosion of content supply, consist in a double movement of de-hierarchization, or rather of increased mobility of cultural hierarchies, coupled with internal resegmentation effects, which will be the subject of the first two parts of the article. The last part proposes some exploratory avenues concerning the new value criteria justifying the slow and partial evolution of these scales of legitimacy.
