Abstract
El documental en Televisión Española. Los orígenes (1956-1975) 1 es el resultado de un estudio exploratorio y descriptivo del género documental emitido por Televisión Española. Se abarca el periodo que comprende desde las primeras retransmisiones en 1956 hasta 1975, con el advenimiento de la democracia.De esta forma, se examinan los contenidos del género documental emitidos por la televisión nacional en sus dos cadenas, durante el franquismo.Se parte de dos objetivos generales: entender qué significó este género de no ficción dentro de la programación de TVE y qué lugar ocupó en las parrillas televisivas y en la Historia de la Televisión en España; y definir el documental de producción propia a través de sus temáticas y profesionales para comprender si constituía un género televisivo diferente, con características que lo diferenciaran de los contenidos extranjeros, o por el contrario era una simple traslación de estos a la televisión española.Las primeras conclusiones ya apuntan hacia una lógica de documentales de primer y segundo grado que se reparten por la parrilla en la búsqueda de un público concreto con una determinada temática o, simplemente, la intención de rellenar espacios con documentales sin importar procedencia o temáticas. Por otro lado, dentro de la producción propia se han encontrado unos códigos de trabajo y una preferencia por ciertas materias que responde a la dependencia directa de la cadena pública respecto al Ministerio de Información y Turismo, a través de proyectos que fueron el trabajo de equipos de profesionales. Y, por otro lado, el trabajo de personas que realizaban proyectos de menor envergadura, pero, en muchos casos, con una impronta personal y especializada.
Documentary in Spanish Television. The Origins (1956-1975)2 is the result of an exploratory and descriptive investigation on the documentary genre as broadcast by Televisión Española, the Spanish national television network. This study comprises the period between its first broadcasts in 1956 up until 1975, coinciding with the advent of democracy. In this way, the contents belonging to the documentary genre examined in the current analysis are those aired by the national television through its two channels during Franco’s regime.The aforementioned investigation starts by establishing two general objectives: understanding the significance of this non-fiction genre within TVE’s programming and the position it occupied both in the television schedules and in the history of the medium as a whole in Spain; and defining the own production documentary through its themes and the professionals involved in its creation in order to comprehend whether it constituted a distinct television genre, with characteristics that differentiated it from foreign content or, on the contrary, it wasj ust a translation of these foreign productions into the Spanish national television.The first conclusions already suggest an existing logic, articulated by documentaries of first and second degree that spread across the schedule aiming at a specific audience through a concrete subject matter or, on the contrary, that are placed with the intention of filling blanks with documentaries regardless of their themes or provenance. On the other hand, regarding the national production of documentaries, certain working codes and a notable preference towards certain topics have been found, which respond to the direct dependence of the public channel towards the Spanish Ministry of Information and Tourism, through the projects consisting on the work professionals’ crews. And the job of employee that carried forth smaller-sized projects which were, in most cases, more personal and specialized.
