In-Depth Information
allow us, on the one hand, to carry out an analysis of the discourse production from
a domain of knowledge dealt with in an audiovisual text and, on the other hand, to
explicitize the analyst's perspective as regards the domain of knowledge and/or the
discourse production in the text being analyzed.
In Chapter 16, we shall give a more detailed discussion on the constitution and
organization of a
library of
functionally specialized
sequences*
. Here, let us merely
raise the following two points:
- every
modelofdescription*
(of audiovisual content) is made up of one or more
sequences*
;
- every sequence belongs to a category of sequences, functionally specialized in
performing a specific analysis of the audiovisual content.
3.4.Fieldofdescriptionandsequentialorganizationofananalyticalform
Looking at Figures 3.2-3.6, it emerges that the form in question is structured into
four main fields of analysis:
1) The sequence
Description of a civilization and its culture
(Figure 3.2)
corresponds to the
principalandnecessaryfield
of identification and explicitation of
the domain or object of reference. In general, this sequence is part of a
specific type
of sequences
reserved for the analytical task entitled
Description of the knowledge
object being thematized
. Thus, Figure 3.2 shows the sequence which has the
specialized functionality in referential analysis and which, thematically, relates to
two types of objects specific to the domain of reference in question. These are the
type of objects designated by the conceptual term [Civilization] and the type of
objects designated by the conceptual term [Cultural construct].
2) The sequences
Geographic location in the Americas
(Figure 3.3),
Precise
location in a country in the Americas
(Figure 3.4) and
Dating by century
(Figure 3.5) correspond to the field of the
spatial
(geographic) and
temporal
(historic)
location
of the domain or object of reference in question. They form part
of a specific type of sequences given over to the task of
Contextualization of the
knowledgeobjectbeingthematized
(task 1.2 in Figure 4.4; see section 4.5).
3) The sequence
Analysis of the discourse held on the civilization
(Figure 3.6)
corresponds to the field reserved for the description of certain
enunciative aspects
and the
discourse production
from the domain dealt with (focus of interest,
viewpoint from which object is examined, etc.). This forms part of the type of
specific sequences reserved for task 2 (in Figure 4.4; see section 4.5),
Analysis of
