  • Mexican Melodrama in the Age of Netflix: Algorithms for Cultural
    Mexican Melodrama in the Age of Netflix: Algorithms for Cultural Proximity Melodrama mexicano en la era de Netflix: ELIA MARGARITA algoritmos para la proximidad cultural CORNELIO-MARÍ1 DOI: https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2020.7481 http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5495-1870 By using algorithms to track the data of their users in Mexico, Netflix has managed to solve the equation of cultural proximity. Since 2015 it has produced original series that include melodramatic traits, even if they align with genres like comedy, biopic and political thriller. Applying industrial and textual analysis, this article argues that Netflix has established a love-hate relationship with Mexican melodrama, making fun of its conventions but using them nevertheless. It concludes that algorithms have the potential to transform Internet TV providers into competitors for local producers. KEYWORDS: Netflix, InternetTV , algorithms, melodrama, cultural proximity, telenovela. Netflix ha resuelto la ecuación de la proximidad cultural en México utilizando algoritmos para monitorear los datos de sus usuarios. Desde 2015 ha producido series originales que muestran rasgos melodramáticos a pesar de pertenecer a géneros como la comedia, la biografía o la acción de trasfondo político. Con base en un análisis textual y de la in- dustria, este artículo sostiene que Netflix ha establecido una relación de amor-odio con el melodrama mexicano, burlándose de sus convenciones pero usándolas al mismo tiempo. Se concluye que el uso de algoritmos tiene el potencial de transformar a los proveedores de televisión por Internet en competidores de los productores locales. PALABRAS CLAVE: Netflix, televisión por Internet, algoritmos, melodrama, proximidad cultural, telenovela.
