D'abord, la notion de «monde» de l'œuvre, souvent employée de manière imprécise, est l'objet d'une défin.ition, reprise de la théorie littéraire des mondes possibles. Selon cette théorie, une fiction ne fait pas référence au monde réel mais à un monde possible, nommé « monde central ». Pour se familiariser avec ce monde, le spectateur doit être en mesure de juger de la vérité d' une proposition le concernant. (En effet, une image et une réplique peuvent ne pas correspondre au monde de l'œuvre, c'est-à-dire qu'elles échouent à le représenter adéquatement.) Ce que le spectateur imagine comme vrai à 1'intérieur du monde central devient alors la définition de la vérité fictionnelle. Celle-ci n'est vraie que relativement au monde qui la modalise. Toutefois, ce mémoire affirme, à la suite de David Lewis, qu 'il est impossible pour le spectateur d'identifier un seul monde représenté. Ce dernier doit postuler 1'existence d'un ensemble de mondes possiblement centraux à une fiction. Un seul de ces mondes est le véritable référent des vérités fictionnelles, bien qu 'il soit impossible de dire lequel. Cette conclusion remet en doute la vérifonctionnalité des propositions fictionnelles. En utilisant l'exemple des un.ivers parallèles présentés dans Stargate, il sera montré qu'une œuvre demande parfois à son spectateur d'imaginer des vérités contradictoires. Or, ces vérités contradictoires contreviennent à la définition de départ du monde fictionnel en tant que monde possible qui rend effectif un état de choses maximal et complet. Pour contourner cet obstacle, les mondes possiblement centraux doivent être considérés conm1e autant de versions justes, imaginées par les spectateurs, du monde fictionnel. Le critère de la cohérence apparaît, dans ces conditions, mieux adapté que celui de la vérité pour informer le jugement sur lajustesse d'une version du monde fictionnel. En définitive, la concordance des versions justes parvient à combler les limites du jugement de vérité dans la formation de ce qui est effectivement le cas selon une œuvre de fiction. Mots clés : Mondes possibles, Stargate, vérité fictionnelle, cohérence, science-fiction INTRODUCTION Diffusée à partir de 1997, Stargate SG-1 est la première série télévisée située dans 1'univers de Stargate. Les évènements de la série font suite à un film paru en 1994 dont MGM racheta les droits. Les cinq premières saisons furent présentées sur Showfime, puis Sei-Fi Channel diffusa les cinq dernières. Stargate Atlantis et Stargate Universe, deux séries situées dans le même univers fictionnel que Stargate SG-1, sont diffusées pour la première fois en 2004 et 2009 respectivement. La première série met en scène l'équipe SG-1 , composée de ses quatre protagonistes, envoyée en mission d'exploration sur des planètes inconnues à travers une porte des étoiles. L'objet fictionnel de la porte des étoiles permet la création d'un trou de ver .dans l'espace-temps par lequel la matière voyage entre deux pôles situés à des années­ lumière de distance. Le point d'arrivée est déterminé par une adresse composée de sept symboles qui représentent ses coordonnées. Il s'agit de la prémisse principale de la série qui crée plusieurs possibilités narratives : The Stargate deviee recalls the effect of the transporter ofStar Trek (1966-1969), but unlike Star Trek's deviee, the Stargate provides nearly instantaneous transmission of people and abjects across vast distances, thus eliminating the needfor a spaceship. This change produces a fondamental difference in the plot structures and even the set design of the series. Because the SG-1 team can commute rapidly to distant planets whi/e maintaining contact with the militmy-political hierarchy and research facilities of Stargate Command, plots thal revolve around the disjunction between politics on Earth and the realities offighting an inters

Wikipedia article list Stargate SG-1 is a Canadian-American military science fiction television series created by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner. The series resumes the story of the 1994 film StarGate, where a military team led by Colonel Jack O'Neill and with the support of archaeologist Daniel Jackson uses an ancient alien artifact called Stargate to go to a planet where an alien named Ra oppressed the people of the planet, posing as God. After Team Earth defeated Ra, O'Neill returns to Earth while Daniel Jackson remains on the planet. The pilot project of the series, which takes place about a year after the events of the film, shows that Ra was not the only foreigner who used the Stargate to transport human slaves to many worlds for thousands of years.

  • The Stargate Films
    Mr. Wydey’s TV Series Episode Guides Stargate SG-1 Seasons 1-10 The Stargate films This collection of notes offers a strictly personal take on the whole of the Stargate SG-1 universe, as seen on television. The reports were gathered over many years as the episodes unfolded on Sky TV as seen by a Virgin Media customer. Until the Great Disaster of 2007. As will be revealed in due course, Sky and Virgin had a falling out and they did not make up for several years. The last couple of episodes of series 10 were not made available to your reviewer until 2011!! Of course, other TV channels have picked up the torch, and although Sky continues to show SG-1 in dribs and drabs, the Pick channel allowed fans to see the whole thing right from the start on weekdays from Monday to Friday, and at the time of this edition’s publication, Pick was showing everything for a second time. As well as living on in digital TV heaven, the world of the Stargate is also available on DVD. And there are two complete fan-fiction novels in the RLC collection currently, and another is in preparation. Clyde E. Wydey, May 2018 F&F BOOKS www.FarragoBooks.co.uk All rights reserved.

    Daily Courier We e k’sWor th THE TV MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2021 Nathan Fillion returns as THE ROOKIE for a fourth season on CBS ‘The Rookie’ returns after cliffhanger drama By Kyla Brewer TV Media Cop shows have been around practically since the dawn of television, and there’s still nothing quite like a good police drama, especially one with a nail-biting cliffhanger season finale. After months of waiting, anxious fans will finally find out what happens when a prime-time hit returns to the airwaves. Nathan Fillion reprises his role as John Nolan, a cop who sets out to find a col- league after she goes missing in the sea- son premiere of “The Rookie,” airing Sun- day on ABC. The debut marks the fourth season of the hour-long drama centered on Nolan, a 40-something cop — and oldest rookie in the history of the LAPD — who works at the Mid-Wilshire Division of the Los Ange- les Police Department. The police drama is the latest in a string of hits for Canadian-American actor Fillion, who rose to fame as Capt. Mal- colm Reynolds in the cult favorite TV series “Firefly” and its subsequent spinoff film, “Serenity” (2005), and as sleuthing mystery writer Richard Castle in the ABC crime drama “Castle.” Born and raised in Edmonton, Fillion moved south to pursue a career in acting, landing roles in TV shows “One Life to Live” and “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” and in the movie “Saving Private Ryan” (1998). Now, he’s leading the cast of one of prime time’s highest-rated network series: “The Rookie.” At the end of last season, pregnant Det.

  • CHAPTER 1 “Never Underestimate Your Audience. They're Generally
    CHAPTER 1 “Never underestimate your audience. They’re generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment”. (Stargate SG-1 ‘200’, 22nd November 2006) This dissertation investigates how fans attempt to negotiate with a particular text and how certain texts display awareness of their audience and their fandom. The interest in fan culture has stemmed from my engagement with cultural theorists through study of Media. Stuart Hall (1973) in particular informs much of this study in that his theories on how audiences view certain cultural texts through three key hypothetical readings; dominant- hegemonic position, negotiated position and the oppositional code’. These three readings are the means by which the audience relate to a text and are especially pertinent in a study which demonstrates how the audience and specifically the fandom chose to receive the text in question. Hall has also added to the debate on what is meant by quality within the communication framework. Hall and Whanell (1964) argue that “…“The struggle for what is good and worthwhile and what is shoddy and debased is not a struggle against the modern forms of communication but a conflict within these media.” (1964: 15). It is apparent from the previous statement that the debate on what constitutes ‘good and worthwhile’ subject matter has changed from judging the entirety of ‘forms of communication’ to attempting to judge within these parameters. Bignell and Lacey echo this particular sentiment in their exploration of just what is meant by ‘quality’ and how it “…is not a matter of contested definition as an academic term but also relates problematically to the notion of ‘good’ television” (2005:11).
