  • Descrição: According to Dominique Mehl,6 the products of this 'compassionate television', in the context of defaulting state institutions, had taken the form of a veritable 'enterprise of relational services' which, by trivialising exemplary cases, helped individuals to feel normal. The viewer, detained by this mechanism, occupied an asymmetrical position with regard to the participants, and was quickly relegated to a minor role, becoming little more than an accessory. [...]the absence of spontaneity in the conversations, their predictability, as well as the accepted control of thematised space and kind of knowledge selected, made the audience more demanding and kept them in a position of asymmetry and inequality similar to the experience of academic pedagogical conferences. [...]it is important to note that this televisual expression of compassion (individualising the model of compassion) cannot last without wearing itself out and becoming senseless in the absence of any real act or mission, contrary to other kinds of shows relying on a form of collective catharsis (Téléthon, Sidaction,17 etc.). [...]on another level, this fact indicates the structural impossibility of television to expose cathodic confessions, even in a crude way. [...]on 25 September 2006, a group of television critics and presenters were invited to a 'TV dinner' to comment on the new television season.22 They discussed new programmes, the successes and failures of the schedules and what might happen to them in the 'musical chairs' of this decisive moment in the season. [...]radio can be considered as the putative mother of the talk-show, although unable to lead directly to it since the specific mediativity of radio (the absence of the para- verbal, which is to say, the absence of the visual stratum and its expressive stream of phatic indicators considerably widening the communicational spectrum) prevents collective exchanges (exchanges are unclear because interlocutors are unseen) by limiting radio interactions to dialogue sometimes multiplied and delocalized (for example, call-in radio shows).
