Resumen:
Sumario:This article aims to reflect on the way in which the phenomenon of serialization is defined in contemporary culture and to deepen the study of massive narratives that, in semiotic terms, lack univocal theoretical approaches. Based on Mikhail Bakhtin's transdisciplinary project, a theory framework is put in place to observe the current phenomenon of serial fictions in Latin America with a view that transcends genres and disarticulates form-content dichotomies and closed classifications. The case for analysis is Luis Miguel, the series (2018), a production that challenges the limits of contemporary television series by erasing the frontiers of traditional forms. Analyzing current television products in terms of a "generic uniqueness" allows an understanding of the compositional operations of these narratives, as well as the way in which they engage in increasingly less normative exchanges with other areas of culture.
