Sociosemiotics of the popular audiovisual culture. The case of amateur web-series

The article proposes a theoretical and methodological look at research in the field of popular culture. Focusing on a specific case study of amateur web-series, the paper attempts to draw a generalizable working model while integrating the specificities of certain contemporary objects, such as the digital context, participation, amateurism, as well as the related traces of enunciation allowing to reconstruct the productions of meaning at work in contact with these objects.
