Kurzfassung:
While modern aesthetics lost interest in mass media products, equating them to those of crafts and industry, classical aesthetics, less concerned with innovation, drew no such distinction between art and crafts. Recently, post-modern aesthetics « of seriality » has re-examined the concepts of repetition and iteration by emphasizing the «infinite» aspect of variability and the birth of a « new » public. By considering different forms of repetition in the retake, the remake, the series, the saga and inter-textual dialogue, the article highlights the generalization of procedures formerly limited to experimental art. It also emphasizes the existence of two levels of reading « agreements », with « naïve » addressees and « smart » ones, invited to play on their «encyclopaedic competence». It suggests that serial productions are essentially based on myth and argues for increased reflection on the role of repetition in art and the media.
