Beschreibung des Verlags

Cet article enquete au carrefour des noces, de l'industrie du mariage, de la consommation et de la tele-realite en considerant l'emission de tele-realite Trista and Ryan's Wedding. Cette emission montrait le mariage reel de Trista Rehn et Ryan Sutter, qui s'etaient rencontres lors du tournage de The Bachelorette. L'auteure soutient que l'emphase mise par la tele-realite sur le reel , ses techniques narratives (y compris l'association a des biens de consommation) et le fait que l'industrie du mariage pousse a ce que l'on ait des noces uniques convergent dans cette emission pour mobiliser les visions et les reves que suscite le mariage en blanc traditionnel afin d'attirer les consommateurs vers des biens de consommation specifiques. Elle en conclut que l'etude des noces dans la culture nord-americaine doit prendre en compte non seulement les pratiques et les rituels mis en oeuvre dans ces evenements sociaux et culturels, mais aussi considerer les manieres par lesquelles des formes culturelles populaires comme la tele-realite travaillent a produire des types particuliers d'images. This article investigates the intersection of weddings, the wedding industry, consumption, and reality TV by considering the reality TV series, Trista and Ryan's Wedding. This show featured the real-life wedding of Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, who met on the series The Bachelorette. The author argues that reality TV's emphasis on the "real," its narrative techniques (including product assimilation), and the wedding industry's stress on having a "unique" wedding converge on this show to mobilize consumer fantasies and dreams of the traditional white wedding around specific consumer products. She concludes that examinations of weddings in North American culture must take into account not only the practices and rituals involved in these social and cultural events, but also consider the ways in which popular cultural forms such as reality TV work to produce particular kinds of images.
