| Résumé: | Katrien Pype's book deals with the production of Pentecostal television fiction in contemporary Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo). It documents the makobe or what Pype calls the “Pentecostal melodrama” as a cultural product, that is a “teleserials that follow the same plotline, feature the same fictional characters” and transmit the same Christian message. This book is part of the growing field of the anthropology of media in post-colonial societies, which has been opened by Abu-Lughod's ethnography on Egyptian melodrama, among others. |
