Historical Routes Towards Religious Television Fiction in Post-Mobutu Kinshasa

Katrien Pype

Studies in World Christianity, volume 15, issue 2 (2009), pp. 131-148

"In this article I primarily focus upon locally produced television serials (also called maboke, théâtre populaire, or télédramatiques), which constitute one important genre that help to spread what some describe as the Pentecostalist ideology. The main theme of Kinshasa’s post-millennial tele ... dramas is the spiritual battle (Li. litumba ya molimo). They show how the Devil and his accomplices (demons and witches) operate in the material world and thus combat the Christian God. Witches, fools and pastors are the main protagonists of the teleserials. The programmes often conclude with confessions and deliverances. Such rituals are connected with understandings of evil and culturally accepted means of restoration and purification. The moral progression of the serials’ protagonists reflects a didactic purpose, showing the audience how to become a good Christian and how to hold strong in the spiritual battle (Pype 2008). Special effects are deliberately deployed to make manifest the hidden workings of occult practitioners and the miraculous effects of prayers, deliverance rituals and Christian expertise. With regard to the serials’ format, the insertion of Christian songs at the beginning and ending of the episodes, the dropping of Biblical verses into scenes and display of Bible verses in the corners of the screen during the broadcasts indicate the Christian character of Kinshasa’s teleserials. All these characteristics relate both to the instructive goal of the serials and to the intentions of the dramatic artists to create a mood among the audience to watch the programs as divine lessons. As most of Kinshasa’s evangelising artists state, they aim at bringing a spiritual awareness to the audience. They also hope to transmit spiritual knowledge via the interplay of the fictitious narrative, the power of the Word (activated through the multiple Bible verses that are pronounced) and the image (special effects such as visualisations of the occult). The main questions addressed here are how, why and when Kinshasa’s television serials have acquired this Pentecostalist character. I approach Kinshasa’s teleserials not at all as quasi-timeless symbolic documents but as cultural products that carry a history embedded in the significant political and cultural processes Kinois have witnessed."
