Procura-se compreender as interfaces geradas entre as instâncias,a priori ontologicamente separadas, ficção e realidade, que se revelam por meio das interseções entre dramaturgia e jornalismo, na elaboração do produto midiático de expressiva relevância na dinâmica da vida nacional. A prática da teledramaturgia contemporânea de beber nas fontes jornalísticas para a elaboração de seu formato mais prestigiado – a telenovela – é acompanhada também do fenômeno em vetor contrário: o produto ficcional inspira as pautas jornalísticas, evidenciando aí a existência de um processo de retroalimentação contínuo. A migração de pautas temáticas se dá nos dois sentidos, revelando influência mútua. A teoria das mediações, formulada por Jesús Martín-Barbero, é o alicerce deste trabalho, que adota a categoria fato-notícia, como uma mediação no processo comunicacional complexo, que envolve produção, produto e recepção da telenovela, como instâncias em interação. O uso do noticiário – entendido como fonte de mediação,a partir do que sugere Orozco Gómes – ocorre por meio da absorção de acontecimentos verídicos publicizados, para o interior da narrativa ficcional dos telefolhetins, cada vez em espaços temporais mais curtos, indicando movimento de aproximação em direção da dinâmica própria de elaboração da notícia jornalística, que persegue o “tempo real”,desde a entronização das tecnologias de comunicação eletrônico-digitais.Tendo em vista que o merchandisingsocial,ferramenta socioeducativa enxertada nas tramas da telenovela, é um dos pontos da interseção entre realidade e ficção, procede-se a uma análise com base neste enfoque da dialógica entre jornalismo e teledramaturgia. Designado genericamente por edutainment (produto híbrido de educação e entretenimento), o merchandising social, além de sua característica de instrumento publicitário, sugerida até mesmo pelo próprio nome, também avança no sentido de absorver as funções sociais do jornalismo, de informar, esclarecer, difundir, levantar questões e promover o debate e a confrontação de opiniões. A aderência quase obrigatória deste recurso de elevado poder de persuasão às narrativas das telenovelas, a partir da década de 1990, indica o surgimento de um subgênero teledramatúrgico. A construção estética da telenovela atualiza a codificação de origem do melodrama, com alterações mais de acordo com a doxa contemporânea, relativizando os pólos tradicionais do bem e do mal, embora sua arquitetura de base se configure nos termos esquemáticos de raiz, de onde se aproximam ou se distanciam oportunamente, ao sabor de adequações que preservem o seu poder de empatia com as megaudiências. A atualização da estética bicentenária ao formato do telemelodrama contemporâneo se processa pela intimidade que a abordagem ficcional estabelece com o jornalismo. Assim, pode-se afirmar que, também, é mediada pelo fato-notícia, que parece estender seus tentáculos aos domínios da ficção num movimento de sobrevida da notícia fugaz, efêmera e com prazo de validade a se extinguir no momento seguinte. / Salvador

This essay is first and foremost an exploration of the melodramatic themes in John Fowles The French Lieutenant’s woman. By defining melodramatic plot events and analyzing the novels postmodern narrative as a melodramatic element in its own right, this study’s purpose is to explain what makes the reader react in a specific way – Or more specifically: feel alienated by the books narrator.                       Throughout the study, I’ve analyzed specific melodramatic examples in The French Lieutenant’s Woman; Its multiple endings, the meta-fictional narrator and its characters and connected them to the melodramatic genre and sensibility in an attempt to define the reader’s emotions towards a seemingly unconventional narrative.

This project details the ways in which the classic slasher films of the 1970s, and their post-9/11 remakes, are representative of the individual and complex world views out of which each set of films were borne. The remakes manipulate gender roles including those of the Final Girl and the mother; genre conventions, including increases in domestic melodrama and pathos; production models, including the use of star actors, directors, and producers; sexuality and presentation of the sexualized female body; and race, especially in fine differences between white and non-white characters. In doing so, the post-9/11 films reveal a conservative cultural climate that strives to show recovery of the nuclear family unit after trauma, unlike the originals which are more nihilistic in tone and portray families as either absent or deeply flawed and unrecoverable.

In the “Introduction,” I discuss how the works presented in this “creative” thesis draw upon traditions of both experimental fiction and realism. The novella makes up Volume I of a longer work. The episodes in the life of the protagonist are depicted in chronological order, but not as chapters in a seamless narrative. In constructing the novella in this way, I attempted to convey how an individual might, for reasons peculiar to himself, choose to view certain moments of his life as turning points. But I do not rely upon the first-person point of view. By using a third-person limited, a third-person omniscient and “second-person” narrative voice in several of the chapters, I hoped, in part, to give to the representation of the “the life of Donovan Jewell” the quality of the “case study.” Each of the “two stories” following the novella is meant to stand alone. Written in the present tense, they both offer intimations of a coming family crisis—or perhaps of a crisis that will be forever postponed.

El objeto de este estudio ha sido examinar el papel de la mujer y más concretamente los personajes femeninos en las obras cinematográficas Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios, (1988) y Todo sobre mi madre, (1999) del cineasta Pedro Almodóvar. Además de profundizar en el tema de la mujer, hemos estudiado la evolución de los papeles femeninos entre ambas obras y el fenómeno social llamado la Movida y su influencia en las películas elegidas. La conclusión de nuestro estudio, señala que los personajes femeninos, a pesar de mostrarse en el papel de víctima, son fuertes y tienen fuerza para cambiar su destino. Sobre todo en cuanto a las protagonistas se refiere. La Movida tiene un rol importante especialmente en Todo sobre mi madre.

The Octoroon, by Dion Boucicault, is a play that Boucicault himself argued is “an effective intervention in the slavery debate, one designed to reveal the real cruelties of the slavery system” (Mullen 91). By calling The Octoroon an intervention, Boucicault intimated that his play could influence what was happening during the antebellum period of United States history by starting a dialog between opposing factions. While Boucicault did indeed contribute to this dialog, he is also known for not choosing a side. “‘Nothing in the world,’ protested the Times, ‘can be more harmless and non-committal than Mr. Boucicault’s play.’ It had in it ‘no demonstrations in favor of the down-trodden, no silly preachings of pious negroes, no buncombe of Southern patriots, no tedious harangues of Eastern philanthropists.’ The Octoroon was exactly what it had intended to be ‘a picture of life in Louisiana!’” (Kaplan 551). By simply writing a play that paints “a picture of life in Louisiana,” Boucicault was able to allow his work to present the complex issues that are the ingredients in this dramatic portrait.
