In recent years, many reality television formats have been transplanted into China and have become top-ranked shows under the influence of the Korean Wave. In order to unravel the complexity of propaganda in popular culture, this thesis focuses on analyzing China's adaptation of transnational television formats in central and private stations. I excavate how China tries to unify the nation and build the party-state's hegemonic status by way of disseminating political messages in popular media, as well as the state's governance of the influences of globalization and foreign ideas in domestic productions. I also put forth that foreign ideas conveyed in recent formats shed light on issues in China such as class and ethnicity, audiences' ambivalent reception of propagandist programs, and the exportation of China's formats. The genre of reality TV, including production and reception, discloses tension and collaboration between state and commercial TV, the local and the global, and within the Chinese community.

Historicamente, a TV apresenta programas que afetam o mundo de conveniência social, ou influenciam a visão de realidade de muitos telespectadores. Em 1972, Vila Sésama estreou na TV brasileira como um programa educativo com grande sucesso de audiência. A série educativa é uma versão do seriado Sesamo Street, produzido nos Estados Unidos há quase meio século, onde preserva uma audiência expressiva entre as crianças. No Brasil, o programa foi produzido por uma parceria entre a Rede Globo e a TV Cultura de São Paulo e era exibido pelas duas emissoras. A parceria durou até 1974, quando a Globo assumiu a produção e o veículo até 1977, quando foi retirado do ar porque produzi-lo era cara demais. Quase quatro décadas depois do final do Vila Sésamo brasileiro, a TV Cultura decidiu relançar o programa no final de 2007, com a finalidade de fortalecer a emissora no segmento da progamação infantil. Essa pesquisa tem o programa infantil Vila Sésamo como objeto de estudo tomando como material empírico os conteúdos veiculados pelos programas nos diferentes períodos em que foram exibidos, buscando verificar o potencial educativo da série em momentos distintos da nossa história. Utilizamos como metodologia a Análise de Conteúdo, estabelecendo uma análise quali-quanti, que codifica e interpreta o recorte do programa, assim como verifica os formatos encontrados correspoderam às necessidades educacionais dos telespectadores infantis. Após elencados os quadros das duas temporadas brasileiras analisamos quais eixos da Educação Infantil eram trabalhados em cada quadro e a importância dessa aprendizagem no desenvolvimento das crianças em idade de Educação Infantil / In times of digital and convergent media, television is still a means of comprehensive and predominant communication between the popular social layers. Historically, TV shows programs that affect social coexistence, or influence of many viewers view of reality. In 1972, Sesame Street premiered on Brazilian TV as an educational program with great ratings success. The educational series is a version of Sesame Street series, produced in the United States for nearly half a century, which preserves a significant audicence among children. In Brazil, the program was produced by a parthership between Globo and TV Cultura of São Paulo and was displayed by the two broadcasters. The partnership lasted until 1974 when the Globe took over production and ran until 1977, when it was taken down because producing was too expensive. Almost four decades after the end of Vila Brazilian Sesame, TV Cultura decided to relaunch the program in late 2007, with the purpose of strengthening the network in the segment of children's programming. This research has the children's programming. This research has the children's program Sesame Street as objects of study taking as empirical material the content carried by the programs in the differents periods in which they were displayed, trying to verify the educational potential series at different times in our history. We will use as a methodology content analysis, establishing a qualitative and quantitative analysis, coding and interprets the program cut, as well as checks that the formats found corresponded to the educational needs of children viewers. After listed the frames of the two Brazilian seasons analyze which axes of early childhood education were worked out in each frame and the importance of learning in the development of children in age from early childhood education
