| Sumario: | The multiplicity of platforms and channels prevailing
in the Third Golden Age of television has
generated an expansion of fictional products,
giving new formats, stories and characters their
own place. Orange is the New Black, with a
mostly female cast, brings the audience closer
to daily life of women in prison. This research
work delves into the representation of main characters’
gender identity, determining which factors
affect the way these women are reflected.
An in-depth analysis of fourteen female characters
detects several stereotypes and values
associated with the traditional heteronormative
model. Nevertheless, prevailing social canons,
represented by the main character, open the
door to multiple femininity models and give visibility
to minority collectives. |
