| Sumario: | Lately, television shows mixing up fiction and history have turned into a trend in Spain. Because of that, a critical historic framework is necessary in order to analyze the characters depicted by these TV shows. Otherwise, viewers watching such historical shows could eventually assume as accurate historical depictions of characters included by this type of series. Following theoretical frameworks and studies about representations and gender, this article analyzes characters depicted in historical Spanish TV shows produced between 2011 and 2018. The study discusses the archetypes (or discourses of disruption) as well as the stereotypes (generalized discourse). This research demonstrates that characters representing historical persons in these shows tend to match the actual historical figure and, at the same time, proves there are innovations, too (or archetypes). |
