| Abstract | |
The following dissertation analyses the Brazilian television shows Cidade dos Homens (2002-2005) and Antonia (2006-2007). Such productions are in a privileged position to discuss the simbolic place that poverty in urban outskirts develops in the audiovisual environment and nowadays social dynamics. This study is particularly interested in understanding how these programmes portrait power asymmetries, social domination and inequity, at the same time they confront ethical, esthetic and political implications of such representation. I highlight patterns and differences, as I look upon them in the light of a broader movie and television production spectrum, interpreting each object minding the paradigms of contemporary social tension.
