Um jogo de rainhas: as mulheres de Game of Thrones

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes women’s identities that represented on the TV series Game of Thrones through tree characters that are highlighted on the first season: Cersei Lannister, Catelyn Stark and Daenerys Targaryen. The relations between gender and identities are frequent in the communication discussions’ focus, because of the growth of the role of woman in society. The mass media and its products are fundamental to the diffusion of values and to give support to the individual so that he/she can build his/her identity, establish difference with the order, identify himself/herself and make projection. We look at the way of storytelling transformations – through a way that goes from oral narrative to transmedia; so, we can see that serial narrative always has, in its core, questions linked to the society it is inserted into. Therefore, Game of Thrones TV series is, in our analyze, a big actual society‘s metaphor, stage of a broad Game of Queens.
