Turismo (d)e teledramaturgia na narração dos espaços urbanos: a representação da cidade de Tiradentes na minissérie Hilda Furacão da Rede Globo

Abstract

This dissertation aims at analyzing how cities heavily depicted by the media through telenovelas make urban imaginary arise in Tiradentes; and how this can be, later, transported into Tourist Narratives. To study the specificities of Tourism of Telenovela, three aspects found in the merger of these two phenomena are highlighted: Leisure, the subjects (the viewers and tourists) and the territory occupied and used by such cultural productions. Such “narrated land” is discussed through national identity, through the cities as texts to be followed and read, and the role of urbanism of the colonial villages in the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais in constituting what we call “Brazility”. Using the miniseries Hilda Furacão (Rede Globo, 1998), the content analysis encodes the fictitious city of Santana dos Ferros which emerged from the miniseries and started to exist within the real City/Filming-Location Tiradentes. The Tourism of Telenovela mentioned by this dissertation is a hybridization of these two phenomena that constitute it, generating a third way in the reading of the urbane, with the content analysis being one of the links which transmutes the scripts into Tourist Narratives.
