Emily in Paris: as representações culturais de Paris e seus habitantes sob a ótica do seriado

Abstract

The media have a fundamental role in the creation and diffusion of cultural representations. Through movies, TV shows, music, books, magazines, social networks and other media, the media help to shape our perceptions about different cultures, people, social groups and identities and, consequently, influence the way we relate and we behave towards them. Therefore, it becomes important to study the cultural representations promoted by the media and, in the case of this work, those made through serial programs. Therefore, this article seeks to identify and analyze the main cultural representations presented in the Emily in Paris series through the analysis of its first episode. To achieve this objective, we opted for a contentanalysis of a qualitative nature and of a descriptive and exploratory nature. Finally, the present work was able to identify, from the first episode of the series Emily in Paris, the presence of stereotypes, clichés, culture shock and ethnocentrism in the representation of the culture of Paris and its inhabitants.
