Meu pedacinho de chão: sete movimentos à procura da narrativa

Abstract

This dissertation aims at the soap opera Meu pedacinho de chão, made by TV Globo in the first half of 2014, for the time of 6:00 pm. The novel is a postmodern fairy tale, full of quotations, dialogues and intertextualities, with childhood as an epicenter. We start from the proposal of Luiz Gonzaga Motta's narrative analysis to understand how the foundation of the novel was constructed, what argumentative strategies were used and what metanarrative was evidenced. We allied to Motta's proposition the steps of the construction of the audiovisual script, which was listed by Luiz Carlos Maciel. We also draw on the concepts of Marshall McLuhan, Bakhtin, Yuri Lotman, and Pierre Bourdieu to elucidate issues related to gender stereotypy. Researchers such as Maria Immacolata, Cristina Mungioli, Cristina Costa, Isabel Orofino, Maria de Lourdes Motter and Anna Maria Balogh are also among our references. We conclude that the narrative promotes a reflection on hegemonic patterns of feminine and masculine, and emphasizes the childhood as sacred territory of construction of the new one.
