Vai na Fé, representações afrodiaspóricas em rede e o circuito da cultura

Abstract

This monographic work aims to reflect on afro-diasporic representations disputed on the network from the soap opera Vai na Fé. It is intended, in a broader way, to discuss the relationships between television, representation and blackness to then undertake an analysis of the reverberations on digital networks , especially on X/Twitter, from the soap opera. The analytical study identified and delved deeper into two biases in representations of blackness endorsed by the soap opera: the issue of religiosity and black corporeality symbolized in the use of braids. We use, as a methodological lens, the Circuit of Culture (Paul du Gay, et Al, 1997) to understand the relationships between modes of production, circulation, consumption and identity of these representations (Hall, 2003), and the idea of ​​networked audiovisual ( Gutmann, 2021). Furthermore, we use authors and ideas related to race and blackness in conjunction with the basic concepts in order to understand the issue in an intersecting way.
