This article was based on a theoretical and empirical research, in order to make it possible to reach its goal: to analyze women's representation in current beer advertising. Basing on the premise that advertising refl ects existing social values, a refl ection on the role of Brazilian woman in society was proposed. The study was based on theoretical concepts presented by Pierre Bourdieu and other authors who deal with issues of domination, power, division of roles and social relations between men and women. It has been applied Content Analysis as a method in the corpus, composed by 35 Brazilian ads directed to beer brands. For the analyses, it has been codifi ed categories which represented the diff erent ways of portraying the woman in the advertising videos, as it is suggested by Bardin (1995) when the author explains the content analysis through categories. We can conclude that beer is still part of the male universe and that advertising reinforces the distinction of roles and male domination. However, through the representations, it has been noted that female audience has obtained more space within the advertising for this specifi c fi eld, although modestly, because they have presented themselves as consumers.
O modelo de representação social em voga nos produtos audiovisuais televisivos, em especial naqueles produzidos e veiculados no Brasil, tem suscitado estudos e debates. Contudo, apesar da crítica ao padrão hegemônico alicerçado em raça e etnia, caracterizado mais por ausências do que presenças, que historicamente compõe esta suposta representatividade, ainda predomina a invisibilidade que, em alguma medida, tem sido substituída por uma visibilidade controlada. Na contramão desta conjuntura, a animação colombiana Guilhermina e Candelário, exibida no Brasil pela TVE / TV Brasil, apresenta uma série de histórias vivenciadas por personagens negros. Considerando sua excepcionalidade na TV aberta brasileira, propomos extrapolar a observação não científica e analisar de que forma aspectos sociais estão ali retratados. Nessa trajetória empírica, focamos na análise dos quatro protagonistas desta animação, na busca dos significados da narrativa, propostos por Bordwell e Thompson (2008). Como resultado, salientamos que a trama, mais do que problematizar questões raciais, naturaliza os personagens de modo que a sua relevância não se baseia no fato de serem negros. Aspectos étnicos são apresentados de forma bastante sutil e não estão no cerne da narrativa. Ademais, observamos uma ruptura da hegemonia no que concerne à estrutura de gênero que alicerça a sociedade, também de forma natural, porém com maior centralidade, ainda que alguns aspectos dos personagens analisados contribuam para a manutenção de padrões culturalmente naturalizados.
