“…que foi pioneiro no formato longo de contar histórias na televisão (Geraghty, 2010). Defendo que a presença, ao longo do tempo, dessa zona de crítica e discordância real ou potencial simultaneamente desafia a tendência de romper com formas passadas e presentes, populares e artísticas de contar histórias em série e demonstra que essa tendência existe e persiste.…”

Este artigo objetiva problematizar duas tendências centrais nos estudos recentes sobre a serialidade, mais especificamente como a nova era de abundante produção e consumo de narrativas serializadas se relaciona com a serialidade da forma como ela era avaliada e vivida em épocas passadas. Estão em jogo aqui questões de continuidade e/ou ruptura no mutável cenário das narrativas midiáticas. Defino as duas tendências, respectivamente, como a da continuidade negada – uma vez que defende uma ruptura radical entre as formas televisuais seriais contemporâneas e as anteriores – e a da ruptura ignorada – com referência à aparente cegueira da academia em relação à ruptura com a serialidade provocada pelas novas tecnologias e práticas de assistência culturalmente ativadas.

“…The relative absence of categories of analysis and valid methodological tools for this object of study explains why there have not been more studies in this field (Mills, 2010;Geraghty, 2010). From a narrative perspective, these productions that are "aimed at women" are usually constructed around one or several leading female characters.…”

Este artículo refleja la capacidad de la ficción seriada para reconstruir la historia. Más concretamente, se entiende que las series de televisión han ayudado a releer el pasado de la sociedad Española, centrándose en personajes de mujeres. Tres productos de ficción histórica son analizados en detalle, desde una perspectiva semántica. Estas series reconstruyen diferentes períodos de la historia española (Amar en tiempos revueltos, La Señora y 14 de abril. La República). El artículo sostiene que estos relatos articulan una representación conectada del cambio social en España, concediendo un papel de liderazgo a las figuras femeninas. Apuestan crecientemente por personajes de mujer empoderados, con creciente peso en el espacio público y particularmente en la esfera política. El análisis de contenido cualitativo ha sido utilizado para desentrañar la narrativa y los significados de estos textos audiovisuales

“…Connectedly, at the time of writing, we are at a point of change in the industry use of the term 'continuing drama' in relation to a number of programmes and spanning multiple genres. Given the porous and interchangeable ways in which the term has been applied to various programmes (see Geraghty, 2010 for a useful guide to this ambiguous terrain of definition), it is perhaps of little surprise that producers have begun to redefine and reframe particular productions as a result of wider structural changes to narrative norms. Rather than wade into this debate, for the purposes of this article, it is not the associated generic, stylistic or 'quality' questions surrounding 'soap opera' or 'continuing drama' more broadly which are of primary interest, but rather the structural properties of these dramas in terms of their storytelling strategies and, in particular, the effect that these properties have on actors' processes.…”

This article argues for acknowledging and exploring actors' processes in critical considerations of television drama. Theatre studies boasts a tradition of research privileging the actor, including a century's worth of actor-training manuals, academic works observing rehearsals and performances and actor accounts. However, such considerations within television studies are relatively nascent. Drawing upon continuing drama as a fertile case study for investigating the specificities of television acting, the article concludes that the only way to understand television acting is through the analysis of insights from actors themselves, in combination with the well-established practices of analysing the textual end products of television acting.
