| Resumo: | In 2017, the streaming platform Hulu premiered the first season of the series The Handmaid’s
Tale, an adaptation of the eponymous book by author Margaret Atwood. The context portrays
an alternative reality, in which the United States suffered a political coup and through it there
was the implementation of the theocratic regime of Gilead. The series quickly won over critics
and audiences, bringing a dystopian plot full of symbolism and visual elements that dialogue
with the unstable socio-political moment faced by countries like Brazil and the United States
in the same period. The production gained prominence through shares and discussions on digital
social media, becoming part of the series culture, which has been developing over the past few
years, mainly with digital audiovisual platforms. Therefore, this study defends the hypothesis
that there are close and possible links between the series and the current reality, which reveal a
symbolic clash between the advance of the struggle of feminism and the current conservative
governments, grounded in the chauvinism embedded in the culture of contemporary societies.
To highlight these aspects, the film analysis methodology was used (VANOYE; GOLIOTLÉTÉ, 2002; SORLIN, 1985), to understand the intentionality of the diegéticos and visual
elements present in the first season of the series, with greater emphasis on the episode Offred.
Also, Cultural Studies (WILLIAMS, 1979) were used in dialogue with other authors (ELIAS,
2011; FOUCAULT, 2014; ADORNO, 2002; JENKINS, 2008; JOST, 2012; MORIN, 2002;
BAUMAN, 2017) to exercise understanding of the materiality of culture and its current social
relations through streaming media. This enabled the realization of a deeper sociological reading,
which revealed themes such as the rescue of "values", fears, surveillance and control, in
dialogue with contemporary society. |
