Popular Programs, Suffering, Testimony, TelevisionAbstract
We propose in this study to investigate the role that ordinary individuals testimony assumes in the narrative construction of popular programs. Our analysis is centered on the narratives built around the history of three women in SBT and Record auditorium programs, and our interest is the way in which women witness their lives and their suffering and also the way the programs treat these testimonies and build a narrative around them. Our analysis reveals not only a common structure in the media narrative of suffering, but also the framework of established relationships, the roles and the performances that are seen in these programs and what they say about our society.
