Literatura na televisão: história, memória e biografia

Abstract

The author analyzes the phenomenon of miniseries in Globo network along the year of 1984, with emphasis in Anarquistas, Graças a Deus, adaptation of Zélia Gattai’s novel, identified as genre memoir, that recreates historically some periods of Brazilian reality through men’s and women’s daily dramas, revealing behind them a greater history that determines the shapes of the violence that intermediates the social relations. The revisit of such literary pieces by television, especially in the year of 1984, indicates the path adopted by the producers of fiction in miniseries format as a way to resist to spectacularization of the global world in the decade of 80. This mixture of fiction, history and biography, updated by TV dramaturgy, appears as a revision of the national in the internationalizating project of that time.
