Abstract

This article investigates the reconstruction of the narratives of Primo Basílio and Os Maias, by Portuguese author Eça de Queirós, into TV minisseries produced by the Globo Television Network, from the standpoint of the reconfiguration of objects. Based on the notions of materiality and conditions of the production of presence (Gumbrecht, 1998; 2011), we deal with the technological and aesthetic conditions involved in the construction of images, sets and costumes. We argue that the entire process of rationalization to which television has been subjected with regards to the production, image quality, organization of work and the very nature of professional research, especially with regards to costume design, has resulted in a series of characteristics that are features of mediatized language.
