Abstract
How to show an experience on television makes the viewer sympathizes with it as a partner and accomplice? It is on this issue that this article is structured, taking as cut out a Brazilian reality show dedicated to showing the birth of babies: the program Boas Vindas, displayed by the payed channel GNT. The aim is to discuss the role assumed by the testimony on television, not only from the account of the characters in the stories, but the images that anchor the moment of the birth and make the viewer a witness of the narrated experience. The analysis seeks to highlight at least two uses of testimony in the program: 1) there is an effort to minimize personal conflicts and value their overcoming; 2) testimony works as a way of constructing the subjects’ authenticity and experiences.
期刊介绍:
The journal Comunicação, Mídia e Consumo – Communication, Media and Consumption – is published in printed and digital versions by the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação e Práticas de Consumo da ESPM-SP – Postgraduate Programme in Communication and Consumption Practices of ESPM-SP – Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing – Superior School of Propaganda and Marketing and it is evaluated as Qualis A2; its editorial line is to approach relevant topics of the field of Communication, understood here as a complex socio-cultural process and practice. The articles must be well-founded and mobilise different authors of a given theoretical tendency so that they develop a critical reflection about the approached thematic topics. In the case of empirical articles, besides the contextualisation and the descriptive stage of the material, we privilege articles which present a theoretico-interpretative of the aspects that are observed in the corpus.
