Subversões narrativas femininas no 'narcoreality show' Cartel CrewEste artigo analisa a representação de personagens femininas no reality show Cartel Crew, transmitido na rede de cabo dos EUA VH1. Para esta análise, foi desenvolvida uma folha de resumo com categorias que refletem aspetos sociodemográficos e outros elementos relacionados com as relações, a violência e a objectificação/sexualização. Estas categorias ajudam a identificar o nível de empoderamento das personagens femininas. O estudo descobriu que a agência das personagens femininas continuam a ser mediadas maioritariamente por homens, mesmo quando as mulheres alcançam posições de poder. As conclusões acima sugerem que as mulheres continuam a ser atribuídas a um papel específico definido por um olhar masculino. Embora esse papel tenha sido reconfigurado para parecer mais elegante e universalmente apelativo, não pode esconder os sinais da visão patriarcal da estas produções.
