CHICHARRO-MERAYO, Mar. April 14, The Republic: the Spanish intra-history seen from the TV fiction14 de abril, la República: a intrahistória espanhola a partir da ficção televisiva. Palabra Clave [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.3, pp.505-523. ISSN 0122-8285.

This article looks in greater detail at the educational role of the TV media. It is based on the assumption that the TV narrative is capable of providing its audiences with structures of interpretation on the surrounding reality. More specifically, some of its products, although well situated in terms of fiction, present explanatory readings on the Spanish society, present and future. From there, it is explicitly expressed in the study of the soap opera entitled April 14, the Republic. Inserted in the macro-genre of melodrama, it features a discourse adapted to the cultural characteristics of its target audience. Its relationship with other texts, as well as the use it makes of emotional and realistic strategies, enables it to get closer to the audience. The analysis of this text allows identifying the semantic keystones according to which the future of the Spanish society, presented in sentimental key but also ideological, is outlined. The characterizations of the world of labor, the rural and urban space, as well as the figure of women are some of the aspects emphasized by this text.

Palabras clave : Soap Opera; Socialization; TV Message; Women; TV Images.
