Abstract:
The present dissertation seeks to understand and prove the hypothesis that the act of twisting by a romantic pair in a fiction can be considered as an instance of reception, because these groups form Interpretative Communities, based on the concept of theorist Stanley Fish (1992). From the fan groups of the series Once Upon a Time (OUAT, 2011-), our work follows the author's logic by putting the fans by couples as a meaning-making group, in which these communes would enter into disputes to validate the their interpretations, based on arguments that guide their logics, are the past experiences, struggles and ways of recognizing the world, especially in matters of gender and sexuality. The clash between them is also observed and analyzed from communicative concepts that speak of the behavior of the contemporary con-sumer public. Within the speed and quantity of information propagated daily within the inter-net, the phenomenon named "Jenkins, Ford and Green" (2015), of "spreadable media", is con-figured. In order to understand the functioning of the analyzed individuals, we use the "partic-ipant observation", along with the studies acquired in the bibliographic review. The follow-up of the data collected for this research happened in three groups of the social network. It is within this context that the discussions, afflictions and affections of the viewers of the series chosen as object of study spread and gain importance for their original filmmakers. The pre-sent study seeks to understand and understand the particularities of the fans and of OUAT.
