Joves, amor i sèries de televisó. Incidència en l'alfabetització en la (re)interpretació dels relats amorosos televisius

Television series convey stereotyped representations of love relationships which viewers can identify with. Adolescents in particular may view these portrayals as models according to which they may choose to construct and/or change their own identity. This study reflects on the ability of young viewers to decode the discursive strategies of TV series and to be involved in the construction and acceptance of stereotyped love relationships. Our conclusions are founded on the analyses of several focus groups conducted with young university stu-dents. These focus groups were especially designed to understand their level of media literacy and their ability to think critically about stereotyped love relationships.
