RESUMO:

This thesis aims to understand how the synergy between managerial actions and desires for taking positions on the part of Cartoon Network managers and creative showrunner Rebecca Sugar made it possible to carry out a complex continuous narrative in the animated short series duration Steven Universe, launched in 2013. The construction of narrative pursuit in short animated series is unusual, however it was favored by bets from Cartoon Network, which, from the years 2010, created new programming models of its original series in order to make the competitive network in an increasingly fierce dispute with content streaming portals such as Hulu and Netflix. To analyze this phenomenon, we start from a theoretical-methodological approach that combines the sociological perspective of Pierre Bourdieu (2002) and the process of describing the style of Baxandall's artistic works. The Steven Universe production process was described from the problem-solution paradigm, which emphasizes the guidelines involved in the burden assumed by Rebecca Sugar and her team. This theoretical framework allowed us to analyze the construction of the seriality regime and the narrative pursuit of Steven Universe in view of the author's subjective intention and the Cartoon Network organizational projects. For the internal analysis, we start from models of composition of seriality regimes, especially those developed by Barbieri (1990), from the decomposition of the narrative fabric of the series into plots and threads, proposed by Araújo (2012) and the use of dramaturgy resources as described by Staiger (1977). At the end of the analysis, we found evidence that the synergy between management, production and distribution practices are proven and were successful in achieving the goals of Rebecca Sugar and Cartoon Network and brought innovation to the field of animated serial production.
