SUMMARY:

ABSTRACT

A series distributed via Netflix streaming platform, the first season of The Mechanism is said to be freely inspired by the real events of the Brazilian Car-Wash operation (Lava Jato) which was created by José Padilha and Elena Soarez, produced by Zazen producer in 2017 and distributed by Netflix streaming platform in 2018. Having as the basis of his television drama, the book of Valdemir Netto intitled Car-Wash: Judge Sergio Moro and the Behind-The-Scenes Story of the Operation That Shook Brazil (original title: Lava Jato: O Juiz Sergio Moro e os Bastidores da Operação que Mudou o Brasil). The present work starts from this title as a case study to verify the hypothesis that his television drama shined through an imaginary of political myths and mythologies, operating in the strengthening of the Car-Wash operation fictional spectacularity along with the Brazilian media-political spectacle of the time. For this purpose, the thesis is structured in three chapters that privilege different approaches to the theme, whose objective is to steam from broader issues of the political spectacle to come to details related to the book. In the first chapter, a theoretical review is held, bringing to light Roland Barthes' (2009) semiotic vision of myth and the definitions of mythology, specifically the political mythology of Raoul Girardet (1987), as well as aspects related to the political image and spectacle involved in the Car-Wash operation. In the second chapter, the thesis narrows down theoretical aspects of the television drama, mainly from the perspective of Comparato (2018) and Pallotini (2012), and, subsequently, makes a detailed analysis of the main dramatic arcs of The Mechanism and its subplots. In the third chapter, there is a fusion of findings from these two previous chapters, detailing the political mythologies intertwined to the political spectacle implicit in the book, as well as findings from their political mythologies involved in the speeches of its creators. Finally, the thesis problematizes its findings, especially as to a kind of dramaturgy of which the mentioned series is part, whose fiction overflows a factual interpretation, that is, a narrative game between the political myths of the series with the factual myths of the political spectacle of the time.
