Resumen
LIMA, Cecília Almeida Rodrigues y CAVALCANTI, Gêsa Karla. “Homophobia is so last century”: activism of telenovela fans in defense of fictional lesbians couples. Comun. soc [online]. 2020, vol.17, e7312. Epub 30-Ago-2021. ISSN 0188-252X. https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2020.7312.
This paper analyses the activity of fans who shipped two fictional lesbian couples from recent Rede Globo’s telenovelas. It proposes a reflection over the concept of fan activism (Bennet, 2012) by identifying the practices of LGBTQ communities who acted in order to defend lesbian representativeness in television. The research has a qualitative approach and made use of methodological procedures from Grounded Theory and netnography to process a data basis of 52 515 tweets.
