In this essay 4 we show the role telenovelas play within culture in reproducing and transforming gender inequalities in as much as our evidence encompasses uses that, for the most part, confirm male domination as well as anxieties related to working-class womenвЂ™s sexual liberation. The media have been promoting, since the 1960s, the image of the seductive and objectified woman ( Moreno 2013) and one possibility of synthesising the specific representations of women in telenovelas is that they вЂњreproduce traditional notions of maternity and conjugal love as the вЂmodernвЂ™ notion of the woman who works, but who has the time to look after her body and beauty as well as managing the household without having to share any choresвЂќ ( Almeida 2013: 115).

Unlike the persistent imaginary that has been socially constructed around working-class women as sexually permissive ( Skeggs 2002, 2004), research shows that, in Brazil, these women вЂ“ who have not conquered the same degree of sexual freedom as middle-and upper-middle class women ( Mattos 2006 Brown 2011 Heilborn 2013) вЂ“ reject their image as sexually free.

Our goal is to understand the relation between the consumption of prime-time telenovelas and the process of association and dissociation between sexual pleasure and love by heterosexual working-class women from different ethnicities and generations in southern Brazil.

The fact remains that, in times of convergence, their reception spreads on the web even if our informants are more active in their offline personal relationships and do not fit the category of connected fans or those who are interested in social media for disseminating the plots. The 2015вЂ™s Brazilian Media Survey ( Pesquisa Brasileira de MГdia), conducted by the federal government, shows that, whereas connection exceeds 80% of households amongst Classes A and B, only 49% of Class-C homes have access to the internet, and only 16% of households amongst Classes D and E were connected in 2015 (even though the connection rate in the lower classes has doubled since 2013). These figures must be seen with caution, however, as income and education levels are the main divide between those who have access to the web and those who do not. In 2016, 3 out of the entire Brazilian population, 43% of internet users did so exclusively on their mobiles. The growing role of the internet is proportional to the increase in the number of smartphones. According to PNAD 2013 (the National Household Sample Survey/IBGE), when survey data were obtained, 49.9% of BrazilвЂ™s population accessed the internet and, according to the same index, that figure exceeded half of the population for the first time in 2014, at 54.4%.

Despite the diversity of TV fiction genres on offer via cable or satellite TV and the migration of customers to social networks and mobile media, telenovelas remain a source of collective knowledge and recognition, constituting not only a narration of the nation (Lopes 2009) but also an international-popular narrative ( Ortiz 1994) which is shared globally due to cultural traits in common that are deterritorialised in order to be inserted in new spaces, where they will be located in the cultural density of place.Дespite a certain decline in ratings, the consumption of telenovelas is still highly relevant within the Brazilian population and particularly so amongst the Class C, 2 which make up the main audience of FTA TV in the country. Telenovelas by Rede Globo, the largest TV fiction producer in Brazil, attain high audience rates in the country, 1 and also reach millions of receivers in Latin America and other continents.
