Abstract

The theme of the “new middle class” sounded as a strong metaphor about what is most distinctive in the current context of Brazilian society. He updates what Martín-Barbero (2001) pointed out in melodrama as a way of recovering popular memory and a way of indicating the “ways of the people's presence in the mass”. What would be at stake in melodrama, according to the author, is the “drama of recognition”, a metaphor that we can use for some signs of identity of this new part of the population that demands recognition both symbolic, that is, media, and real, materialized. in the entry of 40 million Brazilians into the labor and consumer markets. The year 2011 can be considered the “year of social networks”. In a very short time, Brazilians became the third social network user and Brazil the seventh world internet. Broadband expansion already points to the internet as the fastest growing media in the country. The direct conversations
and indirect information about the telenovela notably expand the repertoire
shared and make the social semiosis linked to fictional contents.
