The occupational roles of television fiction characters in Spain : distinguishing traits in gender representation

Abstract

This article presents the main findings of a study on the portrayal of occupational roles in fiction series broadcast by the general nationwide channels during the 2009/2010 season in Spain. Fiction is one of the most highly appreciated genres amongst audiences, thus the study of fiction characters allows us to identify the models and roles portrayed and transmitted by television. The gender related variable shows that the representation of male and female occupational roles in television fiction remains unequal, although there has been some improvement in relation to previous studies.Este artículo presenta los principales resultados de un estudio sobre la representación de los roles ocupacionales de los personajes de la ficción seriada emitida en España por las cadenas generalistas con cobertura estatal, durante la temporada televisiva 2009/2010. La ficción es uno de los géneros más apreciados por las audiencias. Por eso el estudio de los personajes ficcionales permite de manera significativa identificar los modelos y los roles transmitidos por el medio televisivo. Los resultados relativos a la variable de género demuestran que la representación de los roles laborales de hombres y mujeres en la ficción televisiva sigue siendo desigual, aunque algunas características hayan mejorado respecto a los antecedentes analizados
