Luz, câmera e orgulho : um podcast sobre a representatividade do homem gay nos filmes e séries.

Abstract

This Course Completion Work explores the evolution of gay representation and multiple screens (from cinema films to series on digital platforms), focusing on how these narratives have changed over the decades and how they influence the social perception of the LGBTQIAPN+ community, more specifically the acronym G (gay). The research investigates from the first films that addressed homosexuality in a covert way, during the repression of the Hays Code, to contemporary productions that celebrate love and gay identity in a more open and positive way. The work also analyzes public reception and criticism surrounding limited diversity, where, even with advances, gay characters still follow specific aesthetic and behavioral standards. All the knowledge gathered (data, interviews and references) forms part of a sound narrative of a journalistic product in podcast format organized into three episodes and entitled “Light, Camera and Pride” (https://open.spotify.com/show/0v3uWnwfbPPtRu3UnCJLrl) . The choice of the jornalistic podcast as the final product is justified, highlighting its ability to create an immersive and emotional experience, ideal for addressing complex issues such as LGBTQIAPN+ representation in audiovisual media. The narrative format offers flexibility and depth, allowing the listener a greater connection with the content. As a result, it was possible to verify how sound language can be used efficiently in informative roles, even when it comes to productions with visual appeal such as films and series.
