Abstract

The objective of this study is to comprehend how the recognization happens on the folklorical characters Saci, Cuca, Iara and Curupira, that appear on the TV show Cidade Invisível. To do it, studies about semiotics and aesthetics were considered and applied to images and related to the imaginary, through the physical adaptations and the changes made in the narratives of the mentioned characters. This was achieved searching for theories from authors into those themes, through bibliographic research. So, the analysis ocurred in two stages, being the first one focused on each character's narratives and how it is inserted on the TV show, and the second one in the physical form of the miths, analyzing their clothing, unique characteristics and in their symbols recognition. This way, we understand how it's possible to recognize mystical beings through symbolical elements related to them, even if they are visually adapted to the narrative. In the end, it was possible to recognize this folkloric characters inserted on the modern context of the TV show. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
