Abstract:
Observing the existing languages in transmissions made via television and digital
plataforms, this research studies the female figure of Tereza Batista from the
work of Jorge Amado (1992), shown by Rede Globo de Televisão in the form of
Miniseries. From the analysis of seven episodes, we seek to articulate themes
that are still very present today: domestic violence, machismo, objetification of
woman's body, pedophilia, sexual abuse; and thus, relate them to categories of
violence against women and black feminism. This is a qualitative research where
content analysis is used as the main method of evaluating the chosen scenes. In
conclusion, in addition to all the violence that involved the protagonist, Tereza
Batista at the end; reveals herself, as a great defender, who "raises a flag" in the
mame of women who, like her, suffered from abuse of all kinds.
