RESUMO

This studys main purpose is to discuss how the participants of the reality show Ídolos, broadcasted by Rede Record de Televisão, perform themselves to their publics, in order to attract attention and achieve the position of celebrities. Thus, we are discussing the notions of performance, representation, celebrity and framing, which proved to be important concepts to guide our empirical analysis, once they enabled us to discuss both how individuals act towards those with whom they are interacting and how a world of meanings and significations crosses the actions in this reality show. We developed discussions concerning the format and structure of the program; the reciprocal affectation between the competitors while acting in a situation of interaction; the universe of meanings and significations hidden behind the phenomenon of celebrities; the kind of relationship that this universe established among individuals as well as the shared meanings that cross social life. The corpus of this work is the program s third season, broadcasted in 2008. More specifically, we chose to focus on the participation of the winner of Ídolos, Rafael Barreto. We analyzed his interactions with members of the jury, the presenter, other competitors, the audience and the viewers, throughout the season. The choice of Rafael Barreto was due to his route in the program, which enabled an understanding of how the actions were weaved along the reality show. According to the conceptions that guide this work, we understand that the subjects and the social are constituted and constituent of an interaction. We also understand the interaction as a place a locus where we can see meanings and practices that cross social relations.
