RESUMO

This research has as investigative focus the process of identification raised on the brazilian telenovela audience - intricate and multifaceted phenomenon that requires a dialogue between the structures that constitute it. Therefore, as a methodological procedure, it systematized the connection between the formal structure of the soap opera, the contemporary society and the psychic configurations. This way, this research was divided into three analysis perspectives. The first perspective refers to the dramatic structure: the elements and narrative strategies used by the telenovela that raises the identification and a possible catharsis on the audience and how these elements are constructed into the plot. The second is about the connection between concrete day-to-day and fictional day-to-day: the reality transposition to the screen looking for the viewer identification with what his is familiar to. The third perspective brings the reflection about the fictional reality construction, based in the reproduction of contemporary society, which inscribes a crisis of senses that forbids the viewer to question himself about this structure. The link between these perspectives indicate a path which leads to an important element in understanding the phenomenon under analysis: psychic configurations that are driven towards the need of consolation. In front of the suffering and unable to overcome it, is formulated an illusory escape from the day-to-day, defense mechanism that maintains their own suffering. Thus, through the link and tension between the constructs consolation, fantasy and experience, was possible to elucidate the tools that are present in the national telenovela and which offer to the audience an alternative to the experience possibilities. In a society where the opportunities of cultural formation are obliterated, the telenovela seems to replace the experience and hinders to estabilish an autonomous psychological sphere. But it is not enough that the audience see their day-to-day lives on the screen, or even realizes examples of behaviors to be followed in the soap opera. This research indicates the need that sparks of a not lived life presents as possibilities of experience, even a borrowed experience.
