Original title: "Transexuais em telenovelas: a construção de personagens na Rede Globo" (Transsexuals in soap operas: the construction of characters in Rede Globo) by Lalo Nopes Homrich.
"Lalo Nopes Homrich's work does not detract from the long tradition of studies on representations of minorities on television, particularly in soap operas, but it does something so far unprecedented. It sheds light on the field of production – the social production of representations – by interviewing the professionals involved with the construction of three transsexual characters in Rede Globo soap operas: Ramona, a trans woman, in the soap opera As Filhas da Mãe (2001); Dorothy, a trans woman, in the soap opera Geração Brasil (2014); and, finally, Ivan, trans men, in the soap opera A Força do Querer (2017).
