DE LA MATERNIDAD AL EMPODERAMIENTO: UNA PANORÁMICA SOBRE LA REPRESENTACIÓN DE LA MUJER EN LA FICCIÓN ESPAÑOLA.

TV fiction assumes a socializing role that influences the configuration of the collective identity. So that, the influence of fiction on the social construction of women becomes very important thanks to its ability to configure identities, influence behaviors and condition the socialization process. This paper aims to deepen the temporal and historical evolution of woman representation in Spanish fiction and to establish perspectives in this representation. For this, we have worked on a qualitative methodology, with a socio-semiotics focus, that analyzes the longest series with more audience in the history of Spanish TV fiction, from two contexts: Family and profesional, to know the role that has been given to women in different contexts of fiction. The results provide relevant conclusions about the role of women in Spanish TV fiction: the woman in the family context continues assuming the role of mother and wife, while in the work context, she develops her work under the control of man. All this, with reflections of empowerment that, after all, do not eliminate the patriarchal marks of society and, therefore, of TV fiction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
