JORGE, Marina Soler. Women in A World of Men: Female Representation in Narcos and the Illusion of “Universal” Serial Fiction. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.1, e67486.  Epub 01-Ene-2021. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2021v29n167486.

This article analyzes the treatment of female characters in a contemporary narco-narrative, the third season of Narcos. Our research problem is to understand female representation in highly consumed products which, under a seemingly “neutral”, international, professional aesthetic, directed at a wide spectrum of “demanding” consumers, mainly give visibilty to male characteres. We use a case study to understand how, under the guise of universality, serial fiction maintains female underrepresentation.

Palabras clave : Narco-narratives; female representation; Latin-American women.
