Abstract

"Trash TV", "dirty press", "gossip", "stained glass of miseries" are the terms used to refer to television products that represents the world of entertainment and the daily lives of celebrities. These broadcasts occupy a significant portion of the programming grid and are those that get the highest ratings on average. They are usually underprivileged as an object of study in the field of communication and culture because they are considered a minor genre, and when analyzed-are seen as spaces of banalization of culture and misrepresentation of journalistic activity. The approaches proposed from certain feminist perspectives add to this negative characterization, sexism and the reproduction of hegemonic patterns of genres and sexualities as key dimensions in their structure. This article presents an example of the type of connections that can be established between the meanings that circulate through these mediatic textualities and their social context of enunciation. From the analysis of some paradigmatic cases, it explores the way in which the discourse on sexual and gender rights has been cast in the gossip television programs through the first-person accounts of relevant figures in the local show business.
