Belén Moreno Garrido
Mass Media as identity builder
Television has a key role in the construction of identity.
It acts as the driver thread of collective imaginary.
Fiction can be estimated as a repository of representations and a reflection of the social unconscious.
International co-production
With increased competition on television and to reduce production cost, program developers prefer international co-production formulas.
When contacting two or more nationalities, stresses occur when we represent the differetn identity atributes.

Does this affect the representation of the two identities?
Loyalty and identification
One of the functions of the drama series are to get the viewer’s loyalty. The most commun way to gain it is use the identification.
We want viewers to be reflected in the plots and characters.
In Vientos de Agua is used: the atmosphere of a particular time, the absensce of the name of the village, the historical fact, inmigration or stereotypical images.
Argentinian and Spanish
Two identities – Two target audiences.
In Argentina Vientos de Agua was broadcasted in tis entirety in the general channel: Canal 13. In Spain it was only broadcasted complete in FDF ans the regional channel of Asturias.
Why?
The other representation
Asturian representation, not Spanish:The use of Bable
Cider
Landscape
The legends of goblins and elves
Mining tradition
Accent
Spanish representation: Ana y Javier.
Didn’t achieve the identification of Spanish public.
The other representation
Argentinean representation:City of Buenos Aires: people, streets, life…
Chapter 6: Andres’ family death Argentinean precedence.
Present plot: foreign nature of the characters and not on their nationalities.
