Abstract

As a brief reflection on the rom-com Smiley, this text is developed considering the basic elements that configure the subgenre of the work, emphasizing how these elements are used through a discourse that privileges the normative difference, above all, to the field of cinematographic production itself through other representations of gender and sexuality. This characteristic is considered when analyzing the political and educational character of this cultural production that challenges the traditional discursive parameters used in its cinematographic subgenre. To this end, interdisciplinary concepts are used in this analysis, combining contributions from Cultural Studies and Gender Studies, for example, with the aim of offering an alternative critical reading on the construction and reception of messages that structure the series. In this way, the artistic production in question is thus identified as a significant pedagogical artifact for media literacy that promotes important shifts in social and cultural parameters.
