description In this paper, based on the regimes of meaning and interaction from sociosemiotics theory (LANDOWSKI, 2014), we aim to understand how the totalitarian regime of Gilead, a fictional nation in the dystopian series The Handmaid’s Tale, is constituted, taking as object of analysis the first episode, entitled Offred. From the articulation between the theoretical foundations – totalitarianism (ARENDT, 2012; NEUMANN, 1969; TURPIN, 2012) and sociosemiotics – and the reflections resulting from the analysis, we verified that both the manipulation and programming regimes legitimize the conservation of the totalitarian state.

Neste trabalho, com base nos regimes de interação e sentido da teoria sociossemiótica (LANDOWSKI, 2014), temos como objetivo compreender como se constitui o regime totalitário de Gilead, nação fictícia da série distópica The Handmaid’s Tale, com base na análise do primeiro episódio, intitulado Offred. A partir da articulação entre os fundamentos teóricos – totalitarismo (ARENDT, 2012; NEUMANN, 1969; TURPIN, 2012) e sociossemiótica – e das reflexões resultadas da análise, verificamos que tanto o regime da manipulação quanto o da programação legitimam a conservação do Estado totalitário. 2020-09-17 2022-03-18T19:28:06Z 2022-03-18T19:28:06Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/cadernos/article/view/14195 10.47284/2359-2419.2020.28.225244 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/65522 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/cadernos/article/view/14195/9662 Copyright (c) 2020 CC-BY application/pdf Faculdade de Ciências e Letras - Unesp - Araraquara.
