| description | Teen characters have a relevant presence in current TV shows, and, especially, play-ing the leading roles. Their construction involves a number of recognizable stereo-types, but they also include some characteristics of the problems and situations which are familiar to the teenager audience. In that way, they facilitate the process of identifi-cation with the viewers. With the aim of reflecting on the stereotyped image of teenag-ers in serial fiction, highlighting the current American ‘Teen TV’ and addressing the ‘Netflix serial uiverse’, two main characters of two famous series from the VOD platform will be analyzed in this paper: Hannah Baker from 13 Reasons Why, a victim of bully-ing in her highschool, and Sam Gardner, from Atypical, a teenager with autism spec-trum disorder. For that reason, a qualitative analysis template, based on Francesco Casetti and Federico Di Chio’s theories, will be applied as a person and as a role. From these considerations, this work intends to make an approach to the teen charac-ters’ treatment in Netflix television shows which are targeted a teen audience, and be-sides explore social, actual and complex problems. |

Los personajes adolescentes tienen una notable presencia en las series de televisión actuales y, especialmente, ocupando roles principales. En su construcción intervienen una serie de estereotipos reconocibles, aunque presentan también ciertos rasgos de los problemas y situaciones del público adolescente al que se dirigen. De esta manera, facilitan el proceso de identificación con los espectadores. Con el objetivo de reflexio-nar sobre la estereotipada imagen de los adolescentes en la ficción seriada, poner en valor la Teen TV estadounidense actual y abordar el universo serial de Netflix, en este trabajo se analizará a dos protagonistas de famosas series de la plataforma de VOD: Hanna Baker, de Por Trece razones,víctima de bullyingen su instituto, y Sam Gardner, de Atípico, un adolescente con trastorno del espectro autista. Para ello, se les aplicará una plantilla de análisis de personajes de carácter cualitativo como persona y como rol basada en las teorías de los autores Francesco Casetti y Federico Di Chio. Desde es-tas consideraciones, este trabajo pretende realizar una aproximación al tratamiento de los personajes adolescentes en las series de Netflix dirigidas a los propios adolescen-tes y que, además, exploran problemáticas sociales complejas y actuales. 2018-06-30 2022-03-22T14:36:18Z 2022-03-22T14:36:18Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://comunicacionymedios.uchile.cl/index.php/RCM/article/view/48631 10.5354/0719-1529.2018.48631 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/78581 spa eng https://comunicacionymedios.uchile.cl/index.php/RCM/article/view/48631/52968 https://comunicacionymedios.uchile.cl/index.php/RCM/article/view/48631/53532 https://comunicacionymedios.uchile.cl/index.php/RCM/article/view/48631/61113 Derechos de autor 2018 Comunicación y Medios application/pdf application/pdf audio/mpeg Universidad de Chile.
