ABSTRACT
We seek to discuss the relationship between individuation processes and cultural consumption of series by young students from different levels of education in public institutions in the peripheries of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Contributions by Danilo Martuccelli and Martín-Barbero are the main references for this study, which was developed based on the application of questionnaires, discussion groups and interviews. Given the relationship between the increase in the consumption of series and the expansion of schooling, we identified that preferences comprise melodramatic narrative elements and reflective-identity configurations, inflecting social individuations towards a certain contextual inconsistency and the figuration of singularization.
