Um Só Coração. A Recriação Ficcional de Yolanda Penteado

Resumo (EN)

The miniseries Um Só Coração, broadcast in 2004, was envisaged by Globo TV as one of the events to celebrate São Paulo 450th foundation anniversary. The authors, Maria Adelaide Amaral and Alcides Nogueira, assembled a wide panel on the piecemeal process of building the city's cultural identity throughout the 20th century, from the point of view of one of its major patronesses, Yolanda Penteado.
Quintessential facts concerning the evolution of the city urban, cultural, social and political life were depicted in the plot, from the 1922 W eek of Modem Art, the 1924 and 1932 revolutions, arriving at the 40's, the post-war period, with the creation of the Museum of Modem Art - MAM, the São Paulo Art Museum - MASP, the Brazilian Comedy Theatre -TBC and the Vera Cruz Cinema Company, on to the inauguration of the television broadcasting system in 1950 and the creation of the São Paulo International Biennial Art Exhibition. Toe importance of Yolanda Penteado in setting a permanent cultural agenda to the city is unveiled as their sequence unfolds. Toe miniseries trails the paths followed by Yolanda Penteado and many of the actual and fictional characters with whom she interacts along four decades. This research aims at finding out the means by which the biography was transposed to the television miniseries format. It is an investigation on the process of inserting fictional characters and events in a so-called "biographical" production, on the cultural and historical references considering its spanning period and, at last, the feuilleton narrative resources and the elements of symbolic significance summoned to compose the production.
