- Title

- Authors
Coiro-Moraes, Ana Luiza; Lisbôa Filho, Flavi Ferreira
- Abstract
The article argues that today's media characters may be understood through a typology. As models of acting, these character types appear in programs that raise ordinary people to the heights of media visibility through reality shows. Our article presents a proposal for mapping the characters in Big Brother Brasil, seasons 4 and 10, and discusses what the character types say about the protagonist syndrome and Brazilian culture.
