L’evoluzione del legal drama, stereotipi di genere e il caso di For the People (ABC 2018-2019)

In this work, we analyze the evolution of legal audiovisual serial products. Firstly, we consider the cultural changes of current media representations compared to the past ones, with a focus on the changing character of the lawyer, and in particular of the woman-lawyer who takes on an increasingly important role within the contemporary audiovisual series. Subsequently, using an innovative methodology that adopt qualitative modeling tools, coding of audiovisual objects and traditional textual analysis, we investigate For The People (ABC 2018-2019) in order to identify, characterize and model the isotopies of the legal genre from a qualitative and quantitative point of view.
