During my time as a student in Groningen was the early '90s on the Dutch television admire. Brazilian series 'Barriga the Aluguel' This telenovela, which at the time was central modern family controversial surrogacy in Brazil still was after "Malu, modern family Mulher" one of the first opportunities for the Dutch public to meet you. Brazilian mass culture (For me personally, "Barriga Aluguel the 'fact the ideal way to get the Portuguese spoken in Brazil mastered since I only Portuguese of Portugal was presented at the university. It took me quite a few rolls of black tape eventually took to the Dutch subtitles to tape, but my love for the Brazilian language before returned.)
The telenovela was partly due to the success in academia a hit. You could not beat the early 90s open dissertation on Brazil or had in one way or another with the Brazilian version of the soap opera of doing. However, the Brazilian genre in the Netherlands, unlike Russia, China and other countries in the Far East, never really got a foothold afterwards. Here were the American (As The World Turns and The Bold and the Beautiful) and Australian (Neighbours) soaps that resonate with us, in addition to the sprawl that followed on home soil after the launch of Good Times, Bad Times in 1990. The genre itself has not waned in popularity in Brazil. The Brazilian soap industry is still in full swing. The productions (almost all made in Rio de Janeiro on the purpose-built modern family Projac studio area of the media empire of Rede Globo) that keep the country modern family at the moment the spell still bear lofty titles like Avenida Brasil, Cheias Charm, Amor Eterno Amor and Malhação. The trials and tribulations within the plot of the series can be followed on the website of TV Globo daily and the protagonists fill the glossy magazines and tabloids. Telenovelas in Brazil are big, big business. However, another offshoot of the firmament of Brazilian popular culture carries a Dutch seed. If somewhere has made the genius of John de Mol format modern family called Big Brother success then it's in Brazil. Big Brother Brasil BBB or better known as has become a phenomenon in itself. This Brazilian success began in 2002, where the Dutch series ended in 2008, TV Globo now extended the contract with Endemol to 2020.

As solid anchor for the loyal viewers (and there are many in Brazil) in successive episodes applies Pedro Bial, the graying fifties that the public and the residents of the BB house along all the emotional highs and lows leads. modern family (The latest news is that Bial this year after ten faithful service will be replaced by the youthful and popular sports journalist Tiago Leifert.) The program pops the bright color contrasts modern family literally the tube, one participant is more theatrical than the other, and the episodes are frequently interspersed with erotic scenes and allusions. However, BBB is as good as colorblind. The vast majority of participants (North European) white and almost exclusively derived modern family from the improved levels of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais.
BBB is actually a telenovela, but with the great advantage of interactivity. It allows ordinary Brazilian, who can only dream of a contract for Projac and thus a key to a successful career in the Brazilian glamor world, daily capable nevertheless of the complications of the television and computer. Actively share This is verify by Rede Globo became the ingenious combination where every dictatorship of dreams. It is the Bread and Circuses poured into a mold. Where the former telenovelas like "Barriga the Aluguel 'could still count on sympathy within leftist intellectual circles since its taboo-breaking themes BBB seems to have lost. Blatant consumerism through her flat and this credit in one fell swoop whole
