| Sumario: | The pedagogical function is inherent to melodrama, which, in turn, is the backbone of the Brazilian telenovela – a finding that becomes even more evident in telenovela for children and adolescents. Therefore, this article aimed to understand, based on the dialogue between Paulo Freire and telepoetic studies, how some issues relevant to the age group of its target audience are treated in Chiquititas (SBT), exploring the perceptions of the relationship between media and education. The methodology prioritized, at first, the bibliographical research and theoretical review, to then enter the narrative and stylistic analysis of the object. The main results suggest, from the Freirian perspective, that there was a movement of the media to contextualize sociocultural conditionings, resulting in an educational-liberating process, with the possibility of fostering a critical reading of the facts involved. |
