O que faz um publisher: uma análise a partir da narrativa da série Younger

Abstract

A degree from the Social Communication – Editorial Production course at the Federal University of Santa Maria enables the exercise of several professions, among them that of a publisher. In a book publishing house, the publisher has several duties, the main objective of the present study is to analyze their representation in the television series Younger, a fictional work that portrays, in a dramatic way, the New York publishing market. To this end, a descriptive-exploratory research was carried out, using the bibliographic method and the documentary procedure. Finally, it was observed what the duties of the Publisher are and how they work based on examples taken from the narrative of the series, which, in turn, presents an editorial market with aspects similar to those of real life, which offers a basis for conducting the current research. In addition, the analysis of the series allowed a better understanding of situations that occur in the publishing market that were explained during the Editorial Production course.
