From Autism to Queerness: The Shifting Politics of Representation in Atypical
This article examines the evolving politics of representation in the Netflix series Atypical (2017-2021). Through qualitative content analysis of the full series and online fan comments o X (Twitter), it explores the show’s shift from an autism-centered coming-of-age narrative to one increasingly concerned with queer visibility, a shift amplified by one of the lead actor’s offscreen coming out as nonbinary. While the series does not always offer …
Deconstruction of the superhero subgenre in The Boys: A social satire through characters with mental disorders
This article analyses the deconstruction of the superhero film subgenre by examining the demystification of the idealised hero figure and exploring their darker sides. Using Friedrich Schleiermacher's hermeneutic circle and Jacques Derrida's deconstructionism applied to the analysis of The Boys (2019-present), the study reveals that the series' superheroes, portrayed as villains, display behaviours aligning with DSM-5 (2013) mental disorders, bre…
Narrative representation of depression, ASD, and ASPD in «Atypical», «My Mad Fat Diary» and «The End of The F***ing World»

However, research on the accurate representation of mental disorders and clinical reality still lacks, especially since it requires an interdisciplinary approach with higher complexity. This article analyses the narrative depiction of depression, autism without intellectual disability, and antisocial personality disorder in three case studies:…

Communicating Health: Depictions of Depression, Antisocial Personality Disorder, and Autism without Intellectual Disability in British and U.S. Coming-of-Age TV Series
This article aims to foster a better theoretical understanding of the narrative representation of mental and neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically depression, antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and autism (ASD), without intellectual disability on British and U.S. coming-of-age and dramedy television series. A research pilot showed that very little research has been performed on TV series and mental disorders, which confirms the need for…
Aesthetic Representation of Antisocial Personality Disorder in British Coming-of-Age TV Series
TV series' depictions of mental disorders have received considerable scholarly attention. However, few studies have considered the role of aesthetic elements in representing mental disorders. Therefore, in this study, we analysed how aesthetic features influence the representation of "psychopathy" in British coming-of-age TV series through the case study of The End of the F***ing World. We chose to analyse psychopathy due to its over-representati…
Pathologies and Dysfunctions of Democracy in the Media Context
From 12 to 14 November 2018, Universidade da Beira Interior hosted the II International Conference titled: “Pathologies and Dysfunctions of Democracy in a Mediated Context: the new dystopian imaginary of the 21st century. From Orwell to Black Mirror. From Big Brother to Big Data”
Youth empowerment through the creation of i-docs: Educational and social impacts
