Abstract

From the theoretical approach of the visual studies articulated with television style analysis, I intend to analyze visualities of Latin America and historical events on the contemporary drug problem exhibited in the first season of Narcos (Netflix, 2015). Based on the primary meaning established by the producers, it is possible to understand the complex relationships between crime, economy, formal politics and corruption.
