NEW SCRIPTED SERIES 13 X 50’ NEW SCRIPTED SERIES 13 x 50’ “We can win if we do it together; me with you and you with me. I promise we’ll do it differently.” UNSTOPPABLE They were told they couldn’t, and so they did. A group of adolescent girls, all of them roller hockey players, confront their day-to-day challenges through the sport. Their team may lose on ADOLESCENCEthe court, but· ANGER will be winners in life.· PAIN · STRUGGLE “Roller Girls” is a series that addresses the subject of female adoles- cence in an honest way, with the occasional daring touch. It directly and unapologetically deals with topics such as monthly periods, friend- CONCEPT ship, toxic relationships, same-gender sex, teenage pregnancy, misun- derstandings, frustrations, dreams, struggles and pain. This sport, and the club to which the girls belong, are elements that link them and serve as the setting for the different stories that play out. Youth, and young people’s view of life, has its effect on everyone, including adults, parents and coaches. The action unfolds in a small- town environment where our protagonists must struggle to shape their own identity, setting aside rumors and expectations. Music and the social networks play a significant role in each episode. They are an integral part of the characters’ lives, adding an innovative and inclusive edge to the series. With its realistic tone, the conflicts that arise are treated as they would be in everyday life: straightforward, alive, filled with emotion and truth. Following Polseres Vermelles (Red Band Society) and Merlí (Merlin), TV3- Televisió de Catalunya now takes on a very female-focused and emotionally-charged subject with the force associated with large pro- ductions. SYNOPSIS Anna, a professional hockey player returns to her home town to recuperate from a sport-related injury, though that is not the only reason. Her former coach, Júlia Terrats, oversees her rehabilitation process. Once she arrives back she discovers that her first hockey club, Patí Minerva (Minerva Skate), is on the verge of closing down the women’s hockey section because the coach has left. Anna considers coaching the junior women’s team to keep it going, but only while she’s recovering from her injury. From that moment on, she and her skaters - Flor, Emma, Laia, Lorena, Berta, Raquel and Gina – go into a training mode that takes them beyond the game itself. All of the girls, each one with her own individual conflicts and solu- ADOLESCENCE · ANGER · PAIN · STRUGGLE tions, must learn to share in order to win, both in the rink and in life in general.

It serves to bring emotions to the fore and set the mood for the viewer. Targeted to a young audience that connects with and feeds on diversity and musical richness. CHARACTERS 25 years old ANNA RICOU Anna is Emma’s sister and the team coach. She is polite and can gracefully handle any so- cial situation with which she’s faced. Having trained as a hockey player for so many years, he has a bit of a complex about her strong and muscular body, so she’s always dated ath- letic types in order not to feel too “masculine” in their presence. Be that as it may, everyone in the town has always considered her the perfect girl. She was always head of the class, the best female hockey player and a friend to all. When she decided to go to Alcalá de Henares to do a Master’s degree in Biochemistry, Júlia Terrats arranged for her to be able to join the women’s hockey team there, and now she has a year of playing professional hockey under her belt. She’s feeling very lost and isn’t sure who she is or what she wants to do. Having returned home after 5 years, Anna and has told everyone that it’s because she’s been offered a job in a prestigious laboratory in the region. But in fact she has come back because she was removed from the team because of positive results on doping tests and after a few months could no longer continue living off of her savings. Once back in her home town, Anna feels like all of the ghosts of the past have found their way back into her life: the distant and strained relationship with her sister Emma; her de- pendence on her former coach and “sports mother” (Júlia Terrats); the unresolved sexual tension with Germán, and more. But, at the same time, facing the new challenge of coach- ing a girls’ hockey team has provided her with a goal and renewed her hopes and energy. When all is said and done, hockey is what has always kept her moving forward. 40 years old JÚLIA TERRATS Júlia Terrats is a tough, competitive woman and very dedicated to hockey. She coached the girl’s hockey team in its peak period, when Anna was one of its great players. She is like a member of Anna’s family, having been best friends with Santi since they first met through the Club as youngsters, and was the first to warmly welcome his partner Núria when she moved to the village out of love for Santi. Now she’s the coach of the senior men’s team that Oscar plays on, and which has been the subject of certain controversy: a woman coaching a first division male team? But nothing can stop her. Júlia wants to have a child. She feels like it’s time, and her biological clock is telling her that it’s now or never, but so far hasn’t had any success with In Vitro Fertilization. She doesn’t have a partner and has had to pay for the expensive IVF procedures herself, though they have all ended in miscarriages. The only ones who know anything about this are her niece Berta, Anna, and her best friend, Santi, who begins to get a little uncomfortable with all of this personal information. Finally, it is Anna who helps her see that maybe she isn’t really so interested in having a child after all, and that perhaps all she wants is to compete against herself or biology. Júlia decides to put her name forward as a candidate for Club president, in competition with Enric for the position. She promises the girls that if she wins, the women’s section will regain its strong standing. CHARACTERS BERTA 18 years old Berta is the goalie and the captain of the team. Though slightly on the chubby side, she has never felt ill at ease with her body; quite the con- trary. She wants to go into Medicine and so takes her secondary school studies very seriously, steadily getting good grades. She worries more about others than herself, and is generous, understanding and kind. The girls on the team consider her a special friend in whom they can confide, because she always listens and offers good advice. Nonetheless, she can sometimes be slightly controlling and pushy when they don’t want to share something with her. She lives with her mother and her aunt, Júlia Terrats. Her mother travels a lot for her work and spends extended periods of time away from home. As a result, the person she truly lives with is Júlia. She and her boyfriend, Lluc, have been together for seven months and have a good relationship, although people can’t quite understand what they are doing together; she is very responsible and he is a featherbrained ne’er-do-well. Berta finds out she’s pregnant. LORENA 17 years old Lorena lives for hockey. Like her brother Oscar, who plays on the senior boy’s team, the two of them have shared a passion for the sport since they were little. The family had nothing to do with that; they just went for it. Both of them also like climbing and head out to the mountains whenev- er they can. Lorena is an enthusiastic, open person with a great sense of humor. Her mother Silvia runs the bar at the sports pavilion. The two of them are very close and can talk about everything. Her father is called “Pela” and he and Silvia have been separated for years, but he shows up on the home front frequently, coming in and out when he feels like it; though he’s not a typical father, they love him as he is, and have a good relation- ship with him. But you can’t count on him when you need him, and they know that. Lorena doesn’t know what she wants to study, but she’s clear about leav- ing the village. She has always admired Anna and wants to follow in her footsteps and go to Alcalá de Henares.

Chalaby1 Abstract This article revisits the history of television (TV) formats—concepts of TV shows that are licensed for local adaptations—focusing on scripted entertainment. While the TV format revolution of the 1990s bypassed scripted formats, they have been catching up in recent years. This article analyzes both the reasons for this late rise and the factors behind the recent growth. It argues that the adaptation of scripted formats is more complex, and risks remain higher than for other genres. The underlying economics of their production and distribution also differ from nonscripted formats. The stars aligned when demand for drama increased worldwide, Hollywood studios began to mine their catalogues, new exporters and scripted genres emerged, and knowledge transfer techniques improved. Finally, this paper analyzes the significance of the rise of scripted entertainment in the global TV format trading system. Keywords global television, Hollywood, scripted entertainment, transnational television, TV formats, TV genres Introduction The history of television (TV) formats—concepts of TV shows that are licensed for local adaptations—is now well documented.

With the perspective of time we are also now able to observe the exponential effect of the efforts made by the many individuals and teams working for and with the Institut. In this regard I would say that this tenth anniversary year has been an exceptional one for the Institut Ramon Llull, offering very satisfying results.

  • TV Remakes of Contemporary Spanish Fiction in the United States: Appropriation, Subjectivity, and Cultural Production
    Vanesa Cañete-Jurado University of Nevada Las Vegas TV Remakes of Contemporary Spanish Fiction in the United States: Appropriation, Subjectivity, and Cultural Production ABSTRACT In recent years, U.S. production companies have adapted a number of popular Spanish TV series for American networks. Contemporary Spanish fiction has drawn the attention and interest of many producers, who have signed on to localize culturally esteemed formats that have gone on to achieve a covetable and lasting success in the United States. Albeit underutilized as a tool for critical analysis, these remakes always shed light on the underlying dynamics of dissemination and influence of ideas in any given culture, since factors of re-appropriation, dominance and self-awareness are always at stake. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of TV remakes of contemporary Spanish fiction on a practical level in order to critically analyze the challenges posed by processes such as multiplicity, fragmentation, and repetition and to show how these processes subvert the role of a subjectified viewer, especially in the context of the contemporary American society. KEY WORDS Spanish television, TV Adaptation, Remake, U.S. fiction, Appropriation 1. Introduction Even though the United States has enjoyed an advantageous and longstanding position as a top exporter of TV shows to the rest of the world, in recent years the number of foreign productions being remade and adapted for American audiences has seen a small yet steady increase (Bielby & Harrington, 2008; Straubhaar, 2007). Despite the obstacles that the distributors of shows produced abroad face when they attempt to expand their presence into the United States, cultural reproduction (in the form of sequels, remakes, or adaptations) lies at the center of the American screen life now more than ever.

  • Catalan Is Spoken by Virtually All Young
    2 Introduction 03 Sociolinguistic data 05 Culture 09 Business and consumer affairs 13 Linguistic roots 17 Education 21 Justice 23 Official status and recognition 25 Internet and the new technologies 27 1 INTRODUCTION Catalan is spoken in four European states (Spain, France, Andorra and Italy). In Spain, it is spoken in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, most of the region of Valencia and the Eastern Strip of Aragon. The linguistic domain of the Catalan language spreads out over a territory comprising 14 million inhabitants, 10 million of whom speak Catalan. Catalan is the mother tongue of important people whose work has had a major international impact: architects such as Antoni Gaudí; painters such as Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró and Antoni Tàpies; musicians of the ilk of Pau Casals and Josep Carreras; chefs such as Ferran Adrià or the Roca brothers; scientists such as Valentí Fuster or Joan Massaguer; and prominent sports celebrities such as Pep Guardiola, Gerard Piqué, Rafael Nadal or the Gasol brothers. The Plataforma per la Llengua is an civil society organisation with more than 13,000 members that works to promote the social use of Catalan, to improve its legal status and to increase linguistic awareness in society, in the conviction that the role of the Catalan language is to become the backbone of social and cultural diversity in our country and that it should therefore be nurtured. Now, in 2017, we are presenting the second English-language version of the InformeCAT. The report presents 25 significant data, obtained from official sources and press articles, as well as data culled from the studies and campaigns conducted by the Plataforma per la Llengua.

Este mensaje va acompañado de fenómenos comunicativos de las conversaciones, los denominados patrones de interacción comunicativa, es decir, el tipo y la cantidad de contenido, la distribución y la duración de los turnos de palabra o el lenguaje no verbal, que varían significativamente en las diferentes culturas. En el presente Trabajo de Fin de Grado se desarrollará un análisis comparado de dos interacciones comunicativas basadas en el campo médico sanitario. Ambas interacciones comunicativas han sido extraídas de dos series de televisión, una de ellas de Polseres Vermelles y la otra de su adaptación en Estados Unidos, la serie Red Band Society. Con este análisis se pretende conocer cómo han sido tratadas en la adaptación las diferencias que existen entre la cultura española y la americana en el ámbito médico sanitario y, concretamente, cómo cambian los patrones de interacción comunicativa de una cultura a otra.
