La casa de papel: uma crítica ao capitalismo e sua financeirização por uma perspectiva da análise cartográfica do discurso

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to demonstrate how La Casa de Papel, through its narrative and discursive construction, constitutes a relevant critique of contemporary capitalism and its financialization, using concepts from Discourse Analysis to map this critique. The series is analyzed as a discursive practice (Maingueneau, 1997) that constructs a particular scenography (Maingueneau, 1998), creating an ethos (Maingueneau, 2013) of the group of robbers as heroes who rebel against the corrupt financial system. The discourse of La Casa de Papel dialogues with other discourses (Maingueneau, 2008) on capitalism and the financial crisis, inserting itself into a larger discursive formation (Maingueneau, 2008) that questions the current system. The series' rhizomatic narrative (Deleuze; Guattari, 1995), with multiple entrances and exits, represents a micropolitics of resistance. The robbers deterritorialize the Bank of Spain, but run the risk of reterritorialization by the system (Deleuze; Guattari, 1995). Therefore, Cartographic Discourse Analysis (Deusdará; Rocha, 2021) explores the Spanish series La Casa de Papel as a critique of the contemporary capitalist system. Using Cartographic Discourse Analysis (Deusdará; Rocha, 2021), as a study, it investigates how the series' narrative and its characters symbolize resistance against the financialization of the economy and the inequalities generated by capitalism. The research analyzes the discursive elements present in the series, such as dialogues, characters' actions, and symbols, to map critiques of the global financial system. This dissertation argues that La Casa de Papel is not just a heist story, but a metaphor for the struggle against economic oppression and the search for social justice
