Women’s Roles and Female Characters in HBO’s East European Original Productions

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this study is to analyse women’s representations and gender roles in some of HBO Europe’s original productions. In the first part, on one hand the main issues of the researches focusing on the relations between gender roles and media contents are presented, on the other hand, the importance of the HBO brand on the Eastern European television market. In the second part, the analysis deals with four HBO series in terms of gender roles in them. The analysed television series are the following: Mamon (Czech Republic), Pact (Polish Republic), Easy Living (Hungary), Shadows (Romania). These series correspond to the post-feminist criteria (they allocate the same time in the scenario to the two genres, the psycho-dramatic complexity of the characters is similar, the possibilities of social ascendance of the two genres are represented with the same social accuracy), and the differences between the presented subgroups are due to generational issues.
