Television format, MasterChef Brazil, MasterChef Colombia, Reality TVAbstract
The main objective of this paper is to understand how a reality show of culinary deals with local phenomena, despite of being a TV format that emphasizes global elements. To do so, the paper analyses MasterChef Brazil and MasterChef Colombia in order to see how their similarities and differences are able to explain the relation between the global and the local in both contexts. The analysis points out three perspectives: the judges’ identities, the contestants’ geographic and social origins and how these TV shows deal with food. The work considers that food, when mediatically explored, evokes elements related to global culture and, at the same time, with local identities and local media characteristicsDownloads
