Latin American telenovelas can be viewed on several Spanish-language cable and satellite networks. Due to language differences, Brazilian telenovelas - except for those broadcast directly via satellite by Globo TV International - are dubbed into Spanish before they air in the U.S. In concluding, one may say that since its inception 50 years ago, the telenovela has traveled around the globe, crossed geographical and political borders as well as socioeconomic classes, endured economic crises, and even suffered reversals of fortune (such as in Cuba, Puerto Rico and Ecuador) while showing no signs of imminent death or extinction as a worldwide popular genre. Latin American continues to produce and distribute the greatest number of telenovelas, although telenovela production is no longer limited to that region. As a matter of fact, telenovelas made in the U.S. have also enjoyed enormous success in Latin America. It is widely believed that if telenovela production in the U.S. continues at the current pace, the flow of distribution of telenovelas, which has traditionally been from South to North, might begin to shift the other way. Maybe. Maybe not. Only time will tell. Meanwhile, you are invited to learn more about Brazilian telenovelas at La Pastina's talk Sept. 17 at 2:30 p.m. at the Business Building, room 319.
