Descrição
Based on the Netflix television series Queen Charlotte (2023), this article proposes an analysis of the historical conformation of clothing as a mechanism for maintaining hierarchies and imposing strict social regulations, especially on women. The plot, based on the story of England’s Queen Consort from 1761 to 1818, transports us to a time that, although idealized by fiction, sketches the quality of female drama in European court societies. In particular, it looks at how the fixations and permanences of the logic of sumptuary norms come about. Dress is a determining social act for women who try to reinvent their spaces of existence in the gaps of the aristocratic system. The interpretative analysis is based on the case study suggested by José Luiz Braga and the heuristic method proposed by Carlo Ginzburg, in order to capture clues offered by the diegesis for the reconstruction and understanding of the historical narrative and from the perspective of authors such as Georg Simmel and Alan Hunt.||

||A partir do seriado televisivo Rainha Charlotte (2023), da Netflix, este artigo propõe uma análise da conformação histórica das vestimentas como mecanismos de manutenção de hierarquias e imposição de austeras regulações sociais, especialmente para a mulher. A trama, baseada na história da rainha consorte da Inglaterra no período de 1761 e 1818, nos transporta para um tempo que, embora idealizado pela ficção, esboça a qualidade do drama feminino nas sociedades de corte europeias. Observa-se, particularmente, como se dão as fixações e permanências dispostas a partir das lógicas das normatividades suntuárias. O vestir é um ato social determinante para mulheres que tentam reinventar seus espaços de existência nas brechas do sistema aristocrático. A análise interpretativa se apoia no estudo de caso sugerido por José Luiz Braga e no método heurístico proposto por Carlo Ginzburg, a fim de captar indícios oferecidos pela diegese para a reconstrução e compreensão da narrativa histórica e na perspectiva de autores como Georg Simmel e Alan Hunt.
