Therefore, will be used some theses about Morin (1992) about mass culture, and the concept about social representations, the same way that Jodelet (1989) addresses the culture idea and the concept the culture like simulation Subirats (1998). Considering that the mass culture, like simulacrum manifestation about the popular imagination and the ideologies creates social representations and specularly the real is built. Hence, we consider appropriate the regularities and dispersions in the compositions of the Helena-character, because they structured as the logic mass culture and the real reproduction in the form of simulation reproducing and mediating social representations.
