This thesis aims a critical reading of two American series also aired in Brazil: Star Trek and Heroes. The survey proposes to observe dissensus from the multitude present on both TV series. The multitude (HARDT; NEGRI, 2000) is a social force capable of challenging the sovereign power and to establish new forms of social organization, their presence may present dissensus (RANCIÈRE, 2010), new elements to what is conventionally considered and sense, the sensitive system already established. This movement is associated with materialistic conception of history that suggests seeking tensions against the dominant social order (BENJAMIN, 1987). The Star Trek series debuted in 1966 and its last episode was broadcast in 1969. The series was produced by Desilu Productions and broadcast by NBC, and your transmission took place at a time when American foreign policy has to tend less to an imperialist activity than to a policing action to a supranational order service. The hypothesis is that his narrative shows the will of the multitude to prevent the exercise of the former European sovereignty and to overcome the nationalist struggles. The Heroes series was produced in partnership by Tailwind Productions, NBC, Universal Television and Universal Media Studios. Four seasons were exhibited from 2006 to 2009. The series covers the history of characters who, because of genetic mutations, discover powers that make them special. Although they appear in different parts of the world, there is some force that, in many ways, remains interconnection between the characters. The hypothesis is that the special abilities of Heroes characters may be attached to faculties of the multitude able to oppose the order of global capitalism. The overall objective of this research is, as stated initially, to look for dissensus from multitude inside the series. It is possible to see that these cultural objects do not carry a single system of presentation attached to commercial logic, but let see, within their respective contexts of production, transformative capacities against the established order. It can be said that the tensions in the series denote trouble for tradition defended by the dominator, presenting challenging ways to read the story doing justice to the dominated.
