The present thesis aims to investigate the construction of translingualism practices captured in the lines of characters from three Brazilian telenovelas – Aquele beijo, Cheias de charme, and Flor do Caribe, broadcast by Rede Globo de Televisão from 2011 to 2013 –, as well as to discuss the contributions of such practices for (re)thinking both the concept of language and the foreign language classroom. This qualitative research (LÜDKE; ANDRÉ, 2013) considers the telenovela as a research document (LOIZOS, 2013) which composes the documentation of the sociohistorical specificity of a given period. The theoretical framework is comprised of three axes: the relationship between the media and the construction of meanings (KELLNER, 2001; THOMPSON, 2011), focusing mainly on the Brazilian telenovela (HAMBURGER, 2005, 2011; VASSALLO DE LOPES, 2009, 2010; MARTINS, 2011); the rhizome metaphor developed by Deleuze and Guattari (2014); and recent debates regarding the term translingualism (JACQUEMET, 2005; COX; ASSIS-PETERSON, 2006; ASSIS-PETERSON, 2008; CANAGARAJAH, 2013; ZOLIN-VESZ, 2014). This research was guided by the following questions: 1) What forms of translingualism may be identified in the lines of characters from the telenovelas selected for analysis?, and 2) In what ways can these translingual practices help (re)think the concept of language and, furthermore, the foreign language classroom? Results suggest that the languages used by the characters in these telenovelas, i.e. Portuguese and Spanish are de-/reterritorialized, mixed, and transformed, hence constituting a rhizomatic concept of language which is composed of dimensions and unstable directions, whose lines of flight or of de-/reterritorialization surpass linguistic boundaries and structures towards both a translingual pedagogy for the foreign language classroom and the primacy of the construction of meanings.
