Abstract:
Since 1998 a new trend in Argentinean telenovelas has begun to be part of the
television schedule, and they have become the most popular programmes in the
country.
Different to traditional soap operas, where the main story is based on a
stereotypical love affair with stereotypical characters and a predictable end, the new
telenovela has a lot of characteristics that make it different to the ones that
Argentineans had been accustomed to.
