Abstract

In the context of "Quality TV" television fiction is recovering the voice-off that is resignified and integrated in different ways within the story. In contrast to the classical conception of the male voice-off -omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent- in contemporary series, diverse female voices arise that convey a part of the story and appeal to the audience in multiple ways. The object of the present study has been to analyse the role of female voices in current television fiction, especially in those series that have an innovative use of these voices in off according to their relationship with their source or image. Taking Critical Discourse Analysis as a research methodology, the voices of The Handmaid's Tale, 13 Reasons Why, The House of Flowers y Alias were studied from the perspective of their embodiment. An analysis that has identified three different manifestations of the liberation and power of these female voices-off: through death, as a form of resistance or as an unreliable narrator.
