Resumen

La serie de melodrama Milky Way (2023) de Vassilis Kekatos narra la vida de María, una adolescente embarazada en un pueblo griego ficticio, cuyo "sueño ateniense" es unirse al grupo de baile de la cantante eurovisiva Eleni Foureira. La figura de Foureira, relevante en el marco posfeminista actual, finalmente aparece como un deus ex machina en una visión. La propia Foureira desarrolló un sueño ateniense, contrarrestando un contexto xenófobo mediante la excepcionalidad. La presente reflexión utiliza el análisis crítico de contenido para ofrecer respuestas sobre cómo se formula la subjetividad femenina en la serie, cómo Kekatos utiliza sus tropos para abordar la identidad de género femenina y la movilidad ascendente, y qué implicaciones tiene la serie en un contexto griego post-#MeToo. Específicamente, abarca la puesta en escena de Foureira en el marco de lo que Lauren Berlant (1997) ha llamado "ciudadanía diva". La principal contribución reside en el análisis de cómo los modelos adolescentes se ven filtrados por las complejas contradicciones y desafíos inherentes a los entornos posfeministas.
