The present research questions how the feminine identities of the characters Arya and Sansa Stark, of Game of Thrones are represented, and which senses about the contemporary feminine are mobilized by the series. We have, therefore, as general objective to analyze which senses about the contemporary feminine are present in the representation of the feminine identities of the characters Arya and Sansa Stark that contribute to the construction and representation of the feminine, considering in relation to the culture lived and the process of mediation. As specific objectives we intend to verify the conditions of production that contribute to the configuration of the contemporary woman's identity in the series; investigate from the lived culture, that feminist agendas are triggered through the series; observe narrative elements that form the discourse; and to point out the characterization base of the identities of the characters selected for the study. In order to do this, we seek to study our object through three main instances: lived culture, production context, and textual forms (characters and interactions) inspired by Johnson (2006) and Williams (2003) propositions, based on the epistemic perspective of cultural studies. According to Williams (1979), Martín-Barbero (2001) and Orozco Gómez (1997), these three instances contribute to the process of mediation, which acts as an interpreter of everything that passes between them. We perceive, therefore, that the series tries to problematize types of violence that happen in the contemporaneity in relation to the feminine like sexual, psychological or physical violence, child marriage and woman as currency of exchange. Thus, throughout the seasons, the characters are portrayed in order to ascend, after going through numerous types of violence, and acquire values formerly present only in the masculine universe, characterized as a masculinized independence. Therefore, the negotiated meanings between fiction and reality present in Arya and Sansa in the series are formed according to the environment in which they live, social and private values imposed by society.
