This work deals with media representations about the city of Belém presented in the productions "A Solteirona" (2013) and "Sampleados" (2015). We assume that hegemonic media represent elements that invisibilize populations and urban nuclei as much as they value the demographic void and biodiversity of the Amazon region. In this way, we argue that webseries present a differentiated approach by making urban environments the protagonists of their narratives. Thus, we establish as a research problem "how do belenian webs elaborate elements of representations about the urban way of life in Belém?" Our general objective is to identify the media representations about the urban way of life of Belém in webseries from Belém/PA. The specific objectives are: to identify the Central Core of the Representations in the fictional media context on Belém, through analysis of comments in the websodes posts; to identify the peripheral system of representations in the fictional media context about the city of Belém, based on the analysis of comments in the posts of the websodes; to identify the themes through which the webseries represent the urban context of the city of Belém. In this study, we used two methodological approaches. The first one is to observe the media representations. For this, we anchor ourselves in S. C. Cole's proposition of analysis from the pragmatic and cognitive dimensions of the representations. The second approach has the objective of identifying the central core of the representations researched from the comments published in the websodes’ posts. We use J. C. Abric's methodological procedures, based on the writings of C. P. Sá. As results, we observed that both webseries present different approaches on Belém. We also identified that comments feature music as the main element of the central core of representations.
