Sense8, Sexuality and Stereotypes: A Semiotic Analysis of Lito and Hernando

In this video, I discuss the main ideas developed in the academic article “Lito and Hernando: A Semiotic and Discourse Analysis About Sexuality in the Sense8 Christmas Special Episode”, which examines how homosexuality is represented in the Netflix series Sense8. The analysis focuses on the relationship between Lito Rodriguez and Hernando Fuentes, exploring how cinematic language—such as framing, camera angles, and close-ups—constructs meanings related to sexual diversity, prejudice, acceptance, and love. Drawing on semiotic theory and discourse analysis, the video highlights how Sense8 challenges traditional stereotypes of gay male characters, especially the association between homosexuality and effeminacy. By analyzing key scenes from the Christmas Special episode, the video shows how audiovisual narratives can promote empathy, question heteronormative norms, and contribute to broader discussions on LGBTQIA+ representation, identity, and social visibility. 🎥 Main topics: Sexual diversity and representation in audiovisual media Semiotic analysis of cinema and TV series LGBTQIA+ identities and stereotype deconstruction Sense8 as a cultural and educational artifact 📄 Related article: Maia, L.
