“…Each component of the definition established above situates both sources and adaptations within their respective place(s) and time(s), which are crucial data points for comparative and transnational study. In practical terms, this definition of textuality would not recognize historical narratives, "true stories," and traditional legends as sources for adaptation, although scholars have usefully understood all of these as such (e.g., respectively, Tutan & Raw, 2013;Leitch, 2007;Thornley, 2018;Krasilovsky, 2018). Such "sourceless" adaptations, as they could be categorized, may still be accounted for in the broadest possible census of adapted texts.…”

Family satisfaction is significant and complex concept that includes personal satisfaction and relationship satisfaction among family members. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the preliminary young people’s and their parents’ perception family satisfaction analysis. The research was conducted on a convenient sample of students/young people (N=50) and their parents (N=84). For the purposes of this research The Family Satisfaction Scale from FACES IV instrument (Olson, 2010) was used. The mentioned scale measures the positive aspects of relationship among the family members. The results indicate that young people and their parents are generally satisfied with their family life. On some items of the scale there is statistically significant difference among young people and their parents. Parents are more satisfied with their family life than their children. These results are encouraging especially in the context of COVID 19 pandemics and increasing numbers of undesirable family relationships.

This chapter address the ways in which screenwriters create the persona of the anti-hero in the Chilean TV miniseries Heroes (2006)(2007), a six-part historical series about Chilean national heroes, currently used as educational material in Chilean schools. In the writing of this celebratory series, the key challenge was to create engaging characters who could be perceived as national "heroes" in the context of a contemporary series, when in fact, their historical actions were those of "un-heroic" real people, people an audience would consider to be "anti-heroes". To consider this challenge, this chapter traces how the screenwriters of Heroes created the character of the hero/antihero as both protagonist and antagonist. In the chapter, firstly we outline the situation the writers were faced with in researching and recreating the real life characters of Bernardo O'Higgins, José Miguel Carrera and Manual Rodríguez. This includes the challenge of delving into the psychology of characters who were by present day standards prejudiced misogynists who mistreated women, ordered murders and fathered illegitimate children whom they ignored -and presenting them as heroes, particularly when the target audience was school children. Secondly, we consider key strategies developed in the study of the anti-hero in TV studies. Finally, we distill these as a means of considering a way in which to frame the creation of the anti-hero in the script development of Heroes.
