Representation of fatal woman element narrative: construction about Zahara and Juan like characters in Bad Education movie, by spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar. 2008. 119 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Processos e Sistemas Visuais, Educação e Visualidade) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2008.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tde/2812My study is about the representation of fatal woman narrative element in Pedro Almodóvar s movie Bad Education (2004). This element is composed by two characters: the transvestite Zahara and the actor Juan. These characters act as reflective points in the movie because they have transgression characteristics referring to the fatal woman, whose character was introduced in the narratives of detective stories from the literature in the hard-boiled American crime fiction that on the other hand influenced Americans noir films in the early of 1940s to 1950s. Almodóvar with inspired those movies to compose his neo-noir Bad Education and also to introduce this narrative element, fatal woman, innovating. My study focuses especially on the character Zahara, however, this is not a woman on the biological point of view, but a transvestite who is being staged in the film within the film by Juan, a reference to metalanguage movie. I refer the film noir context for the search and the emergence of women in fatal noir universe, treatment of construction of such characters in terms of language film and feminist research that connect gender, identity and queer theory, talking about the body, narrative and construction of the characters on the scene as points of discussion to subvert the narrativeapplication/pdfAcesso AbertoMulher fatalPedro AlmodóvarGêneroFatal womanPedro AlmodóvarGenusCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::ARTESDissertação
