FABRICANDO ROMANCE: O ARQUÉTIPO FEMININO EM COMÉDIAS ROMÂNTICAS
Keywords:
Comédia romântica; arquétipo; feminilidade; filme de gêneroAbstract
This article seeks to analyze aspects of the construction of romantic comedies and to understand how the elaboration of female archetypes and stereotypes takes place within the genre. Tracing different mediatic images of femininity, archetypes of the romantic heroine and constructions of the social role of women, the article exposes the close relationship between the roles of women in society and the female protagonist in films in a bilateral exchange in which films are built in regard to existing cultural models and the culture about women is based on filmic representations. The different paradigms are associated with their historical contexts and the contextualized approach proposes romantic comedies as this mediation of models of femininity. The impacts of these female stereotypes on the imagination of young women who were educated about love and romance with these cultural products are also explored.
