Esteriótipos femininos no cinema de ficção científica holywoodiano

a representação da cientista mulher no filme "Gravidade"

Abstract

This article aims to follow a journey about the stereotypes aimed at female scientists in Hollywood Science Fiction cinema through the studies of the researcher Eva Flicker (2003). Based on feminist theorists of cinema and science, awakened in the mid-1970s, particularly in the United States and Europe, the study aims to reflect on how the cinematographic representations of female scientist occurs and whether they are linked to negative stereotypes, whether they are seen as inferior when compared to male scientists, or even if they are listened to by their peers and society. From this, we seek to highlight the way of representing the character Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), from the film Gravity, directed by Alfonso Cuarón and released in 2013, to verify the occurrence or not of such stereotypes. The choice for this film is justified because it was a work that won seven awards at the 2014 Oscars, and starred for more than an hour by just one female science professional, alone in the space.
