Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Since the 1980s, the appearance of violent women in cinema has been noticeably growing, thus becoming one of the most relevant and controversial objects of study in the current research lines of Feminist Film Theory. The present article explores the massive emergence of these figures at the dawn of postmodernity, while making visible the recurring formulas through which these women tend to be represented. Furthermore, this text studies as well how the previously mentioned formulas aid the Film Institution to assimilate the figures of
violent women and the social trauma they cause.
