RESUMO
The present study analyzes the cinematographic representations of female gender in Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar¿s filmography. Woman ¿ massified and overrepresented ¿ appears to acquire a refreshed representation in the hands of the Manchego director, precisely by declining the ordinary (normative) or Hollywoodian representation. His characters seem to be built and defined by their gender identities ¿ or by the absence of them, whether male or female. To achieve this understanding, the selected method of evaluation was a Content Analysis of the seventeen Almodóvar motion pictures presently available on the market. This study is based on two main theoretical arcs: the Social Representations Theory, from the seminal work of Serge Moscovici to its appropriation by Cultural Studies, and the theoretical hues of gender issues, which pervade Feminist Studies and generate discussion to the present date. The main analytical focus, however, is the manner in which female gender representation is articulated in Almodóvar¿s filmic universe and his strategies as filmmaker and artist.
