Calm down, girl, it was just a joke: stereotypes about women in the brazilian comedy " The invisible woman"

estereótipos sobre a mulher na comédia brasileira "A mulher invisível"

Abstract

From the theoretical framework of French Discourse Analysis, in addition to studies on humor, stereotypes, cinema and gender, this work aims to analyze the stereotypes of women in the construction of female characters in Brazilian comedies A Mulher Invisível, by Cláudio Torres. (2009) and Marcus Baldini's The Perfect Man (2018), noting how they contribute to achieving comic effect in films. We chose cinema to compose the research corpus because, as an art, it allows us to observe different aspects of our society, as well as the comedy cinematographic genre, since humor deals with controversial themes, considered prohibited in certain environments, operating with stereotypes and allowing us to observe the representations that circulate in our society.
