A tese tem como objetivo o estudo da construção dos personagens-vilões e suas criações na concepção do tipo de vilania em telenovelas brasileiras do horário das 21 horas exibidas pela tevê Globo na década de 2000 a 2010. Concluímos que o processo de criação e de construção da vilania nos principais personagens-vilões depende do estilo de cada autor e pertence à estrutura de suas narrativas teledramatúrgicas, para representar, na ficção, os conflitos sociais da vida real cotidiana brasileira no período correspondente ao da criação de cada obra. Foram selecionados, como exemplo, três autores que construíram os vilões mais representativos da teledramaturgia deste período. Este percurso resultou na seleção das seguintes obras e autores de teledramaturgia brasileira: Passione, (2010/11), escrita por Silvio de Abreu, Senhora do destino, (2004/05), escrita por Aguinaldo Silva, e Celebridade, (2003/04), escrita por Gilberto Braga. Eles possibilitaram a elaboração de tipologias de vilanias presentes na vida urbana das principais metrópoles brasileiras no período delimitado. Para uma melhor compreensão destas proposições da tese apresentamos informações sobre os contextos correspondentes aos momentos históricos da sociedade brasileira e internacional, que implicaram, direta ou indiretamente, nos temas centrais das telenovelas selecionadas. Demonstram, na ficção televisiva, as relações com a realidade social integrada no cotidiano político, profissional e doméstico brasileiro desta época. Mostram como se processam as motivações para a construção da vilania desencadeada nos personagens-vilões, como, por exemplo, as diferentes ações de corrupção decorrentes de conflitos político-econômicos, psicológicos e de relações sociais na época e que permanecem na atualidade. Foram descritos, paralelamente, estudos sobre o gênero melodrama e suas formas de construção em diferentes momentos históricos nos meios de comunicação, em manifestações de diferentes linguagens, tais como no teatro, no cinema e no romance-folhetim, nos aspectos que propiciaram subsídios formais para a construção de personagens-vilões nestas narrativas teledramatúrgicas. Como apoio teórico para as reflexões, também foram selecionados alguns conceitos e algumas noções, como referência, apreendidos em obras de Mikhail Bakhtin, como as relações dialógicas na Comunicação e, principalmente, sobre as noções de personagem de ficção monofônicos, polifônicos e de estilo em seus estudos sobre a poética do romance nas obras de Dostoievski, comparados à poética do teledrama. / The thesis aims to study the construction of villain characters and their creations in designing the type of villainy in Brazilian soap operas for the 9 p.m. broadcast by Globo Channel in the decade from 2000 to 2010. We conclude that the process of creation and construction of the main villainous characters depends on the style of each author and belongs to the structure of narratives of their soap operas stories, to represent in fiction, the real-life social conflicts in the Brazilian society corresponding to the creation of each work. It has been selected, for example, three authors who built the villains more representative of the Brazilian soap operas of this period. This route resulted in the selection of the following works and authors of Brazilian soap operas: Passione, (2010/11), written by Silvio de Abreu, Lady of the destination, (2004/05), written by Aguinaldo Silva, and Celebrity, (2003/04), written by Gilberto Braga. The authors enabled the creation of these types of villainy that are part of urban life of the main Brazilian cities in the period defined. So, for a better understanding of the propositions of the thesis, we present information about the contexts corresponding to the historical moments of Brazilian and international society, which led directly or indirectly, to the central themes of the soap operas selected. It has shown in television dramas, relations with the social reality integrated to the daily Brazilian political, professional and domestic way of life for this period of time and present how to process, the motivations for the construction of the villainous characters triggered, for example, the different actions of corruption due to political, economic, psychological conflicts and social relations at the time represented in the soap operas and that has remained until these days. In this thesis have been reported, in parallel, studies on the melodrama genre and their forms of construction in different historical moments in the media, manifested in different ways, such as theater, film and the novel-feuilleton, that have brought benefits to the formal of the construction of characters-villains in these soap operas stories.Finally, as theoretical support for the reflections, we also selected certain concepts and notions such as reference, seized in the works of Mikhail Bakhtin, as dialogical relations in the communication, and mainly, on the notions of fictional monophonic and polyphonic character and the style of his studies on the poetics of the novel in the works of Dostoyevsky, compared to the poetics of television drama.

Indigenous Australian women who perform contemporary music are acutely aware that Aboriginalist discourse has created unrealistic expectations and public perceptions of Indigenous Australian performance. The theory of Aboriginalism is critiqued and interrogated in this thesis in relation to Indigenous Australian women, performance, and race. This thesis addresses the complex and contradictory ways that Aboriginalist discourse fixes non-Indigenous expectations of Indigenous Australian performance, gender, and race by exploring how the performers themselves work within and against these Aboriginalist constructions through their music. One of the immediate effects of Aboriginalism is that it silences Indigenous Australians. In academic discourse and popular media, the voices of Indigenous women who perform contemporary music are rarely heard and often overlooked or ignored. This thesis aims to redress and understand this gender imbalance by focusing on Indigenous women and their contemporary music and illustrate how Indigenous Australian women performers are enacting new types of agency to negotiate their way through, around, and over one-dimensional Aboriginalist constructions of themselves to self-define more positive and diverse identities as Indigenous Australian women. This thesis is divided into four parts. Part One (Chapters One, Two, and Three) provides necessary background to the study. Chapter One introduces the topic and poses research questions in relation to Aboriginalism, Indigenous women, and contemporary performance. Chapter Two examines a number of themes which emerge in the existing literature relating to Indigenous Australian musicians performing contemporary music. Chapter Three locates Indigenous Australian women in this academic discourse and explores some possible reasons for the increasing number of contemporary music recordings by Indigenous Australian women since the 1990s. Part Two (Chapters Four, Five, and Six) positions this study theoretically and methodologically. Chapter Four outlines the theoretical framework that informs this project while Chapter Five discusses the methodological issues and challenges I faced throughout the research process. Chapter Six introduces the Indigenous women performers who took part in this study. This chapter uses the literary convention of a “playlet” by weaving together comments of Indigenous Australian women performers from one-on-one interviews I conducted, media excerpts about the performers, as well as my own questions and comments into a conversation which tells a story about the performers’ backgrounds, experiences, albums, and achievements. Part Three (Chapters Seven, Eight, and Nine) comprises the analysis chapters and examines Aboriginalism in relation to race, gender, and performance. Each of these chapters utilise theoretical discussions of Aboriginalism, excerpts from interviews with Indigenous women performers, song texts, and media representations to examine how Indigenous women perform within and against Aboriginalism. Chapter Seven focuses on how Indigenous women performers resist Aboriginalist constructs of race through performance while Chapter Eight turns the gaze to gender and Aboriginalism to explore how the performers challenge Aboriginalist representations of Indigenous women by attempting bring Indigenous women’s experiences, history, and topics to the foreground through song. Chapter Nine examines the way in which Indigenous women performers steer their way through Aboriginalism in music performance by blurring musical boundaries and drawing on a diverse range of musical styles. Finally, Part Four (Chapter Ten) discusses the possibilities of moving beyond Aboriginalism and reflects on my own contribution to discourse concerning Indigenous women performers.
