Pressupomos que a personagem segue modelos de representação do feminino, tradicionalmente difundidos pela literatura, especialmente nas obras naturalistas, em que se elege a "fallen woman" como protagonista de diversas histórias de degradação e morte. Por meio do estudo feito sobre a mulher prostituta na literatura, fomos capazes de refletir a respeito da condição feminina, no século XIX, observando a incapacidade da personagem de se integrar socialmente, entre outros problemas acarretados pela vida degradada que experimenta. Moradora de cortiços, está retratada por Crane em um ambiente selvagem, nesse caso, na cidade de Nova York, em pleno desenvolvimento industrial. Apesar de ser personagem protagonista, o autor acentua o aspecto frágil e ingênuo da personagem, apresentando-a como se fosse intelectual e moralmente inferior, incapaz de atuar contra a fatalidade já predeterminada, realizando uma crítica da situação da mulher trabalhadora naquele contexto. Sabemos que o autor assume postura antagônica a de seus predecessores, românticos, e, por essa razão, caracteriza Maggie enfatizando os conceitos românticos na construção da personagem, no intuito de se opor às regras formais e ideológicas do Romantismo. A característica fundamental de Crane é a ironia presente na narrativa, em que as circunstâncias se mostram mais contraditórias revelando valores morais, do mesmo modo, conflitantes. Analisamos a representação da mulher marginal na literatura, bem como procuramos esclarecer alguns... / Abstract: The thesis examines the image of the prostitute in Maggie: A Girl Of The Streets of Stephen Crane, published in 1896 focusing the concepts of feminist criticizes assumed to read and interpret the character Maggie Johnson. It reading from the female experience of interpretation, giving new meaning with this new reading. We assume that the character follows models of representation of women, traditionally widespreaded in the literature, especially in naturalistic works. They elect a "fallen woman" as the protagonist of several stories of degradation and death. Through the study on women prostitutes in the literature, we were able to reflect on the condition of women in the nineteenth century, noting the inability of the character to integrate socially, among other problems caused by life experiences that degraded. Resident of slums is portrayed by Crane in a wild and degrading environment, in this case, the city of New York, in full industrial development. Despite being the protagonist character, the author highlights the fragile and naive aspect of the character, presenting it as if it was morally and intellectually inferior, unable to act against the already predetermined fate, with a critical situation of working women in that context. We know that the author takes an antagonistic stance of his predecessors, romantics, and, therefore, characterizes Maggie emphasizing romantic concepts in building character, in order to oppose the ideological and formal rules of Romanticism. A key feature of Crane's irony in this story, which conditions are more revealing conflicting moral values, similarly conflicting. We analyze the representation of women in marginal literature and seek to clarify some stereotypes that served to represent the woman / Doutor

The purpose of this study is to frame the cinematic male prostitute as a "fallen angel" to demonstrate that the evolution of the cinematic hustler has paralleled historicized ideological definitions of male homosexuality. Because cultural understandings of male homosexuality frequently reflect Judeo-Christian ideological significations of sin and corruption, the term "fallen angel" is utilized to describe the hustler as a figure who has also succumbed to sin due to his sexual involvement with other men. This study constructs an epochal analysis of eight films that explores the confluence of the social understanding of homosexuality with the cinematic image of the hustler from the mid 1960s through the present. In doing so, this study shows that the image of the cinematic hustler is intricately tied to the image of the male homosexual in material cultures and eras that produce them. A filmography is included.
