Includes bibliographical references and index.

1. The Black Femme Fatale in "Xica da Silva" -- 2. The Femme Fatale's "Troubled" Gender in "Madame Sat" -- 3. Social Class and the Virgin/Whore Dichotomy in "Bonitinha mas ordin��ria" -- 4. The Fetish 'Dirt' as 'Social Pollution': The Married Femme Fatale in "A dama do lota��o" -- 5. The 'Abject' Lesbian Fatale in "As intimidades de Analu e Fernanda" -- 6. 'Quoting' the Film-Noir Femme Fatale in "A dama do Cine Shanghai".

The femme fatale has long been constructed and understood in popular culture and cinema as a beautiful heterosexual Caucasian woman that belongs to film noir and neo-noir. Here, da Silva shows the need to incorporate diverse ethnic groups and male homosexuals into the range of "femmes" fatales. He examines how the Brazilian representations cross genre, gender, race, and class and offer alternative instances (black, slave, homosexual, married, and teenage) to the dominant Hollywood Caucasian model. As with gender performativity, the danger the femme fatale represents to society is constructed rather than being an innate feature. This figure represents areas of cultural anxiety, particularly around issues of sexuality and gender, but da Silva seeks to reframe these issues in the context of Brazilian film.
