Resumo

The Outlander TV series has generated a lot of media attention focused in the allegedly feminist character of her leading heroine. This fact allows us, not only to make an analysis of the product, but to consider the state of postfeminism in popular culture. We have defined postfeminism as the belief in the feminism’s outdated character because women had already achieved their rights in the 1970s and the 1980s. This belief is specially embodied in the popular culture, with a diffuse sensitivity towards women’s achievements. The purpose of our study is to use the debate around Outlander and her “feminist heroine” to discover the stereotypes, representations, limits, convergences, temporalities, and contradictions between the feminist-postfeminist academic discourses in the first decade of the 21st century. For that, we have employed an analytical method to study and connect gender stereotypes, in this case based on the dialogue between the alleged “barbarian” past and the “civilized” postmodern era and her deconstruction of gender categories.
