Resumo: In general, this work aims at analyzing the matter of genders in Hitchcock s motion pictures, understanding his reference to the phallic type of femaleness, the different maternal kinds, the ambiguity in generic categories and how sex roles are distributed in his movies. Specifically, it addresses the examination of these generic configurations from costume design s point of view. This work s methodology consists of bibliographic and filmographic research. The main references are theoretical and critical works about Hollywood s narrative classic cinema and works about Hitchcock s cinema. As for the matter of genders, this work bases on Freud s three Contributions to the Psychology of Love. Freud s concept of The Uncanny is the theoretical basis for the articulation between misogyny and the uncanny, i.e., the matter of the woman as sinister. There are particularly interesting keys to the comprehension of this question in The Taboo of Virginity. Images, scenes and sequences the most significant ones, which demonstrate the costume design role in gender configuration from the movies that make up the corpus will be analyzed so as to understand how these female and male types and their ambiguities are constructed by costume design. Especially in this approach to genders, the analysis of Hitchcock s movies is paramount, because, by mixing up sex roles through shuffling generic categories, the director almost reaches homosexuality, which, linked with clothes, will be examined in almost-explicit homosexual characters. This study arises from the hypothesis that Hitchcock s cinema has broken down gender categories, shuffled sexual role distribution and built sexually ambiguous characters at least since 1940. As a secondary hypothesis, it is presented that the nuanced generic configurations can be interpreted through costume design
