SUMMARY:

This research carries out an investigation about the constitution of the character Isabella Swan in the fanfiction (fan fiction) Bloody Lips. Based on the studies of the Circle of Bakhtin (2011, 2015a, 2015b, 2016), this study considers fanfic as a text that is in dialogue with a matrix. This relationship is inseparable, since the meaning of the relationship can only be established by this connection. In addition, the subjects who perform this scriptural practice subvert the matrix texts in order to insert their marks of subjectivity in them. Thus, characters, narrative universes and plots are appropriated and shaped from the fans' valuesand ideological positions. In this research, the focus is on the constitution of the female character, for refracting the social voices that enunciate speeches about the feminine as well as the dialogical relationship (BAKHTIN, 2011) with the character in the matrix text (Saga Twilight, written by Stephanie Meyer). To understand how the character's identity is formed, the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the Bakhtin Circle were used, especially with regard to the prime philosophy, language, concrete utterance, dialogism, bivocality and the constitution of the subjects (the notion of finish and incompleteness). In addition, the discussions of Henry Jenkins (2009; 2015), about fandom and fan practices, and Anne Jamison (2017) about the historical constitution of the fanfic were added to the discussion. To complete the theoretical framework of the research, feminist studies, with emphasis, in the texts of Heleieth Saffioti (1987) and Naomi Wolf (1992) were introduced. The option of using studies from different areas is justified by the fact that this research is part of Applied Linguistics, an area of knowledge in which research is carried out at the borders with other areas of Human Sciences. In the end, this research understands that the identity of Isabella Swan, in Bloody Lips, is built dialogically, through the clash between the social voices that are materialized in the writing process, especially with the religious discourse, which constructs female images within the sacred x profane dichotomy.
