Zusammenfassung:eng: This thesis is intended to offer a sociocultural study of the images of women in Austria films from the beginning in 1908. Since then till now the actresses embodied stereotypes (vamps, spinsters, mothers etc.) mostly defined and elaborated by the men engaged in the film industry. Women in film generally emerge not only as projections of the male values of directors, scriptwriters or producers, but also as artistic creations of costume designers and art directors. Aspects of the mise-en-scene (lightning, framing, composition, costume, settings, camera-angles, editing conventions) contribute to the sexual objectification of the woman on screen and, furthermore, produce and confirm well-defined meanings for the viewers of film. These female stereotypes appear simple and easily recognizeable and rely on complex cultural knowledge about the ordering of social relations, corresponding striking to society's accepted role definitions for women. In supporting characterization, film costumes underscore these ideologies of feminity and encourage easily read iconography. Costumes are fitted to characters as a 'second skin', working in this capacity for the cause of narrative by relaying information to the viewer about a filmic 'person'. But the dissertation is not only interested in the fact, how women are 'used' in movies, especially how the parts, women play, function as projection and verification of cultural 'myths', but also how female cinemagoers use movies and how filmtheory may be discussed in a feminist way.
