Resumo: This paper aims at showing how Cher's performance helps break barriers of official identities, celebrates difference, and ultimately voices the marginal. Her career is a vast repertoire of ethnic, feminist, and postmodern representations. It celebrates hybridity and self-transformation and is rooted in her ancestry and the sociocultural context of the United States of her childhood and adolescence. In the episode of The X-Files The Postmodern Prometheus the series creator rewrites Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus and, establishing a parallel between Cher's public image and the myth of Prometheus, shows how her subversive performance empathizes with the marginal and helps build a collective experience that culminates in an impressive number of followers.
