悬疑剧在我国影视市场占据着重要的地位，探讨罪与罚、正义与邪恶、守序与失序等具有复杂性和深刻性的主题，加之重悬念、强冲突、多转折的戏剧特点，兼具观赏价值与教育价值。自2004年广电总局针对涉案题材电视剧的播出下发管制条例后，国产悬疑剧创作受到打击，直至2014年才借助新兴的网络播出平台再度回归大众视野。十年来，现实题材悬疑类网络剧在情节搭建、人物刻画、主题内涵、视听语言等各方面都取得了突破，对女性形象的塑造方式也有所变化，脸谱化、公式化、扁平化的现象得到改善，取而代之的是女性形象的塑造手法逐渐丰富，精神内涵日益深化。女性角色承载起重要的戏剧作用，甚至成为悬疑剧的主要人物和叙事核心，在曾以男性视角、男性话语为标签的悬疑题材中，这种差异体现出社会性别观念的转变，也为悬疑剧女性形象提供了研究和阐释的空间。

基于上述现象，论文以2010-2024年间涌现的优秀悬疑类网络剧为研究文本，以其中具有代表性的女性形象为研究对象，从外形、身份、性格、动机等角度提炼悬疑剧女性形象的几种基本画像，结合女性主义文艺批评理论，探究悬疑类网络剧女性形象的创作倾向、塑造方法及其所代表的社会意涵，通过对悬疑类网络剧中的女性形象特点、功能和定位的深入挖掘，探讨近几年女性角色在悬疑剧中从“失声”到“发声”的变化和表现方式，分析引发这一变化的社会文化动因，以及潜藏于女性形象创作之中的价值取向，揭示当前悬疑类网络剧对女性人物刻画的进步性和局限性。论述从以下几个方面展开：

第一章对本文的研究范围，即现实题材悬疑类网络剧进行界定，并对电视时代悬疑剧的女性形象创作进行梳理；第二章分析现实题材悬疑网剧女性形象产生变化的经济、社会、文化动因，并从功能定位、塑造方式、形象气质、话语地位四个维度探究女性形象的转型表征；第三章探讨悬疑网剧中女性形象的塑造方式，在类型定位上将其分为“侦破者”“犯罪者”“涉案者”，以“叙事时空”“共性议题”“视听语言”三个角度分析悬疑网剧中女性形象的表现手法，并总结了女性形象的演变特征；第四章对现实题材悬疑网剧中女性形象的创作现状进行反思，总结当前悬疑网剧在性别价值观上的偏颇之处，以期对今后的网络剧创作提供借鉴参考。

Suspense series occupy an important position in China's television market, exploring complex and profound themes such as crime and punishment, justice and evil, order and disorder, etc., coupled with the dramatic features of heavy suspense, strong conflict and multiple twists, they have both ornamental and educational values. Since 2004, after the SARFT issued regulations to control the broadcasting of TV dramas with case-related themes, the creation of suspense series has been hit until 2014, when they returned to the public's view with the help of the emerging network broadcasting platform. Over the past ten years, realistic suspense web series have made breakthroughs in plot construction, character portrayal, thematic connotations, audiovisual language, etc. The way of portraying women's image has also changed, and the problem of flattening has been addressed, replaced by a gradual enrichment of women's image portrayal techniques and deepening of their spiritual connotations. Female characters carry important dramatic roles, and even become the main characters and narrative core of suspense dramas. In the suspense genre that was once labeled by male perspective and male discourse, this difference reflects the change of gender concepts in the society, and also provides space for the study and interpretation of female image in suspense dramas.

Based on the above phenomenon, the thesis takes the excellent suspense web series emerging between 2010 and 2024 as the research text, takes the representative female images as the object of study, refines several basic portraits of the female image of suspense series from the perspectives of appearance, identity, character, motivation, etc., and combines them with feminist literary criticism theories to explore the creative tendency and shaping method of the female image of suspense web series, as well as its social connotation. Through in-depth excavation of the characteristics, functions and positioning of female images in suspense web series, we will explore the changes and expressions of them from "losing voice" to "speaking out" in recent years, and analyze the socio-cultural motives for this change. We analyze the social and cultural motives that triggered this change, as well as the value orientation hidden in the creation of female characters, and reveal the progress and limitations of the current portrayal of them in suspense web series. The discussion starts from the following aspects:

Chapter 1 defines the research scope of this paper, i.e., realistic suspense web series, and introduce the creation of female image in suspense TV series; Chapter 2 analyzes the economic, social, and cultural motives for the changes in the female image of realistic suspense web series, and investigates the transformation characterization of the female image in the four dimensions of the functional positioning, shaping mode, image quality, and discourse status; Chapter 3 explores the ways of portraying women's images in suspense web series, categorizing them into "detectives", "criminals" and "involved in the case" in terms of genre positioning, analyzing the expression methods of female image from three perspectives of "narrative space and time", "common issues" and "audiovisual language", and summarizes the evolving character of female figures; Chapter 4 reflects on the current situation of the creation of female image in realistic suspense online series and  summarizes the partiality of this genre in terms of gender values, with a view to providing reference for the creation of web series in the future.
