Situating the Feminist Gaze and Spectatorship in Postwar Cinema
Marcelline Blockas Situating the Feminist Gaze and Spectatorship in Postwar Cinema breaks new ground in exploring feminist film theory. It is a wide-ranging collection (re)visiting important theoretical questions as well as offering close analyses of films produced in the United States, France, England, Belgium, and Russia. This anthology investigates exciting areas of research for critical inquiry into film and gender studies as well as feminist, queer, and postfeminist theories, and treats film texts from Marguerite Duras to 21st century horror films; from AgnAus Vardaas 2007 installation at the PanthAcon to the post-Soviet Russian filmmakers Aleksei Balabanov and Valerii Todorovskii; from Quentin Tarantinoas Death Proof to Sofia Coppolaas postfeminist trilogy; from Chantal Akermanas atranshistorical, transgressive and transgendered gazea to the aquantum gazea in Steven Spielbergas Jurassic Park; from Hitchcockas agood-looking blondesa to the career-woman-in-peril thriller, among others. According to the semiotician Marshall Blonsky of the New School University in New York, agiven the breadth of the editoras choices, this volume makes a splendid contribution to feminist and cinematic fields, as well as cultural and media studies, postmodernism, and postfeminism. It lends readers anew eyesa to view canonical and other film texts.a David Sterritt, chairman of the National Society of Film Critics, states that this anthology ashould be required reading for students and scholars, among other readers interested in the interaction of cinema with contemporary culture.a Situating the Feminist Gaze and Spectatorship is prefaced by Jean-Michel RabatAcas brilliant essay, aMulvey was the FirstabaIn their essay aa#39;There is No Unauthorized Breeding in Jurassic Parka#39;: Gender and the Uses of Genetics, a (2000) Laura Briggs and ... examine Jurassic Park (1990 and 1993) and Gattaca (1997) as cultural depictions of the public debate about genetics at the ...
