Description
Feminist Film Theory: A Reader brings together key statements from major debates in feminist film theory since 1970. This anthology maps the impact of influential theoretical developments, such as structuralism and psychoanalysis, on the field, highlighting shifts in methodologies and their relationship to feminist media studies. The book explores a range of topics, including oppressive images, female spectatorship, and issues of fantasy and desire in popular film. Organised into six sections, the readings deal with central themes that unite them: the importance of a feminist "politics of vision". This collection charts the history of feminist debates about culture, representation, and identity in cinema over the past twenty-five years. With contributions from leading scholars such as Laura Mulvey, Jacqueline Rose, and bell hooks, this anthology provides a comprehensive overview of feminist film theory.
