Description

This comprehensive survey of feminist film criticism offers a diverse range of perspectives on film study over the past two decades. The volume brings together theoretical, critical and educational approaches to provide a nuanced understanding of the subject.

The editors have gathered a variety of essays informed by psychoanalytic, linguistic, historical, Marxist, textual and postcolonial discourses, highlighting the diversity of feminist film scholarship and its attention to issues of race, class, nationality, ethnicity and sexuality. The collection includes re-assessments of individual films, genres and cycles, as well as narrative and filmic conventions.

Along with the extensive collection of theory and criticism, the book also includes course files that explore the rationale for feminist film courses and show how films and critical readings can be presented in a meaningful way.
