Situating the Feminist Gaze and Spectatorship in Postwar Cinema

Marcelline Block

4.6/5 ( ratings)

Marcelline Block's Situating the Feminist Gaze and Spectatorship in Postwar Cinema breaks new ground in exploring feminist film theory. It is a wide-ranging collection 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 Agnes Varda's 2007 installation at the Pantheon to the post-Soviet Russian filmmakers Aleksei Balabanov and Valerii Todorovskii; from Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof to Sofia Coppola's postfeminist trilogy; from Chantal Akerman's transhistorical, transgressive and transgendered gaze to the quantum gaze in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park; from Hitchcock's good-looking blondes to the career-woman-in-peril thriller, among others. According to the semiotician Marshall Blonsky of the New School University in New York, given the breadth of the editor's 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 'new eyes' to view canonical and other film texts. David Sterritt, chairman of the National Society of Film Critics, states that this anthology should be required reading for students and scholars, among other readers interested in the interaction of cinema with contemporary culture. Situating the Feminist Gaze and Spectatorship is prefaced by Jean-Michel Rabate's brilliant essay, Mulvey was the Firsta
