Sue Thornham explores issues of space, place, time and gender in feminist filmmaking through an examination of a wide range of films by contemporary women filmmakers, ranging from the avant-garde to mainstream Hollywood. Beginning from questions about space itself and the way it has been gendered, she asks how representation functions in relation to space and time, and how this, too, is gendered, before moving to an exploration of how such questions might be considered in relation to women's filmmaking. In sections dealing with spaces from wilderness to city, she analyses in detail how these issues have been dealt with by women filmmakers, addressing the work of filmmakers such as Jane Campion, Kathryn Bigelow, Julie Dash, Maggie Greenwald, Patricia Rozema and Carol Morley, and films including 'An Angel at My Table' (1990), 'Daughters of the Dust' (1991) 'The Ballad of Little Jo' (1993), 'Winter's Bone' (2010), 'Zero Dark Thirty' (2012) and 'The Falling' (2014)

Etude de l'image, de la place et de la représentation des femmes maghrébines dans le film de Moufida Tlatli sorti en 1994. Rebelles et coléreuses tout en restant dociles et soumises, ces personnages incarnent un paradoxe de la condition féminine arabe. Elles bousculent toutefois la hiérarchie des genres en symbolisant une rupture et une libération dans l'ordre établi de la société patriarcale. ©Electre 2019 Les Silences du palais se propose d'étudier la représentation, l'image et la place accordées à la femme maghrébine. Les personnages féminins semblent incarner un mécanisme de perturbation dans la hiérarchie des genres, une source de rupture et de libération à travers la fiction. Ainsi, l'ordre établi dans la société est renversé par les personnages féminins qui affichent leur colère à l'écran. Ces femmes réveillent les craintes face à un pouvoir masculin qui se maintient par la brutalité.Ces révoltées véhiculent l'image d'un désordre créateur et rédempteur. Parallèlement, il y a une autre face de la représentation féminine montrant une docilité et une soumission prépondérantes. Le corps n'est donc envisagé par la femme que dans ses rôles qui marquent à la fois sa dépendance envers l'homme et l'emprise que celui-ci exerce librement. L'oeuvre évoque, ainsi, un paradoxe certain de la condition féminine arabe : d'un côté, la représentation de la femme soumise et obéissante, de l'autre, le portrait d'une femme rebelle.

From the celebrated film critic and author of The Biographical Dictionary of Film, an original, seductive account of sexuality in the movies and of how actors and actresses on screen have fed our desire. Film can make us want things we can not have. But, while sometimes rapturous, the interaction of onscreen beauty and private desire speaks to a crisis in American culture, one that pits delusions of male supremacy against feminist awakening and the spirit of gay resistance. Combining criticism, his encyclopedic knowledge of film history, and memoir, David Thomson examines how film has found the fault lines in traditional masculinity and helped to point the way past it toward a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a person desiring others. Ranging from advertising to pornography, Rudolph Valentino to Moonlight , Rock Hudson to Call Me By Your Name , Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant to Phantom Thread , Thomson shows us the art and the artists we love under a new light. He illuminates the way in which film as art, entertainment, and business has been a polite cover for a kind of erotic séance. And he makes us see how the way we watch our movies is a kind of training for how we try to live.

"Sportswomen in Cinema considers both documentary and fiction films from a variety of periods and cultures, by directors including Kathryn Bigelow, Gurinder Chadha, Im Soon-rye, George Kukor, Ida Lupino, and Leni Riefenstahl. Drawing from psychoanalytic and phenomenological theories, the book presents a series of landmark close readings of films featuring a variety of different forms of athletic activity, including baseball, basketball, bodybuilding, boxing, climbing, football, rollerderby, surfing, tennis and track and field. In focusing on themes such as gesture, screen space and sound, it moves beyond a purely narrative analysis of sports films. What's more, as well as building on existing scholarship in sports studies to argue that sport should always be conceived of as more than simply competitive, the book also contributes to ongoing efforts in film theory to foster new feminist discourses on sexual difference. The ideas of thinkers such as Judith Butler, Bracha Ettinger, Griselda Pollock and Michel Serres are employed to explore how films featuring female athletes reflect changing perspectives on femininity and sexuality and also, potentially, contribute to transforming our perceptions about sportswomen and cinema. Sportswomen in Cinema is an important addition to the literature of film studies, gender studies and sports studies."--

Liberating Hollywood examines the professional experiences and creative output of women filmmakers during a unique moment in history when the social justice movements that defined the 1960s and 1970s challenged the enduring culture of sexism and racism in the U.S. film industry. Throughout the 1970s feminist reform efforts resulted in a noticeable rise in the number of women directors, yet at the same time the institutionalized sexism of Hollywood continued to create obstacles to closing the gender gap. Maya Montañez Smukler reveals that during this era there were an estimated sixteen women making independent and studio films: Penny Allen, Karen Arthur, Anne Bancroft, Joan Darling, Lee Grant, Barbara Loden, Elaine May, Barbara Peeters, Joan Rivers, Stephanie Rothman, Beverly Sebastian, Joan Micklin Silver, Joan Tewkesbury, Jane Wagner, Nancy Walker, and Claudia Weill. Drawing on interviews conducted by the author, Liberating Hollywood is the first study of women directors within the intersection of second wave feminism, civil rights legislation, and Hollywood to investigate the remarkable careers of these filmmakers during one of the most mythologized periods in American film history.

"Cet ouvrage rassemble des études d'universitaires d'Afrique, d'Australie, d'Europe et des États-Unis portant sur les représentations des femmes d'Islam. Pour les femmes, les enjeux sont la prise de parole, la créativité, le passage à l'acte et la lutte pour construire un monde plus juste à partir d'une remise en question de la domination patriarcale. L'originalité de ce collectif tient à sa dimension véritablement comparatiste dans la mesure où les études portent autant sur des oeuvres cinématographiques, comme celles de Coline Serreau et de Yamina Benguigui, ou littéraires, telles que celles d'Assia Djebar, de Geneviève Chauvel ou d'Aminata Sow Fall, que sur des récits de vie tels que celui de Karima Berger ou des oeuvres artistiques telles que celles de Lalla Essaydi. Elle relève aussi de la diversité des approches sur les plans discursifs et théoriques. Peut-on être musulmane et féministe ? Peut-on concilier libération individuelle et spiritualité ? Les chercheurs composant cette publication n'hésitent pas à traiter des questions d'identité et de transmission, de religion et de militantisme, de parcours individuels et de luttes sociales dont le centre demeure les femmes d'Islam en tant que sujets et sources de pouvoir de transformation. Par son ouverture multidisciplinaire, l'étendue des questions qu'il explore, les nouvelles perspectives féministes qu'il présente et la profondeur de ses analyses, ce livre fera date dans les domaines francophones et les études sur les femmes en Islam."--Page 4 of cover

In the first extended study into the politics of whiteness inherent within postfeminist cinema, Kendra Marston interrogates representations of melancholic white femininity in contemporary Hollywood cinema, arguing that the 'melancholic white woman' serves as a vehicle through which to explore the excesses of late capitalism and a crisis of faith in the American dream. This figure may be idealised or scapegoated within these films, yet strategic performances of gendered melancholia may produce benefits for white female directors and stars disadvantaged within a patriarchal industry. Examining film genres including the tourist romance, the fantasy film and the psychological thriller, the book also contains case studies of films like 'The Virgin Suicides,' 'Blue Jasmine,' 'Gone Girl' and 'The Girl on the Train.'
