This remarkable collection uses genre as a fresh way to analyze the
issues of gender representation in film theory, film production,
spectatorship, and the contexts of reception. With a uniquely
global perspective, these essays examine the intersection of gender
and genre in not only Hollywood films but also in independent,
European, Indian, and Hong Kong cinemas. Working in the area of
postcolonial cinema, contributors raise issues dealing with
indigenous and global cinemas and argue that contemporary genres
have shifted considerably as both notions of gender and forms of
genre have changed. The volume addresses topics such as the history
of feminist approaches to the study of genre in film, issues of
female agency in postmodernity, changes taking place in supposedly
male-dominated genres, concepts of genre and its use of gender in
global cinema, and the relationship between gender and sexuality in
film. Contributors are Ira Bhaskar, Steven Cohan, Luke Collins, Pam
Cook, Lucy Fischer, Jane Gaines, Christine Gledhill, Derek
Kane-Meddock, E. Ann Kaplan, Samiha Matin, Katie Model, E. Deidre
Pribram, Vicente Rodriguez Ortega, Adam Segal, Chris Straayer,
Yvonne Tasker, Deborah Thomas, and Xiangyang Chen.
