'Genre, Authorship and Contemporary Women Filmmakers' examines the
significance of women’s contribution to genre cinema by
highlighting the work of US filmmakers within and outside Hollywood
– Kathryn Bigelow, Sofia Coppola, Nancy Meyers and Kelly
Reichardt, among others. Exploring genres as diverse as horror, the
war movie, the Western, the costume biopic and the romantic comedy,
Katarzyna Paszkiewicz interrogates questions of `genre’
authorship; the blurring of the borders between commercial and
independent cinema and gendered discourses of (de)authorisation
that operate within each sphere; `male’–`female’ genre
divisions; and the issue of authorial subversion in film and
popular culture in a wider sense. With its focus on close analysis
of the films themselves and the cultural and ideological meanings
involved in the reception of genre texts authored by women, this
book expands critical debates around women’s cinema and offers
new perspectives on how contemporary filmmakers explore the
aesthetic and imaginative power of genre.
