This book marks a return for Laura Mulvey to questions of film
theory and feminism, as well as a reconsideration of new and old
film technologies. Its title, Afterimages, alludes to the
dislocation of time that runs through many of the films and works
in this book, and the way we view them. Structured in three main
parts the book begins with a section on the theme of woman as
spectacle. Part Two focuses on films drawn from different parts of
the world, directed by women and about women, and all adopting
radical cinematic strategies. In Part Three Mulvey considers moving
image works made for art galleries and argues that the aesthetics
of cinema have persisted into this environment. Afterimages also
features an appendix of ten frequently asked questions on her
classic feminist essay Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, in
which Mulvey addresses questions of spectatorship crucial to our
era of #MeToo. An urgent and compelling book for anyone interested
in the power and pleasures of moving images.
