Indiscretions follows the path of U.S. avant-garde film and
video from the underground of the 1960s to the academy of the
1980s. Patricia Mellencamp traces and charts the intersections of
Lacanian psychoanalysis and the desiring male subject, Roland
Barthes and texts of pleasure, Michel Foucault and the disciplinary
society, the grotesque body and Mikhail Bakhtin, the rhizomatic
alogic of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and the female subject
of feminist film theory. She creates a dialogue among theory and
popular culture and politics through inventive readings of the
films of Owen Land, Hollis Frampton, Ken Jacobs, Bruce Conner,
Robert Nelson, Michael Snow, Yvonne Rainer, and Sally Potter, and
videotapes by Ant Farm, TVTV, Michael Smith, William Wegman, and
Cecelia Condit.
