Focusing on the ground-breaking work of Laura Mulvey, Kaja
Silverman, Teresa de Lauretis and Barbara Creed, this book explores
how, since it began in the 1970s, feminist film theory has
revolutionized the way that films and their spectators can be
understood. Examining the new and distinctive approaches of each of
these thinkers, this book provides the most detailed account so far
of their ideas. It illuminates the six key concepts and
demonstrates their value as tools for film analysis: the male gaze;
the female voice; technologies of gender; queering desire; the
monstrous-feminine; and masculinity in crisis. Testing their ideas
with a number of other examples from contemporary cinema and TV,
Shohini Chaudhuri shows how these four thinkers construct their
theories through their reading of films. This is an excellent study
companion for all students of film theory and women's studies.
