This anthology brings together the key statements from the main
debates in feminist film theory in Britain and the United States
since 1970. The book maps the impact of major theoretical
developments - structuralist and semiotic theory; psychoanalysis;
theories of ideology, language and discourse - on this growing
field, in terms of both theoretical shifts and changes in
methodologies. The relationship of feminist film theory to feminist
media and cultural studies is outlined, as is the relationship
between developments in feminist film theory and feminist film
making. Includes readings from Laura Mulvey, Jacqueline Rose, Mary
Ann Doane, Tania Modleski, Annette Kuhn, Jackie Stacey, Elizabeth
Cowey, Linda Williams, bell hooks, Teresa de Lauretis. For the past
twenty-five years, cinema has been a vital terrain on which
feminist debates about culture, representation and identity have
been fought. This anthology seeks to chart the history of those
debates, bringing together the key statements in feminist film
theory in Britain and the United States since 1970. The book maps
the impact of major theoretical developments in this growing field
- from structuralism and psychoanalysis to post-colonial theory,
queer theory and postmodernism in the 1990s - interms of both
theoretical shifts and changes in methodologies. Organised into six
sections, the readings deal with a wide range of topics: oppressive
images; "woman" as fetishised object of desire; female
spectatorship; film audiences; issues of fantasy and desire in
popular film; and the cinematic pleasures of black women and
lesbian women. The centrality of a feminist "politics of vision"
unites all the readings in this book. Key Features *Divided into
