"Feminist Film Theory . . .collects many of the most important
contributions to feminist debates about film on both sides of the
Atlantic into a well-organized anthology . . ."
"Resources for Feminist Research"
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 charts the history of
those debates, bringing together the key, classic essays in
feminist film theory. "Feminist Film Theory" maps the impact of
major theoretical developments on this growing field-from
structuralism and psychoanalysis in the 1970s, to post-colonial
theory, queer theory, and postmodernism in the 1990s.
Covering a wide range of topics, including oppressive images,
"woman" as fetishized object of desire, female spectatorship, and
the cinematic pleasures of black women and lesbian women, "Feminist
Film Theory" is an indispensable reference for scholars and
students in the field.
Contributors include Judith Butler, Carol J. Clover, Barbara
Creed, Michelle Citron, Mary Ann Doane, Teresa De Lauretis, Jane
Gaines, Christine Gledhill, Molly Haskell, bell hooks, Claire
Johnston, Annette Kuhn, Julia Lesage, Judith Mayne, Tania Modleski,
Laura Mulvey, B. Ruby Rich, Kaja Silverman, Sharon Smith, Jackie
Stacey, Janet Staiger, Anna Marie Taylor, Valerie Walkerdine, and
Linda Williams.
