Women and Film: A Sight and Sound Reader - Culture And The Moving Image
Pam Cook
Brought together for the first time, these lively, sophisticated essays bring into focus contemporary debates regarding the representation of women in film and analyze women's practices as filmmakers and actors. Sight and Sound, the pioneering magazine of film criticism, has enlisted a distinguished group of cultural commentators?critics, scholars, novelists?to consider the roles of gender and sexuality in classic and recent cinema.
Like Sight and Sound itself, the essays in this book are international in scope and represent the newest perspectives in cultural theory and criticism in a readily accessible style. Challenging dominant myths and the status quo in the industry, these provocative writers consider a wide range of fascinating topics that define the boundaries of traditional cinema and explore unmapped territory.
Essays are generously illustrated with stills of films discussed, and each section contains a comprehensive bibliography and filmography.
