{"product_id":"9780230275690","title":"Film and Female Consciousness: Irigaray, Cinema and Thinking Women","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFilm and Female Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e looks at a group of films which offer new and original representations of women's interiority and individuality: \u003ci\u003eIn the Cut\u003c\/i\u003e (2003), \u003ci\u003eLost in Translation\u003c\/i\u003e (2003), and \u003ci\u003eMorvern Callar\u003c\/i\u003e (2002). Lucy Bolton compares these films with those which offer more standard — albeit provocative and interesting — treatments of female subjectivity: \u003ci\u003eKlute\u003c\/i\u003e (1971), \u003ci\u003eThe Seven Year Itch\u003c\/i\u003e (1955), and \u003ci\u003eMarnie\u003c\/i\u003e (1964). Considering each of the older, well-known films alongside the recent, experimental films illustrates how contemporary filmmaking techniques and critical practices can work together to create complex and provocative depictions of on-screen female consciousness. Drawing on the philosophy of Luce Irigaray in relation to women's cultivation of self-knowledge, this book examines each female character as she goes through a process of transition or transformation. This approach demonstrates how participating in the encounter between Luce Irigaray and cinema can yield greater understanding of both fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017731358960,"sku":"9780230275690","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780230275690_p0.jpg?v=1763675864","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780230275690","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
