{"product_id":"9780802079640","title":"Gendering the Nation: Canadian Women's Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince Nell Shipman wrote and starred in \u003cem\u003eBack to God's Country\u003c\/em\u003e (1919), Canadian women have been making films. The accolades given to film-makers such as Patricia Rozema (\u003cem\u003eI've Heard the Mermaids Singing\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWhen Night is Falling\u003c\/em\u003e), Alanis Obomsawin (Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance), and Micheline Lanctôt (\u003cem\u003eDeux actrices\u003c\/em\u003e) at festivals throughout the world in recent years attest to the growing international recognition for films made by Canadian women. With \u003cem\u003eGendering the Nation\u003c\/em\u003e the editors have produced a definitive collection of essays, both original and previously published, that address the impact and influence of a century of women's film-making in Canada. In dialogue with new paradigms for understanding the relationship of cinema with nation and gender, \u003cem\u003eGendering the Nation\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to situate women's cinema through the complex optic of national culture. This collection of critical essays employs a variety of frameworks to analyse cinematic practices that range from narrative to documentary to the avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030159868144,"sku":"9780802079640","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802079640_p0.jpg?v=1763667819","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802079640","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
