From the publisher

Preface by Jean-Michel Rabaté, Introduction by Marcelline Block, Includes bibliographical references and index.

First line

from preface: Why is film theory so organically connected with psychoanalysis? Can this be attributed to Jacques Lacan’s lasting impact on late twentieth century culture, or to intelligent adaptations of his theories of the eye, the gaze and the screen by notable theoreticians like Laura Mulvey, Joan Copjec and Slavoj Žižek? from introduction: Situating the Feminist Gaze and Spectatorship in Postwar Cinema examines films made in the United States, Europe and Russia. Contributors to this volume engage with and readdress classic tenets of feminist film theory. Several chapters explore its interaction with other critical perspectives such as psychoanalytic, queer, disability, postfeminist, quantum, trauma and chaos theories.
