The Politics and Practices of Representation • T 3-5
Instructor: White
|
In the past decade women directors have emerged in the national film cultures from Bosnia to Tunisia as well as in transitional film circuits, challenging familiar narratives of oppression and liberation as well as globalizing assumptions about feminist politics and film art. This course looks at female authorship and feminist aesthetics, national culture and postcolonial critique, ethnography and human rights, diaspora and globalization, and film programming and criticism as discourses and practices that inform the current intersection of women's cinema and world cinema. Both concepts have a long lineage in cinema studies but have rarely been confronted together. Filmmakers include Chantal Akerman, Claire Denis, Samira Makmalbaf, Lucrecia Martel, Deepa Metha, and a number of less well-known directors from Latin America, North Africa and East Asia. |
