The new avengers : feminism, femininity and the rape-revenge cycle / Jacinda Read Manchester, UK: Manchester University, 2000.
Call No: 626:396 REAAuthor: Read, Jacinda Source: UKPlace: Manchester, UKPublisher: Manchester UniversityPubDate: 2000PhysDes: 290 p; 22 cmSeries: Inside Popular FilmSubject: FEMINISM AND THE CINEMA ; FEMINISM AND TV ; CRIME IN FILMS ; SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY (US, Joesph Ruben, 1991) ; WESTERNS ; SPECTATORSHIP Summary: In this, the first full-length study of the rape-revenge film, Jacinda Read suggests that the rape-revenge cycle can be read as one of the primary ways in which Hollywood has attempted to make sense of feminism and the changing shape of heterosexual femininity in the post-1970 period. Arguing that rape-revenge is better understood not as a genre, but as a narrative structure, the author analyses the ways in which various deployments of this structure rework the ‘mass cultural fictions of femininity’ inscribed in the genres over which they have been mapped.

With reference to thinkers such as Aristotle, Wittgenstein, Girard, Derrida and Cavell, it argues that Renoir's work engages with and elucidates some of the great philosophical questions. In particular the films are shown to reflect on the natures of murder and its links with desire, communitiy, ethics and the mystery of other minds." - TAKEN FROM BACK COVERISBN: 9781905674633Donation: donated by Senses of Cinema, 2012Contents: Film as philosophy: Cavell, Deleuze, Z iz ek and Renoir -- Scepticism and the mystery of other minds: La chienne -- Murderous desires: Le crime de Monsieur Lange and La be^te humaine -- Friendship, fraternity and community: La grande illusion -- Making and breaking rules: La re`gle du jeu -- Conclusion: intimations of otherness.
