The dimensions of difference : space, time and bodies in women's cinema and continental philosophy / Caroline Godart London ; New York: Rowman & Littlefield International,
Call No: 626[396] GODAuthor: Godart, Caroline Edition: 2016Place: London ; New YorkPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield InternationalPhysDes: xv, 138 pagesSubject: PIANO, THE (AT, Jane Campion, 1993) ; BEAU TRAVAIL [TROUBLE EVERY DAY] (FR/GG/JA, Claire Denis, 1999) ; HOLY GIRL, THE [NINA SANTA, LA] (AG/IT/NE/SP, Lucrecia Martel, 2004) Summary: The Dimensions of Difference departs from traditional takes on feminist film criticism, and in particular from the psychoanalytical focus on the gaze, to examine the question of sexual difference through three axes: space, time, and bodies. These are some of the most fundamental elements of cinema, which deploys the bodies of actors through space and time, for instance, through camerawork and editing.
While this approach may not at first sight seem to be related to questions of gender and sexuality, Caroline Godart demonstrates its relevance to feminist film studies by weaving together careful analyses of space, time, and bodies in women's cinema with close readings of the same concepts in the works of three philosophers: Luce Irigaray, Henri Bergson, and Gilles Deleuze. The book investigates how certain films generate a cinematic experience of sexual difference, and frames this analysis within a careful philosophical inquiry into the notion of alterity itself. These tools provide fruitful resources for feminist inquiry, giving insights into sexual difference as it operates within film aesthetics and, beyond cinema, in the world at large. The result is a compelling reflection on feminism, film form, and continental philosophy. -- publisher's web siteNotes: Signed and dedicated on the first pageISBN: 9781783486557Contents: Introduction -- 1.

Her films, including 'Chocolat', 'Beau travail' and 'White Material' explore connections between national experience and individual circumstance, visualising the complications of such dualities. Following a foreword by Wim Wenders, international contributors explore the themes she addresses in her films, such as kinship and landscape, neo-colonialism and New French Extremity. Original interviews with an editor, actor and two composers familiar with Denis's working style and with Denis herself, also reveal fresh facets of this intrepid filmmaker." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes list of illustrations, bibliographic references and indexISBN: 9781848859548Contents: --List of illustrations -- Notes on contributors -- Preface -- Foreword: 'Klarchen'

Examining a new movement – termed by Creed as Feminist New Wave Cinema – The Return of the Monstrous-Feminine explores a significant change that has occurred over the past two decades in the representation of the monstrous-feminine in visual discourse. The Monstrous-Feminine is a figure in revolt on a journey through the dark night of abjection. Taking particular interest in women directors who create the figure of the Monstrous-Feminine, in cinema that foregrounds everyday horrors in addition to classic horror, Creed looks at a range of diverse films including The Babadook, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Nomadland, Carol, Raw, Revenge, and the television series The Handmaid’s Tale. These films center on different forms of revolt, from inner revolt to social, supernatural and violent revolt, which appear in Feminist New Wave Cinema. These relate in the main to the emergence of a range of social protest movements that have gathered momentum in the new millennium and given voice to new theoretical and critical discourses. These include: third and fourth wave feminism, the #MeToo movement, queer theory, race theory, the critique of anthropocentrism and human animal theory. These theoretical discourses have played a key role in influencing Feminist New Wave Cinema whose films are distinctive, stylish and diverse.
This is an essential companion to the original classic text and is ideal for students in Gender and Media, Gender and Horror, Gender and Film and Feminist Film theory courses. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780367478162Contents: Introduction: The Monstrous-Feminine In Feminist New Wave Cinema -- The Monstrous Mother As Magician: The Babadook -- Unwomen: Dare To Revolt – The Handmaid’s Tale, Film & Tv Series -- #Metoo: Rape & Revolt: Promising Young Woman, Revenge, The Nightingale. -- The Monstrous-Feminine Forgets Her Manners: Nomadland, Carol, The Assistant -- Vampires, Feminism & Ethnicity: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night -- The Monstrous-Feminine As Femme Fatale, Alien & Black: Under The Skin -- Queering The Monstrous-Feminine: Jennifer’s Body, The Lure, Thelma -- Female Cannibalism & Eating The Other: Raw, Trouble Everyday, In My Skin -- Furiosa: Eco-Horror & The Woman Warrior: Spoor, Woman At War, Mad Max: Fury Road – Filmography -- Index
