Feminism, Theory, Film: Critical Intersections in the Practice and Theorization of Experimental Filmmaking since the 1970s
Edited by Sonja Boos (†)
The latest issue of the interdisciplinary journal Konturen (housed in the Department of German & Scandinavian at the University of Oregon) presents a close look into how feminist cinema from the 1970s to the present has established itself as an alternative to mainstream filmmaking through innovative and creative use of new media technologies and approaches to visual narrative. Reaching across different genres and traditions, this special issue treats the porosity of borders separating cinematic and other visual practices and theory, the typecasting of actresses and political quietism, and the staging of emotional uncertainty and the culture of commodification surrounding it.
We invite you to have a look, read, reflect, and enjoy!
