Download or read book Femmes Fatales written by Mary Ann Doane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work of feminist film criticism, Mary Ann Doane examines questions of sexual difference and knowledge in cinematic, theoretical, and psychoanalytic discourses. "Femmes Fatales" examines Freud, the female spectator, the meaning of the close-up, and the nature of stardom. Doane's analyses of such figures as Pabst's Lulu and Rita Hayworth's Gilda trace the thematics and mechanics of maskes, masquerade, and veiling, with specific attention to the form and technology of the cinema. Working through and against the intellectual frameworks of post-structuralist and psychoanalytic theory, Doane interrogates cinematic and theoretical claims to truth about women which rely on judgements about vision and its stability or instability. Reflecting the shift in conceptual priorities within feminist film theory over the last decade, "Femmes Fatales" addresses debates over female spectatorhsip, essentialism and anti-essentialism, the tensions between psychoanalysis and history, and the relations between racial and sexual difference. Doane's nuanced and original readings of the "femme fatale" in cinema illustrate confrontations between feminism, film theory and psychoanalysis. This book should be of interest to students and lecturers in women's studies, communications studies and film theory.

Book excerpt: Alluring and rich, Lalla Essaydi's work plays with the representation of Islam and the Orient in the West. Her work reaches far beyond Islamic culture to invoke the Western fascination with the veil and the harem as expressed in 19th-century Orientalist painting which suggested exoticism, fantasy and mysticism were abound in Arab culture. In an act of reclamation, Essayadi re-uses this visual language - the exquisite architecture, the interior decor, the clothing - to turn both the visualisation of women and of Islam in a different direction.

Download or read book Rania Matar L Enfant Femme written by Lois Lowry and published by Damiani Limited. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world of endless photographing, tagging, and posting images online, what is a preteen girl's relationship to the camera? Upending assumptions of contemporary digital image-making practices, photographer Rania Matar reframes these young women through her poignant portraits of them, revealing in 'L'Enfant-Femme' how girls between the ages of 8 and 12 interact with the camera and in so doing depicts them in deeply personal and poetic ways. Addressing themes of representation, voyeurism, and transgression, Matar's images remind us of the fragility of yough while also gesturing towards its unbridled curiosity and joy. Candidly capturing her subjects at a critical juncture in the early stages of adolescence, Matar's images convey the confluence of angst, sexuality, and personhood that defines the progression from childhood into adulthood.

Download or read book Salon Des Femmes written by Gary M. Douglas and published by Access Consciousness Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-09 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you lived in a world where everybody was kind to each other? What if you were the one who could assist in creating that?What if you had a relationship that was loving, caring, and receiving--and not unaware, not hating, and not judging?Gary Douglas is on a mission to end the perpetual conflict between men and women. Salon des Femmes is based on a series of teleclasses Douglas held with a group of women. They discussed men, sex, relationships, men's and women's roles, and creating amazing, harmonious relationships. It blends the ground-breaking Access Consciousness® tools and processes, insightful revelations and heart-warming inspiration. Says Douglas: "My desire is to give women in the world a greater sense of peace with others and peace with self and the place where they wouldn't feel like they have to fight for everything they are getting."Douglas encourages women to become "pragmatists of femininity," applying their feminine power to create what they want. A "pragmatic relationship" is where partners strive to make things work for everyone involved, he says. "Happily ever after doesn't occur unless you are willing to become pragmatic about your choices.""Salon des Femmes is a profound book. If it's read with care, it will change women's lives in really big ways."

This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rise and Fall of the Femme Fatale: From Gothic Ghosts to Victorian Vamps explores the femme fatale’s careerin nineteenth-century British literature. It traces her evolution—and devolution—formally, historically, and ideologically through a selection of plays, poems, novels, and personal correspondence. Considering well-known fatal women alongside more obscure ones, The Rise and Fall of the Femme Fatale sheds new light on emerging notions of gender, sexuality, and power throughout the long nineteenth century. By placing the fatal woman in a still developing literary and cultural narrative, this study examines how the femme fatale adapts over time, reflecting popular tastes and socio-economic landscapes.
