FEMINIST FILM THEORISTS
Since it began in the 1970s, feminist film theory has revolutionized the
way that films and their spectators can be understood. This book
focuses on the groundbreaking work of Laura Mulvey, Kaja Silverman,
Teresa de Lauretis, and Barbara Creed. Each of these thinkers has
opened up a new and distinctive approach to the study of film and this
book provides the most detailed account so far of their ideas. It illu-
minates the following six key concepts and demonstrates their value
as tools for film analysis:
• the male gaze
• the female voice
• technologies of gender
• queering desire
• the monstrous-feminine
• masculinity in crisis
Shohini Chaudhuri shows how these four thinkers construct their theo-
ries through their reading of films as well as testing their ideas with a
number of other examples from contemporary cinema and television.
She concludes that the concepts have not remained static over the past
thirty years but have continually evolved with the influence of new
critical debates and developments in film production, signalling their
continuing impact and relevance in an era that is often unthinkingly
branded as ‘post-feminist’.
Shohini Chaudhuri is Lecturer in Contemporary Writing and Film
at the University of Essex. Her articles have appeared in Screen , Camera
Obscura , and Strategies: Journal of Theory, Culture and Politics . She has
recently published a book called Contemporary World Cinema: Europe, the
Middle East, East Asia and South Asia (2005).
