Abstract:

With the development of the feminist movement and the concept of feminist cinema, feminist cinema has continued to develop. In recent years, feminist films have received widespread attention, but how to embody feminism from the male perspective in the male-dominated film industry has long been a hotly debated issue. This paper analyses the Korean realist director Lee Chang-dongs film Poetry, combines Foucaults theory of panoramic gaze, analyses the symbolic language in the film, and compares it with the works of other similar directors, aiming to discover the diversity of the presentation of f

Abstract:

Feminism is a social theory and political movement created and initiated to end sexism, sexual exploitation, discrimination, oppression and to promote equality for the sexual class, focusing on the analysis of gender inequality and the promotion of the rights, interests, and issues of the sexual underclass in addition to the critique of social relations. Feminist film theory grew out of the feminist movement, critiquing the stereotypical images of women portrayed in the classic cinema while also exploring how to reproduce female subjectivity and desire in film.

Abstract:

Given that the use of Dalit feminist theory in Bollywood films is a relatively new area of study, an article on this topic may have significant implications for both academics and the Indian film industry. Growing the intersectionality dialogue: Intersectionality, which recognises how many forms of oppression, such as caste, gender, class, and race, interact and have an impact on people's lives, is a central concept in feminist theory. By utilising Dalit feminist theory in Bollywood films, it may be possible to better understand caste and gender intersections in the Indian setting and how they

Abstract:

Varda’s most overtly feminist film, One Sings, the Other Doesn’t follows the friendship of two very different women over the course of two decades. This paper is going to analyze the narrative structure of the film from the perspective of feminism, applying Beauvoir’s feminist theory and Shendan’s theory of “implicit process” to the characters of Pauline and Suzanne; Meanwhile, the paper is going to relate the film to the background of Varda’s creation with the analysis of Varda’s creation of women. As a feminist, Varda’s protests are never silent. The “hidden process” that exists underneath t

Abstract:

Psychoanalytic feminism is a theory of oppression which asserts that men have an inherent psychological need to subjugate women. The root of men’s compulsion to dominate women and women’s minimal resistance to subjugation lies deep within the human psyche. Indian film industry has been phallocentric depicting mainly male dominated narrative structure whereas women are reduced to marginalized roles only to glamorize the hero-centric set up. These films rarely portray women and their isolated worlds because this subject would be a commercial set back preventing audiences from hitting the theatre

Abstract:

This research aims to analyze how Anastasia portrays themes of liberal feminism and individualism. It investigates how the protagonist’s journey embodies feminist ideals of self-discovery, resilience, and the defiance of gender expectations. Grounded in liberal feminist theory, which emphasizes personal autonomy and equality before the law (McMillan, 2009); this study employs qualitative descriptive methods to explore how Anastasia’s narrative reflects these principles. Themes such as identity formation, gender norms, and personal agency are analyzed through the protagonist’s experiences. The

Abstract:

This study is concerned with the development of a field of film theory around the place of the female spectator. Chapter 1 presents an historical overview of some trends in the development of film theory, with emphasis on the emergence of a paradigm in which theories of semiotics, ideology and psychoanalysis intersect. It critically assesses the establishment of a dominant theory founded in the notion of film as art, proposing certain parallels between this and contemporary Leavisite literary theory, and notes auteurism as the point of departure from this into the consideration of film as popu

Abstract:

This thesis offers an analysis of women in horror film through an in depth exploration of what I term ‘gynaehorror’ – horror films that are concerned with female sex, sexuality and reproduction. While this is a broad and fruitful area of study, work in it has been shaped by a pronounced emphasis upon psychoanalytic theory, which I argue has limited the field of inquiry. To challenge this, this thesis achieves three things. Firstly, I interrogate a subgenre of horror that has not been studied in depth for twenty years, but that is experiencing renewed interest. Secondly, I analyse aspects of th

Abstract:

What is at stake for female fans and followers of horror cinema? This study explores the pleasures in horror film viewing for female members of the audience. The findings presented here confirm that female viewers of horror do not refuse to look but actively enjoy horror films and read such films in feminine ways. Part 1 of this thesis suggests that questions about the female viewer and her consumption of the horror film cannot be answered solely by a consideration of the text-reader relationship or by theoretical models of spectatorship and identification.

In 1993, Nigerians elected M.K.O. Abiola as president in a historic vote that promised to end years of military dictatorship. Shortly after the election, there was a military coup. General Sani Abacha seized power and had Abiola arrested and jailed. While Abiola was in prison, his wife, Kudirat Abiola, took over leadership of the pro-democracy movement. She was assassi

Bringing together the idea of nomadism and the spatial practices of dwelling can provide new questions and conceptualizations, where architectural thinking can be reproduced in motion.
