DISORDERLY DAMES/GOOD LITTLE GIRLS: WOMEN IN FILM
The issues raised by the successive waves of feminism have created new contexts through which to understand the changing roles of men, women, pangendered or third-gendered in society. And, since the 1990’s, women—young and old--have assumed new visibility in western culture. Through the examination of selected films, we will examine current issues in narrative structure and the female subject and object in film. Some themes for discussion will be: the female gaze; post-feminism and the third wave; #Me too; girls of color. No prerequisites. Offered upon rotation with other film courses.
