Opis

The Sexual Subject brings together writing on sexuality which has appeared in Screen over the past two decades. It reflects the journal's continuing engagement with questions of sexuality and signification in the cinema, an engagement which has had a profound influence on the development of the academic study of film and on alternative film and video. The collection opens with Laura Mulvey's classic Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema with its conjunction of semiotics and psychoanalysis, the critical approach which is most closely associated with Screen's rise to international prominence. The reader then goes on to explore the particular questions and debates which that conjunction provoked: arguments around pornography and the representation of the body; questions of the representation of femininity and masculinity, of the female spectator, and of the social subject.
