Opis

In her book, Kaja Silverman sets out to offer a bold new look at some masculinities which deviate from the social norm. Male Subjectivity at the Margins reads male film-makers, novelists and literary cinematic characters who position themselves more as women than as men and in so doing surrender male power and privilege.
