Recenzii
Cupboards of Curiosity is an enormously significant and important study. Amelie Hasties reevaluations of female authorship are brilliant, and her approach to the archive encourages just the kind of rethinking of established ideas that one associates with the very best kind of academic work.Judith Mayne, author of Framed: Lesbians, Feminists, and Media CultureIn Amelie Hasties meditative and original book, the era of silent film speaks through the writings and collections of the women who made the moviesstars, directors, writerssome forgotten, most remembered for their images, not their words. Hastie models her approach to writing and theorizing film history on the novel ways her subjects themselves made history: loving attention to the fleeting and the fragmentary illuminates theories of female agency within mass-mediated modernity.Patricia White, author of Uninvited: Classical Hollywood Cinema and Lesbian RepresentabilityIn this illuminating and original study, Amelie Hastie examines the writing of film history. Cupboards of Curiosity focuses on how Colleen Moore, Louise Brooks and Alice Guy-Blaché produced their own histories of early cinema, and also on their place in those histories, through different forms of recollection. Hastie builds a study of historiography around these engaging case studies, exploring the various traces that have been left and the different methods that have been used to reconstruct the past. Rather than offering a revised historical narrative, the book uncovers disparate voices and different approaches that have investigated and reconstructed cinema history. What emerges is a wider perspective on the ways in which the women who helped to shape the history of cinema also participated in the writing and interpretation of that history...Hastie demonstrates the value of exploring expanded boundaries of film history and film culture... Hastie offers a model for interpretive and theoretical approaches to such writing, focusing on the relation of life writing to female authorship and the ways in which the place of women in film history has been constructed and reconstructed... it is an approach that is eager to explore the often fragmentary quality of cultural and cinematic history...This is a productive model for further study...Hastie's book is a substantial contribution to this study, both in the material it chooses to examine and in its elaboration of an expanded field of historical material. Moreover, Cupboards of Curiosity also points to an expansion of what might be examined with students in the teaching of these subjects." Kristian Moen, Screen 2008, issue 49

"In Amelie Hastie's meditative and original book, the era of silent film speaks through the writings and collections of the women who made the movies--stars, directors, writers--some forgotten, most remembered for their images, not their words. Hastie models her approach to writing and theorizing film history on the novel ways her subjects themselves made history: loving attention to the fleeting and the fragmentary illuminates theories of female agency within mass-mediated modernity."--Patricia White, author of "Uninvited: Classical Hollywood Cinema and Lesbian Representability "
