Documenting Gendered Violence: Representations, Collaborations, and Movements

Editat de Lisa M. Cuklanz, Heather McIntosh
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 apr 2015
Documenting Gendered Violence explores the intersections of documentary and gendered violence. Several contributors investigate representations through grounded textual analyses of key films and videos, including Sex Crimes Unit (2011) and The Invisible War (2012),and other documentary texts including Youtube, photographs, and theater. Other chapters use analysis and interviews to explore how gender violence issues impact production and how these documentaries become part of collaborations and awareness movements.

Recenzii

Concentrating on gender and violence as documentary themes, Documenting Gendered Violence surveys current critical and scholarly positions on a vital area of contemporary media and, at the same time, provides timely analysis of an urgent socio-cultural problem. The interdisciplinary breadth of approaches represented by the cumulative authorship and international range of topics collected here make this book unique and valuable to anyone interested in contemporary documentary film and media, the traditions of feminist documentary, feminist media studies, and the legal, historical, therapeutic and aesthetic discourses of witnessing and testifying.
Documenting Gendered Violence is a major contribution to both documentary studies and feminist studies of gender and violence. In bringing together these two areas, this timely - and politically urgent - collection of essays focuses much needed scholarly attention on global documentary productions dealing with gendered violence. Exploring a rich and varied number of documentary texts from around the world, and employing a range of critical approaches, Documenting Gendered Violence raises crucial questions about the possibilities of documentary form and practice. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the socially committed documentary and a stake in the struggle against gender-based violence.
An important and engaging collection. The contributions examine not only the representation of violence in documentary films, but also the way documentary films might intervene into these representations, exploring an under-theorized area of both violence and documentary scholarship.
