Framed – Women in Law and Film de Orit Kamir

Framed – Women in Law and Film

Autor Orit Kamir
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 ian 2006
Some women attack and harm men who abuse them. Social norms, law, and films all participate in framing these occurrences. This title shows that in representing "gender crimes," feature films have constructed a cinematic jurisprudence, training audiences worldwide in patterns of judgment of women (and men) in such situations.

Recenzii

"Framed is groundbreaking. It pushes law-and-film scholarship forward in significant ways. The question at its core is not how various groups are represented but rather the more difficult one of how we as legal or cinematic audiences are led to judge these groups. Orit Kamir doesn't simply 'do' an analysis of a group of films. Rather, she uses a set of films as a vehicle to explore the mechanisms of judgment." Rebecca Johnson, author of Taxing Choices: The Intersection of Class, Gender, Parenthood, and the Law "In this fascinating book, Orit Kamir displays an original method for reading law and film that illuminates both a remarkable set of films from around the world and many of our deepest assumptions about law. All this is done from a powerful feministic perspective. I know nothing like it." James Boyd White, author of The Edge of Meaning
