Customer Reviews

A particularly comprehensive study of representation

De Lauretis's book is one of the most influential in the field of feminist film theory. An incredibly comprehensive study, it engages deeply notions of desire, fantasy, and identification. It is useful as both a theoretical and a political text, weaving a personal struggle with feminism and film practice throughout her semiotic analysis of the process of film.
