"Evil women, who are they really? What are their motives, and how are they remembered and constructed within our culture? Evil Women: Representations within Literature, Culture and Film seeks to interrogate the nature and construction of evil women in the above fields. Through literature, poetry, history, ballads, film and real-life culture, scholars explore how the evil woman has been constructed and, in some cases, erased; the punishment and treatment of evil women; and the way evil women have been portrayed on and off screen through character, narrative and behind the camera development"--

"Feminist film theory is the theoretical exploration and investigation of the position of the woman within film culture. In the general atmosphere of the women's movement of the late 1960s-early 1970s, the presence of a feminist sensibility exuded into the academia with the progression of film studies as a proper discipline of study. Feminist film theory concerned itself primarily with analyzing and interrogating the image and place of women in film, exposing their discriminated position as well as the myths that circulated through the pervasive images on the big screen, and progressively started interrogating women's subjectivity, desire, and gaze as well as their multifaceted contribution to film culture as directors, editors, designers, producers, and so on. It also progressively became more inclusive and attentive to the intersectionality of sex, race, and class. This entry is organized in a chronological and subject matter order by giving a trajectory of the research/interrogation questions that have invariably interested feminist film theory since the 1970s up until now"--

Winner of the 2015 Bonnie Ritter Book Award from the National Communication Association As an omnipresent figure of the media landscape, girls are spectacles. They are ubiquitous visual objects on display at which we are incessantly invited to look. Investigating our cultural obsession with both everyday and high-profile celebrity girls, Sarah Projanskyuses a queer, anti-racist feminist approach to explore the diversity of girlhoods in contemporary popular culture.The book addresses two key themes: simultaneous adoration and disdain for girls and the pervasiveness of whiteness and heteronormativity. While acknowledging this context, Projansky pushes past the dichotomy of the “can-do” girl who has the world at her feet and the troubled girl who needs protection and regulation to focus on the variety of alternative figures who appear in media culture, including queer girls, girls of color, feminist girls, active girls, and sexual girls, all of whom are present if we choose to look for them.Drawing on examples across film, television, mass-market magazines and newspapers, live sports TV, and the Internet, Projansky combines empirical analysis with careful, creative, feminist analysis intent on centering alternative girls. She undermines the pervasive “moral panic” argument that blames media itself for putting girls at risk by engaging multiple methodologies, including, for example, an ethnographic study of young girls who themselves critique media. Arguing that feminist media studies needs to understand the spectacularization of girlhood more fully, she places active, alternative girlhoods right in the heart of popular media culture.
