Gwendolyn Audrey Foster

4.9/5 (23131 ratings)

Description:Captive Bodies examines the film industry s fascination with bondage and captivity, seeking to revisualize American cinema through the lens of critical discourse on captivity narratives, slave narratives, and postcolonial critiques of cinematic constructions of whiteness, blackness, gender, and sexuality. Captivity is also examined here in relation to both those in front and behind the camera. Are we subject to others? Are we bound and captive in images? Are we captive bodies and captive audiences, held hostage to the spectacles of voyeuristic pleasure? Are those behind the camera involved in a process not unlike that of the slave system, enslaving the body in the image? To answer these and other questions, Captive Bodies draws upon a wide range of critical methodologies, including postcolonial studies, feminist film criticism, anthropology, and phenomenology."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
