But what are the feminist implications of the material object underlying that image, the filmstrip itself? What does feminist analysis have to offer in understanding the film image before it enters the realm of representation?\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eGirl Head\u003c\/i\u003e explores how gender and sexual difference have been deeply embedded within film materiality. In rich archival and technical detail, Yue examines three sites of technical film production: the film laboratory, editing practices, and the film archive. Within each site, she locates a common motif, the vanishing female body, which is transformed into material to be used in the making of a film. The book develops a theory of gender and film materiality through readings of narrative film, early cinema, experimental film, and moving image art.\u003cbr\u003e This original work of feminist media history shows how gender has had a persistent role in film production processes, well before the image ever appears onscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Plates and Figures\u003c\/i\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: The Body of Medusa   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e China Girls in the Film Laboratory   33\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e Gone Girls of Escamontage   73\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e Gradivan Footsteps in the Film Archive   102\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAfterword\u003c\/b\u003e   129\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e   133\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e   135\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography\u003c\/i\u003e   165\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e   181\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eColor plates follow page 84\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580426121496,"sku":"9780823289554","price":69.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/girl-head-feminism-and-film-materiality-hardback-9780823289554","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
