Dear All,
We hope (!) that our new publication International Cinema and the Girl:Local Issues, Transnational Contexts will be of interest to several members of this list!
From Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz to Bella Swan in Twilight , the girl has been a subject of intense cinematic interest. This collection considers the specificity of girls' experiences and their cinematic articulation through a multicultural feminist lens which cuts across the divides of popular/art-house, Western/non Western, and north/south.
