Ambivalence, stasis, horror, cringe—these and other affects refuse the resolution of feeling good or bad, leaving viewers questioning and disoriented. In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFeminism and the Cinema of Experience\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Lori Jo Marso examines how filmmakers scramble our senses to open up space for encountering and examining the political conditions of patriarchy, racism, and existential anxiety. Building on Akerman’s cinematic lexicon and Simone de Beauvoir’s phenomenological attention to the lives of girls and women, Marso analyzes film and television by directors ranging from Akerman, Gerwig, Mati Diop, Catherine Breillat, and Joey Soloway to Emerald Fennell, Michaela Coel, Audrey Diwan, Alice Diop, and Julia Ducournau. Through their innovative and intentional uses of camera, sound, editing, and new forms of narrative, these directors use discomfort in order to invite viewers to feel like feminists and to sense the possibility of freedom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42593331642416,"sku":null,"price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3898\/7312\/files\/CR_35.jpg?v=1764364276","url":"https:\/\/casa-riel.com\/en\/products\/feminism-and-the-cinema-of-experience","provider":"Casa Riel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
