Found an interesting essay at www.pleasantfluff.com that looks at films such as The Descent and Ginger Snaps, discussing how these films relate to ideas about the monstrous-feminine. The author, Aiyesha McInerney, references the work of Barbara Creed and Carol Clover, and notes how these two theorists' work is indebted to Mulvey's Visual Pleasure and the Narrative Cinema. This blog will keep you up to date on the Year 2 Contextual Practices Lecture/Seminar Series. You are encouraged to post your research, thoughts, comments, images and links relating to the themes under discussion. More info available on Mooooooodle...
