Arguing that rape-revenge is better understood not as a genre, but as a narrative structure, the author analyzes the ways in which various deployments of this structure rework the "mass cultural fictions of femininity" inscribed in the genres over which they have been mapped. From the "frontier femmes" of rape-revenge westerns such as "Hannie Caulder", through the "erotic avengers" of neo-noirs such as "Batman Returns", to the "maternal avengers" of rape-revenge melodrama such as "An Eye for an Eye", this work explores the popular understandings of feminism that circulate around these generic manifestations of the female avenger. Applying ideas from feminist cultural studies to the analysis of film, and combining detailed textual analysis with contextual analysis, the book challenges many of the received orthodoxies of feminist theory.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Inside Popular FilmTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Films & TVItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 390gRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
