This is the second monday in a row I have been finishing off chapters to be sent in for (hopeful) publicaton. Thought I should do a bit of plugging here.
Last week was a chapter on a French film Dans Ma Peau directed by the wonderful Marina De Van. My argument focused on the theorisation of female subjectivity, and how this film's exploration of this can be compared to the figure of the female werewolf.
This week is on another French film Irreversible (Gaspar Noe). I analyse the film by looking at both the visual stye and use of sound to argue that the noises in the film subvert the dominance of the gaze to allow for a critical reading of the rape scene rather than one that concludes with voyeurism and female objectification. If you are interested in issues of noise, affect and politics look out for the upcoming publication of Reverberations (edited by Michael Goddard, Paul Hegarty, and Ben Halligan) published by Continuum.
