Her most recent books are NASA/TREK: Popular Science and Sex in America and The Invisible Woman: Imaging Technologies, Gender, and Science, edited with Paula Treichler and Lisa Cartwright. Klappentext The Analysis of Film is at once a book about the methods of close film analysis, the narrative structure of Hollywood film, Hitchcock's work--The Birds, Marnie, Psycho. North by Northwest--and the role of the woman in western representation. But, finally, it is a book about cinema itself and the love for cinema that drives the passion for analyzing the supreme art form of the twentieth centry. Zusammenfassung With an introductory chapter that sketches out a history of the way the close analysis of film developed, this work begins with a study of the Bodega Bay sequence of "The Birds", and then goes on to examine various aspects of that singular critical practice, 'the analysis of film'.
