Zusatztext This book productively brings together research happening across the History of Art, Film Studies, Visual Culture and Fine Art Practice and asserts the importance of practices that have too long remained peripheral. Each of the essays offers fresh, new perspectives, providing an excellent introduction to the recent developments in the study of moving image art. Informationen zum Autor Lucy Reynolds is Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media, University of Westminster, UK.

Klappentext A diverse range of leading scholars, activists, archivists and artists explore the histories, practices and concerns of women making film and video across the world, from the pioneering German animator Lotte Reiniger, to the influential African American filmmaker Julie Dash and the provocative Scottish contemporary artist Rachel Maclean. Opening with a foreword from the film theorist Laura Mulvey and a poem by the artist filmmaker Lis Rhodes, the book traces the legacies of early feminist interventions into the moving image and the ways in which these have been re-configured in the very different context of today. Reflecting and building upon the practices of recuperation that continue to play a vital role in feminist art practice and scholarship, contributors discuss topics such as how multiculturalism is linked to experimental and activist film history, the function and nature of the essay film, feminist curatorial practices and much more. This book transports readers across diverse cultural contexts and geographical contours, addressing complex narratives of subjectivity, representation and labour, while juxtaposing cultures of film, video and visual arts practice often held apart.
