Cinematic Representations and Feminist Critique

This exam centers on the analysis of Cinematic Representations through a feminist lens, focusing on how film constructs and disseminates gendered narratives. Key theories of Feminist Film Theory will be discussed in relation to specific films.

Understanding cinematic representations is crucial for dismantling stereotypes perpetuated by the film industry. Feminist critique not only reveals dominant ideologies but also encourages the production of alternative narratives reflective of diverse experiences.

Students will be assessed on their ability to critically evaluate films, articulate their feminist analyses, and discuss the broader implications of these cinematic representations in society.

Participants should prepare examples from various film genres and be ready to discuss the effectiveness of feminist critiques in challenging conventional narratives.
