In Dora's Case: Freud, Hysteria, Feminism / Edition 2

by Charles Bernheimer, Claire Kahane

Overview

Knight explores the context from which the films made by Fassbinder, Wenders, Herzog, von Trotta and others emerged during the late 1960s through to the mid-1980s. It examines the American dominance of the German market place, the development of a film subsidy system, the notion and politics of an Autorenkino, the framework of European art cinema, and distribution and exhibition initiatives that helped shape a new national cinema.

Editorial Reviews

These new writings — feminist, deconstructive, and Lacanian, for the most part — have a wild playfulness and a sort of sexual sparkle that...give them an extraordinary verve...The sex-playful explications of Gallop, Moi, Hertz, et al....carry an unmistakable transferential weight.
