Description

Disruptive Feminisms provides a revolutionary new approach to feminism as a disruptive force. By examining various films and filmmakers who are not so obviously read as feminist or Marxist, Gwendolyn Foster showcases their ability to disrupt and effectively challenge everything from class and racism, as well as sexism, ageism, and homophobia.

About the Author
Gwendolyn Audrey Foster is Willa Cather Chair in English and Film in the Department of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA.

Reviews
"I think Disruptive Feminists is superior in many ways, just simply a jewel. Gwendolyn Audrey Foster's peculiar and enchanting magic is to blend keen socio-critical attention with an unyielding poetic sensitivity to the world of hints, provocations, resonances, and allusions. Through the films examined here, and through Foster's eyes, gender, class, and race fly beyond rhetoric and come alive." - Murray Pomerance, Ryerson University, USA and author of The Eyes Have It: Cinema and The Reality Effect "This book passionately advocates a cinema that challenges injustice and oppression across the globe by disrupting 'normative values' and 'received notions' of race and class as well as gender. Not least of the book's strengths is its illumination of culturally and aesthetically diverse works ranging from Carlos Reygadas' Post Tenebras Lux (2012) and Claire Denis' No Fear, No Die (1990) to Betty White's television programs of the 1950s." - Ira Jaffe, Professor Emeritus, Former Chair, Department of Cinematic Arts, University of New Mexico, USA

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
