Reviews
This is an intellectually muscular approach to pregnancy (deliberately re-presented as "the uterus"), and a highly original conception of the uterus as narrative space. Carruthers deploys phenomenology to focus on the uterus as distinct from motherhood/maternity, and pursues her topic via wide-ranging and impressive research in all the areas of film studies touched upon. * Kate Ince, Professor of French and Visual Studies, University of Birmingham, UK *
