Visual pleasure and narrative cinema book
Visual and Other Pleasures | Laura Mulvey | Palgrave Macmillan
The book was recently promoted and discussed in a succession of symposia and public presentations in London, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Groningen, and Utrecht. Later this year, Feminisms will be the topic of a public debate at Centre Pompidou in Paris. Fellow series editors Ian Christie and Dominique Chateau seemed to agree that this topic deserved its own publication. We thought that was a very generous offer. As you may recall, we immediately and full-heartedly accepted.

You not only thought this a very good idea but soon decided with Anna that the angle on feminisms should be contemporary rather than historical.Visual and Other Pleasures
