The avant-garde tradition: Australian women’s experimental film in the 1990s
Australia has a significant history of innovative experimental films by women. Although much is known about the independent filmmaking co-operatives of the 1970s and 1980s, scholarly investigations of women’s experimental cinema in the 1990s is comparatively limited. This paper examines a select grouping of provocative experimental films made by Australian women during the 1990s: Pale Black (Marie Craven, 1992), Maidenhead (Marie Craven, 1995) an…
She’s everything: Feminism and the Barbie movie
Hyped, discussed, and anticipated: Barbie is surely the film of the year. Even before its premiere at the height of the summer blockbuster season, the Barbie movie had achieved a level of public celebration and saturation that is uncommon in twenty-first century media culture.

Pleasurable critiques: Feminist viewership and criticism in Feminist Frequency , Jezebel , and Rosie Recaps
In an introduction to her webseries Tropes vs Women in Video Games, critic Anita Sarkeesian makes a disclaimer: “This series will include critical analysis of many beloved games and characters,” she says “but remember that it’s both possible, and even necessary, to simultaneously enjoy media while also being critical of its more problematic or pernicious aspects.” Sarkeesian’s statement pre-empts a common complaint made of feminist criticism: nam…
