Return of the Monstrous-Feminine: Feminist New Wave Cinema
This follow-up to the classic text of The Monstrous-Feminine analyses those contemporary films which explore social justice issues such as women’s equality, violence against women, queer relationships, race and the plight of the planet and its multi-species. Examining a new movement – termed by Creed as Feminist New Wave Cinema – The Return of the Monstrous-Feminine explores a significant change that has occurred over the past two decades in the …
Apes and Elephants: In Search of Sensation in the Tropical Imaginary
This paper will explore the tropical exotic in relation to the widespread European fascination with tropical animals exhibited in zoos throughout the long nineteenth century. Zoos became places where human animals could experience the chill of a backbone shiver as they came face to face with the animal/other. It will examine the establishment of the first zoos in relation to Harriet Ritvo’s argument that their major imperative was one of classifi…
The Monstrous-Feminine: Film, feminism, psychoanalysis
In almost all critical writings on the horror film, woman is conceptualised only as victim. In The Monstrous-Feminine Barbara Creed challenges this patriarchal view by arguing that the prototype of all definitions of the monstrous is the female reproductive body.With close reference to a number of classic horror films including the Alien trilogy, T
Films, gestures, species
As non-verbal communication, gestures are central to the cinematic representation of the animal. How has the cinema constructed creaturely gestures? How do animals enunciate? Charles Darwin argued in The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872) that there is an evolutionary continuity between human and animal expressions and gestures. In his book, he drew on photography to provide visual evidence of his theory that the emotions evolve…
“Low down Dirty Rat”: Popular and Moral Responses to Possums and Rats in Melbourne
Possums and rats are both found in large numbers in the city of Melbourne, Australia. The two species share much in common, including an ability to flourish among humans and a predisposition for building nests in houses and eating food and plants intended for humans. Yet despite numerous similarities possums and rats are afforded strikingly different levels of protection before the law. The death of a possum must be justified and carried out pain…
Animal Deaths on Screen: Film and Ethics
Do animals understand death? How does the cinema represent death? The concept of death has played a crucial role in anthropocentric discussions of the representation of human/animal relationships in cultural practices. This paper will explore the representation of animals and death in the cinema from its beginnings to the present in relation to questions of ethics, and the cinematic representation of human/animal intersubjectivity. It will argue …
Body Trade: Captivity, Cannibalism and Colonialism in the Pacific
Memory, History and Modernity: Screening Ceremonies of the Civilising Mission
This article examines how official and unofficial early film footage intersects in the representation of France's mission civilisatrice in films taken in West Congo in the early twentieth century. We study uncut, and largely unseen footage of the French soldier General Henri Gouraud in Syria and Lebanon, filmed during the French acquisition of these territories following the First World War. This footage taken by Albert Kahn's photographer Lucien…
Tropical Malady: Film & the Question of the Uncanny Human-Animal
The acclaimed Thai film, Tropical Malady (2004), represents the tropics as a surreal place where conscious and unconscious are as inextricably entwined. Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Tropical Malady presents two interconnected stories: one a quirky gay love story; the other a strange disconnected narrative about a shape-shifting shaman, a man-beast and a ghostly tiger. This paper will argue that from it beginnings in the silent period, t…
A Darwinian Love Story: Max Mon Amour and the Zoocentric Perspective in Film
The cinema, throughout its evolution from the silent period to the present, has exhibited a fascination with the revolutionary ideas of Charles Darwin (1809–1882). Darwin's findings dislodged the h
The End of the Everyday: Transformation, Sexuality and the Uncanny
All of these writers – Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Shklovsky and Brecht – allow us to sense in different ways the ineluctable significance of the uncanny as a means of thinking about so-called ‘real life’, the ordinary, the familiar and everyday. (Royle, 2003 Royle, N. 2003. The Uncanny, U.K: Manchester University Press. Manchester [Google Scholar], pp. 5–6)
