Description de l'ouvrage:
Tina Chanter resolves a fundamental problem in film theory by negotiating a middle path between "gaze theory" approaches to film and spectator studies or cultural theory approaches that emphasize the position of the viewer and thereby take account of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Chanter argues that abjection is the unthought ground of fetishistic theories. If the feminine has been the privileged excluded other of psychoanalytic theory, fueled by the myth of castration and the logic of disavowal, when fetishism is taken up by race theory, or cultural theory, the multiple and fluid registers of abjection are obscured. By mobilizing a theory of abjection, the book shows how the appeal to phallic, fetishistic theories continues to reify the hegemonic categories of race, class, sexuality, and gender, as if they stood as self-evident categories.

Revue de Presse:
". . . [T]his is an intriguing read, especially for those who favor psychological models of criticism in film theory. . . . Recommended."
-Choice
"The book strikes a felicitous balance between innovative theoretical analysis, the engaging interpretation of the selected films, and the timely discussions of the political issues and the innovative aesthetic apparatus addressed in these films. It is a timely and important project that changes our understanding of the role of abjection both in cultural politics and in the structure of film."
