The book investigates how women perceive, use, and inhabit the city of Paris on-screen, showing that the strong connection between the city and its women offers a strategic site to examine gender in urban space in cinema. Close readings of key popular movies, art-house films, and films directed by women reveal that the on-screen interactions between female protagonists and city spaces are crucial to understanding women's place(s) in Paris in different social and historical contexts. Moving beyond the mythical \u003ci\u003eParisienne\u003c\/i\u003e and the celebrated \u003ci\u003efl穗euse\u003c\/i\u003e, the book analyzes the Parisiennes as city women to capture the interactive exchange between female protagonists and urban spaces, focusing on spatial perception, everyday urban practices, and lived experience. Most importantly, these on-screen Parisiennes show women's lives and struggles in the city and imagine women asserting the right to be residents of Paris, as city women. The \u003ci\u003eParisiennes\u003c\/i\u003e as city women screen women who aim to walk freely the city streets and imagine Paris on their own terms, providing a more egalitarian model to the off-screen city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicoleta Bazgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180207452X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781802074529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Nicoleta Bazgan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45180626338047,"sku":"9781802074529","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed40268d-a263-4cda-97dc-94adfea95de7.jpg?v=1712898288","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parisiennes-nicoleta-bazgan-9781802074529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
