Taking her cue from the groundbreaking theories of Claire Johnston, Alison Butler argues that women's cinema is a minor cinema that exists inside other cinemas, inflecting and contesting the codes and systems of the major cinematic traditions from within. Using canonical directors and less established names, ranging from Chantal Akerman to Moufida Tlatli, as examples, Butler argues that women's cinema is unified in spite of its diversity by the ways in which it reworks cinematic conventions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Butler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1903364272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781903364277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wallflower Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 6.04w x 0.43d","brand":"Alison Butler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896925937919,"sku":"9781903364277","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30794d0e-f642-4bc3-a1e5-db0546f66a59.jpg?v=1721372699","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/womens-cinema-alison-butler-9781903364277","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
