The representation of gender and sexuality is well-explored territory in film studies. In
Film Bodies, Katharina Lindner takes existing debates into a new direction and integrates queer and feminist theory with film phenomenology. Drawing on a broad range of sources, Lindner explores the female body”s presence in a range of genres including the dance film, the sports film and queer cinema.
Moving across mainstream and independent cinema, Lindner provides detailed ”textural” analyses of
Black Swan,
The Tango Lesson,
2 Seconds,
Offside,
Tomboy and Girlhood and discusses the queer feminist encounters these films can give rise to. This provocative book is of vital interest to students and researchers of queer cinema, queer/feminist theory, embodiment and affect and offers a unique new way of understanding the relationship between queerness, feminism, the body and cinema.
