Global Cinema,2634-59513-319-64607-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.This volume brings together international scholars to engage in the question of how film has represented a figure that for many is simply labelled ‘prostitute’. The prostitute is one of the most enduring female figures. She has global historical resonance and stories, images and narratives surrounding her, and her experiences, circulate transnationally. As this book will explore, the broad term prostitute can cover a variety of experiences and representations that are both repressive and also have the potential to empower women and disrupt cultural expectations. The contributors aim to consider how frequently 19th-century narratives of female prostitution—hence the label ‘fallen women’—are still recycled in contemporary visual contexts, and to understand how widespread, and in what contexts, the destigmatization of female sex work is underway on screen.Global Cinema,2634-5951Motion picturesWomenCultureGenderCommunicationGlobal Cinema and TVhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413240Women's Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35040Culture and Genderhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411210Culture and Genderhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411210Media and Communicationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412010Motion pictures.Women.Culture.Gender.Communication.Global Cinema and TV.Women's Studies.Culture and Gender.Culture and Gender.Media and Communication.791.436538Hipkins Danielleedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtTaylor-Jones Kateedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255092603321Prostitution and Sex Work in Global Cinema2112819UNINA
