Gendering Iraq and Afghanistan War Movies -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index."Movies about significant historical personalities or landmark events like war seem to be governed by a set of unspoken rules for the expression of gender. Films by female directors featuring female protagonists appear to receive particularly harsh treatment and are often criticised for being too 'emotional' and incapable of expressing 'real' history. Through her examination of films from the United States, Europe, Australia and elsewhere, Julia Erhart makes powerful connections between the representational strategies of women directors such as Kathryn Bigelow, Ruth Ozeki and Alexandra von Grote and their concerns with exploring the past through the prism of the present. She also compellingly explores how historiographical concepts like valour, memory, and resistance are uniquely re-envisioned within sub-genres including biopics, historical documentaries, Holocaust movies, and movies about the 'War on Terror'. Gendering History on Screen will make an invaluable contribution to scholarship on historical film and women's cinema."--Provided by publisher.Library of gender and popular culture ;15.Women motion picture producers and directorsWomen in the motion picture industryWomen in motion picturesHistorical filmsHistory and criticismElectronic books.Women motion picture producers and directors.Women in the motion picture industry.Women in motion pictures.Historical filmsHistory and criticism.791.43/6522Erhart Julia1067534Bloomsbury (Firm),ERASACaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910511495103321Gendering history on screen2551362UNINA
