It explores the castrating power of the early modern witch and the historical belief that pregnant women could manipulate and distort body image as figurative analogies for feminist theories of objectification and the male gaze. Through developing this history as an impure but lively analogy, this book serves as a provocation against the dominant imagining of objectification. It offers innovative analyses of a wide-ranging selection of films and topics including Joyce Wieland?s Water Sark (1964) and its resonance with the works of John Cage and Stan Brakhage; the documentary Histoires d?A (History of Abortion, 1973), which contributed to the successful legalisation of abortion in France; the Hong Kong horror film Dumplings (Jiaozi, ?? 2004), where foetal cannibalism serves up an image of censorship; and the dual productions The Book of Mary (Le livre de Marie) and Hail Mary (Je vous salue, Marie, 1985) by Anne-Marie Miéville and Jean-Luc Godard that figure a self-reproducing virgin who hears herself while remaining a virgin, unseen. 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aCulture 606 $aGender 606 $aFilm Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413090 606 $aCulture and Gender$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411210 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aGender. 615 14$aFilm Theory. 615 24$aCulture and Gender. 676 $a306.8743 676 $a301 700 $aBliss$b Lauren$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0971584 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484080603321 996 $aThe Maternal Imagination of Film and Film Theory$92208935 997 $aUNINA
