Including close readings of major film theorists such as Kaja Silverman and Mary Ann Doane, Britta H. Sjogren offers an alternative to image-centered scenarios that dominate feminist film theory's critique of the representation of sexual difference. Sjogren focuses on a rash of 1940s Hollywood films in which the female voice bears a marked formal presence to demonstrate the ways that the feminine is expressed and difference is sustained. She argues that these films capitalize on particular particular psychoanalytic, narratological and discursive contradictions to bring out and express difference, rather than to contain or close it down. Exploring the vigorous dynamic engendered by contradiction and paradox, Sjogren charts a way out of the pessimistic, monolithic view of patriarchy and cinema's representation of women's voices. 606 $aWomen in motion pictures 606 $aVoice in motion pictures 606 $aVoice-overs 615 0$aWomen in motion pictures. 615 0$aVoice in motion pictures. 615 0$aVoice-overs. 676 $a791.43/6522 700 $aSjogren$b Britta H.$f1958-$01805221 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969812803321 996 $aInto the vortex$94353684 997 $aUNINA
