Beskrivning

Reel Gender is a groundbreaking collection that addresses the collective realities and the filmic representations of Palestinian and Israeli societies. The eight essays, by leading scholars, demonstrate how Palestinian and Israeli film production-despite obvious overlaps and similarities and while keeping in mind the inherent asymmetry of power dynamics-are at the forefront of engaging gender and sexuality. The scholars of this volume construct and deconstruct still and moving images, characters, and stories that create an entanglement of Palestinian and Israeli cinema. Together they portray the region's diverse but unexpectedly intermingled ethnic, religious, and national communities, framed or countered by various societal norms, laws, and expectations, while also defined by colonial realities. The essays draw methodologically from the fields of media and cultural studies, critical and postcolonial theory, feminism, post-feminism, and queer theory.

Recensioner i media

A double lens on Israeli and Palestinian film, 2 distinctive yet enmeshed sets of films addressing contemporary connundra of gender, sexuality, and identity in a desperate, yet vital world inhabited so differently by both, yet with similar anxieties and to a degree, aspirations. The book begins with a superb introduction by the pair of editors, one Israeli the other Palestinian, and is followed by trenchant and interesting studies by top scholars. This book is a must for anyone wishing to decipher the complex double reality of Israel/Palestine.
