From the precocious charms of Shirley Temple to the box-office behemoth Frozen and its two young female leads, Anna and Elsa, the girl has long been a figure of fascination for cinema. The symbol of (imagined) childhood innocence, the site of intrigue and nostalgia for adults, a metaphor for the precarious nature of subjectivity itself, the girl is caught between infancy and adulthood, between objectification and power. She speaks to many strands of interest for film studies: feminist questions of cinematic representation of female subjects; historical accounts of shifting images of girls and childhood in the cinema; and philosophical engagements with the possibilities for the subject in film. This collection considers the specificity of girls' experiences and their cinematic articulation through a multicultural feminist lens which cuts across the divides of popular/art-house, Western/non Western, and north/south. Drawing on examples from North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Europe, the contributors bring a new understanding of the global/local nature of girlhood and its relation to contemporary phenomena such as post-feminism, neoliberalism and queer subcultures. Containing work by established and emerging scholars, this volume explodes the narrow post-feminist canon and expands existing geographical, ethnic, and historical accounts of cinematic cultures and girlhood.

This book explores and theorises female visions of Japanese girlhood in the work of three women directors: Ninagawa Mika, Miyake Kyoko and Ando Momoko. These directors are all highly diverse in their production background, outputs and style, and yet all three share a common preoccupation with visualizing moments of both girlhood and female ageing. The book takes at its core the debate on the aesthetics of gender - something all three women have engaged in - and explores the idea of feminist film historiography.

For many East Asian nations, cinema and Japanese Imperialism arrived within a few years of each other. Exploring topics such as landscape, gender, modernity and military recruitment, this study details how the respective national cinemas of Japan’s territories struggled under, but also engaged with, the Japanese Imperial structures. Japan was ostensibly committed to an ethos of pan-Asianism and this study explores how this sense of the transnational was conveyed cinematically across the occupied lands. Taylor-Jones traces how cinema in the region post-1945 needs to be understood not only in terms of past colonial relationships, but also in relation to how the post-colonial has engaged with shifting political alliances, the opportunities for technological advancement and knowledge, the promise of larger consumer markets, and specific historical conditions of each decade.

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 Screen Worlds brings together scholars from around the world to collaborate on comparative studies of specific African and Asian cinemas and audiovisual narrative media. This open access collection advances the concept of “screen worlds” rather than “world cinema” to acknowledge and reckon with the impact of new technologies on cinema and everyday life, and the contributors adopt a decolonial feminist approach that insists on localized, intersectional analyses that take race, gender, and class into account in their critique of historical and contemporary abuses of power. Many chapters are set against major world-historical events—such as the Cold War and the Bandung era—and grapple with the relationships among films, filmmaking practices, and social, historical, and cultural experiences. In the chapters, contributors variously explore, for example, filmmaking relationships between countries as diverse as the UAE and India, China and South Africa; K-pop fandom among audiences in Madagascar and North-east India, and Bollywood fandom in southern Nigeria; the use of parallel filmmaking genres and themes in Lagos and Mumbai, Tokyo and Lahore; and comparative analysis of the films of well-known African and Asian filmmakers such as Yasujiro Ozu and Alain Gomis, Satyajit Ray and Souleymane Cissé, and Wong Kar-wai and Mahamat Saleh Haroun.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
