Introduction This thesis deals with the representation of nude women on screen, and how cinema today constructs femininity, and gender relations. It is born out of interest in the contradictory construction of gender in films: confident expressions of female power alongside with sexualization of women and their bodies in public spaces. It seems as if feminist ideas have become part of societies’ common sense, however, at the same time feminism is neglected by the way women are often depicted in the media. Whereas some (like Germaine Greer 1999:14) argue, that today’s culture is a lot less feminist than thirty years ago, others (like David Gauntlett 2006:247) believe that the media is increasingly influenced by feminism. From my point of view, both sides are equally true. On the one hand a diversity of feminist ideas circulates a wide range of media and genres, but on the other hand sexism still exists in its most boring and predictable patterns. Due to these contradictory representations of women in the media, the topic is hard to grasp. Additionally, every feminist perspective and idea is – like gender relations – always changing and in constant transformation. This is why the present paper will approach the topic „Eyes Wide Open on the Female Subject” from different points of view. It has three aims. First, its particular focus is on the visual representation of naked women. Secondly, it seeks to provide an analysis of eroticized images of the female body across the media landscape, this is, the concept of female ‘objectification’ which presents women as passive objects from a male perspective compared with the narrative depiction of women as active subjects. Thirdly, this paper is interested in contrasting both conceptions on a visual and a narrative level by means of representative scenes from the film Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick. The thesis opens with an overview of different representations of women throughout recent cinematic history. The first chapter also discusses key terms and concepts related to this matter, and contrasts them with each other. In chapter three, visual theories formulated in this paper, such as the Mulveian concept of the ‘male gaze’, as well as visual forms of pleasurable looking, like the Freudian term scopophilia, are examined. In a further analysis of specific filmic scenes, scopophilic aspects such as voyeurism and fetishism are the main focal point of interest. This chapter additionally considers the ‘female gaze’, that is, the ways of looking at women from a female point of view. 3 The second thematic part of the paper deals with film narrative. Next to a theoretical approach dealing with textuality of film, the narrative construction of Eyes Wide Shut serves in order to subvert the ‘male gaze’ as discussed in chapter three of the paper. The concluding chapter additionally proves the paper’s assumption that the main female protagonist functions as the film’s leading character who is in charge of the story rather than being subjected by the male protagonist and the patriarchal power suggested on a visual level. What I want to show with respect to my analysis of Eyes Wide Shut is that the visual impact given on the surface level is undermined by the underlying meaning on a deeper story level. This revelation is not only crucial for the understanding of the film but also for the understanding that all is not what it seems, or in other words, that nothing is what it appears in Eyes Wide Shut. 4 2. Feminism and Film Feminism as a movement tries to “analyze and change the power structures of patriarchal societies” (Chaudhuri 2006:3f.). This doesn’t entail that feminism is ‘against’ men, but rather that it is first and foremost concerned with women’s positions. A major reason why media became influential in shaping feminist ideas and critique during the ‘Second Wave’ of feminism was that in the late 1960s and 1970s the media daily confronted feminists with representations of womanhood and gender relations in all possible ways, for instance, on billboards, TV, and radio, in news, magazines and films. While feminist research in the early-to-mid-1970s laid the focus on ‘images of women’, from the mid-1970s onwards, the attention was drawn to ‘images for women’ (cf. Gill 2007:9f.). Based on the assumption that female representations are important since images and cultural constructions shape our way of thinking, and thus might be connected to inequality, domination and oppression of women, this chapter looks at feminist studies’ approaches dealing with the representation of women and the significance of the meaning of images. In doing so, the chapter turns to feminist film theory, important figures and concepts across Europe and the United States as well as its transformation over time, while the proximate chapter deals with the depiction of women by different ways of looking at them from male and female viewpoints. 2.1. Key Figures and Concepts in Feminist Film Theory Feminism’s ‘First Wave’, also known as the suffragette movement, took place in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century when film industry was still in its beginnings but expanded rapidly, especially in America, where vast audiences were attracted to the new medium. Feminist film theory, especially in the early period, dealt with representation

Magda: Stanley Kubrick -- Auteur Stanley Kubrick – Auteur by Adriana Magda (Motion Picture Television 1113) tanley Kubrick is considered one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in history. Many important directors credit Kubrick as an important influence in their career and Sinspiration for their vision as filmmaker. Kubrick’s artistry and cinematographic achievements are undeniable, his body of work being a must watch for anybody who loves and is interested in the art of film. However what piqued my interest even more was finding out about his origins, as “Kubrick’s paternal grandmother had come from Romania and his paternal grandfather from the old Austro-Hungarian Empire” (Walker, Taylor, & Ruchti, 1999). Stanley Kubrick was born on July 26th 1928 in New York City to Jaques Kubrick, a doctor, and Sadie Kubrick. He grew up in the Bronx, New York, together with his younger sister, Barbara. Kubrick never did well in school, “seeking creative endeavors rather than to focus on his academic status” (Biography.com, 2014). While formal education didn’t seem to interest him, his two passions – chess and photography – were key in shaping the way his mind worked.

Moreover, if one considers the partnership with James B. Harris between 1955 and 1963, during which Harris produced three films as part of their Harris Kubrick Pictures Corporation, Kubrick was arguably involved as a producer on twelve of his own feature films. He was very much his own producer throughout most of his career, though with varying degrees of creative and business control at specific time periods. In the earliest years as a producer, Kubrick operated at a low-budget level of independence, with little influence over the way his films were handled by the studios to which he sold them. By the late 1960s, following the critical and commercial success of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick had established himself as one of the most powerful and potent producing brands in Hollywood.

  • The Films of Stanley Kubrick
    FM 201 Introduction to Film Studies: The Films of Stanley Kubrick Seminar Leader: Matthias Hurst Course Times: Monday, 14.00 – 15.30; Monday, 19.30 – 22.00 (weekly film screening); Wednesday, 14.00 – 15.30 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Tuesday, 13.30 – 15.00 Course Description This course is an introduction to Film Studies and provides an insight into the basic knowledge of film history and theory, film aesthetics and cinematic language. Central topics are the characteristics of film as visual form of representation, styles of filmic discourse, film analysis and different approaches to film interpretation. We explore and discuss the meaning of film as an art form, the elements of narration in fiction film and the representative function of film in modern culture, i.e. the ability of film to address important socio-historical, political, philosophical and psychological issues. The focus of this class will be on film director Stanley Kubrick (1928 – 1999), whose exceptional work, transcending genre boundaries and simple categories of mere storytelling, has become an important and influential part of film history. Kubrick’s films, often based on literary sources, are both exercises in style and critical comments on modern society and the human condition; his films also create a powerfully uncanny and disturbing effect, and have left signature imprints not only on the development of cinema, but on the wider cultural imagination. The narrative precision and film noir aesthetics of The Killing (1956), the humanist impact of Paths of Glory (1957), the epic scope of Spartacus (1960), the controversial eroticism of Lolita (1962), the satirical humour of Dr.

Each of these theorists has grappled with the overarching concept of fidelity, the status of film as autonomous art, the status of film authorship, and textual primacy. Secondly, I apply the current scholarship on Adaptation Theory to the work of film auteur, Stanley Kubrick.

  • Identifying the Meaning: in Search of the Concepts of Kubrick's Films
    Chapter 1 Identifying the Meaning: In Search of the Concepts of Kubrick’s Films The perfect novel from which to make a movie is, I think, not the novel of action but, on the contrary, the novel which is mainly concerned with the inner life of its characters. —Stanley Kubrick1 If it is our goal to demonstrate how the situational meanings of Kubrick’s films are communicated visually to the viewer, then, we first have to identify the concepts that constitute those meanings. Before pursuing this task, we will first provide the reader with some insight into the question as to how spectators construct the situational meanings of films. Since an understanding of this question falls together with the way people make sense of stories, the first part of this chapter will be devoted to a clarification of the concept of narrative. Knowing more or less how narrative comprehension is achieved, we will be able to move on to the second part of this chapter which is centred around the question as to where to find the concepts that constitute the situational meanings of Kubrick’s films. This question will be explored through a consideration of four distinctive sources of conceptual description: the novel, the screenplay, the film, and the descriptions as formulated by the film viewer. Each level of description will be discussed with respect to Kubrick’s unique method of adapting stories into films. Once we know where to find these concepts, we can actually present some conceptual descriptions. This will be done in the third part of this chapter in which we shall provide the reader with thirteen scene descriptions, one for each feature film that Kubrick directed.
