  • Console-Ing Passions Abstracts
    Console-ing Passions Abstracts Kristian Adamson, University of Sydney, Australia “Three Percent, Rounded Up: The Problem with Positive Representations of Women” In this paper I will present the results of my own research on the last thirty years of above-the-line creative labour in Hollywood. The changes in women’s participation in Hollywood as writers, producers and directors will be outlined, and sites of fracture in men’s dominance of the industry will be identified as part of the process of mapping the prevailing trends across the period. This demonstration of gender inequality in Hollywood will do more than merely confirm what might have already been suspected as true. The identifiably gendered divisions of labour in Hollywood will also be used to inform and propose methodological principles for researchers approaching other elements of the ‘cinematic institution’. To illustrate the utility of a more complete empirical understanding of Hollywood I will use the data compiled in my study to situate feminist engagement with post-feminist film within the context of an industry which not only excludes women but actively rewards men who do so. Post-feminist film has at its core an ambiguity. On the one hand it offers “positive representations” of empowered women and on the other these are always within a larger narrative framework that undermines feminist demands. This ambiguity has proven resilient and resulted in a kind of stalemate in recent debates about postfeminism. I argue that one means to think beyond this impasse is to combine an empirical analysis of creative labour practices with a critique of cinema centred on feminism as an ethical demand.

  • Eva Krainitzki
    Exploring the Hypervisibility Paradox: Older Lesbians in Contemporary Mainstream Cinema (1995-2009) Eva Krainitzki A thesis submitted to The University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Media, Arts and Technology July 2011 1 0 Abstract This thesis explores the intersection of age, gender and sexuality in representations of older lesbian characters in contemporary narrative film. Taking the 1990s as a benchmark of lesbian visibility, I explore the turn of the century representability by focusing on British and American film (1995 to 2009). I identify a hypervisibility paradox during this period of cinematic production where the presence of a multitude of young lesbian and bisexual characters can be seen to be in complete contrast with the invisibility of the older lesbian. Mainstream postfeminist culture censors the ageing female body, except in its ‘successfully aged’, youthful, heterosexualised form. Older lesbian characters are excluded from this frame of visibility and, instead, are represented through paradigms associated with the concept of ‘ageing as decline.’ There is little in existing age studies or lesbian film studies to articulate an understanding of the intersection of age, gender and sexuality in cinematic representation. I adopt an interdisciplinary cultural studies approach to make my contribution in what is an under-researched area and present a multifaceted approach to a complex cultural image. I investigate the continuity of the concept of the lesbian as ghostly (Castle, 1993) through narratives of illness, death and mourning. I argue that the narrative of ‘ageing as decline’ stands in for the process of ‘killing off’ lesbian characters (identified in 1960s and 1970s cinema).
