  • Defining Women Subjects: Photographs in Trinidad (1860S–1960S)
    1 The University of the West Indies Institute for Gender and Development Studies Issue 7 – 2013 Defining Women Subjects: Photographs in Trinidad (1860s–1960s) Roshini Kempadoo ___________________________________________________________________ Abstract This article proposes research methodologies for use in analysing photographs that represent and visualise women subjects of colonial Trinidad. Methodology has been developed on the basis of research undertaken into photographic material of the period in Trinidad from the 1860s to 1960s. The researcher encounters the historical photographs in the present, thus providing insight into the ways in which photographic technologies have visualised Trinidadian women and explores how these practices persist in contemporary visual culture. Photography emerged as a mode of communication for ‘a developing capitalist world order’. No previous economy of visual technologies constituted a world order in the same sense, and it is from within this wider context that we may consider the complex creation, production and circulation of colonial photographs representing the woman figure. Photographic practice at the turn of the twentieth century was a contributive part of the imperial attempt to ‘unify the globe’ and equally became associated with the ‘myth’ of a universality of photographic language (Sekula 1981). Photographic practice contributed to a shift in the continuity of European ideas and thinking about the visualisation of the Other. Colonial photography determined the gendered construction of the colonial woman as subjected to heightened, fetishised, visual scrutiny. Kempadoo, Roshini. 2013. Defining Women Subjects: Photographs in Trinidad (1860s–1960s). CRGS, no. 7, ed. Kamala Kempadoo, Halimah DeShong, and Charmaine Crawford, pp. 1-14. 2 Introduction This article explores techniques and methods of the research process that are considered cornerstones to the analysis of colonial photographs of women.

  • A Rare Glimpse of Tahereh's Face in Through the Olive Trees
    A rare glimpse of Tahereh’s face in Through the Olive Trees (Zire darakhatan zeyton) (dir. Abbas Kiarostami, France/ Iran, 1994). Courtesy Artifi cial Eye Women in a Widening Frame: (Cross-)Cultural Projection, Spectatorship, and Iranian Cinema Lindsey Moore This article addresses the entwined issues of gendered and cul- tural representation in contemporary Iranian cinema. One of the remarkable features of recent Iranian film is its allegorical use of gendered tropes, in particular the (in)visibility and (im)mobility of women in social space. The female body, which has been defined in historically charged and culturally assertive terms, is constantly reinvested thematically and technically. In Iran, as in more conventionally “postcolonial” sites of knowledge produc- tion,1 the relationship between vision and embodied, gendered objects is both culturally specificand informed by cross-cultural encounter. This article urges continued attention to the import of female representation in relation to a film’s reception both within and outside of the national viewing context. I assess the implications of verisimilitude in three films: Abbas Kiarostami’s Through the Olive Trees (Zire darakhatan zeyton) (France/Iran, 1994), Samira Makhmalbaf’s The Apple (Sib) (Iran/ France, 1998), and Kim Longinotto and Ziba Mir-Hosseini’s Copyright © 2005 by Camera Obscura Camera Obscura 59, Volume 20, Number 2 Published by Duke University Press 1 2 • Camera Obscura Divorce Iranian Style (UK, 1998). The difficulty in generically categorizing these films, particularly the latter two, rests on the exploitation in each case of the hinge between documentary and dramatic technique. It is my intention not only to contextualize this strategy in relation to postrevolutionary Iranian cultural politics, but to investigate the effects of generically hybrid texts that enter the international sphere.

  • The Open Image: Poetic Realism and the New Iranian Cinema
    Downloaded from The open image: poetic realism and the New Iranian Cinema http://screen.oxfordjournals.org/ SHOHINI CHAUDHURI and HOWARD FINN When Mohsen Makhmalbaf's Safar e Ghandehar/Kandahar was screened at London's Institute for Contemporary Arts in Autumn at Senate House Library, University of London on December 4, 2015 2001 it drew sell-out audiences, as it did in other European and North American cities. The film's success, partly due to its timely release, also reflects an enthusiasm internationally for Iranian films which has been gathering momentum in recent years. This essay focuses on one characteristic of 'New Iranian Cinema' which has evidently intrigued both critics and audiences, namely the foregrounding of a certain type of ambiguous, epiphanic image. We attempt to explore these images, which we have chosen - very simply - to call 'open images". One might read these images directly in terms of the political and cultural climate of the Islamic Republic which engendered them, as part of the broader ongoing critical debate on the relationship of these films to contemporary Iranian social reality Our intention, however, is primarily to draw structural and aesthetic comparisons across different national cinemas, to show, among other things, how a repressed political dimension returns within the ostensibly apolitical aesthetic form of the open image. The term "image' encompasses shot, frame and scene, and includes sound components - open images may deploy any of these elements. Open images are not necessarily extraordinary images, they often belong to the order of the everyday. While watching a film one may meet them with some resistance - yet they have the property of producing virtual after-images in the mind.

This film movement boasts a number of successful women directors, whose films have impressed audiences and film festivals worldwide. This study examines the works of three Iranian women directors, Rakhshan Bani-Etemad, Tamineh Milani, and Samira Makhmalbaf, for their films’ social, political, and cultural themes and commentary while also investigating the directors’ techniques in managing censorship codes that regulate their production and content. Importantly, these women directors must also navigate the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance’s censorship laws, which dictate that challenging the government’s law or Islamic law is illegal and punishable.

  • 1 Introducción El Presente Proyecto De Grado Pertenece a La Categoría De
    Introducción El presente proyecto de grado pertenece a la categoría de ensayo que se enmarca en la temática historia y tendencia, pues analiza desde una mirada crítica el cine de Irán, indagando sobre la condición de la mujer como precursora de un nuevo cine realizado en situaciones adversas, en un país islámico, desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad, pasando por sus estructuras sociológicas, culturales y religiosas. El ensayo busca analizar como las cineastas mujeres logran sobrevivir a las conductas de una sociedad como la iraní, comenzando por la posición de la mujer y su condición de género, al estar afectada por la religión y la transformación de la misma, pues las leyes del Corán la defienden y le dan una posición no discriminatoria ni excluyente como la que vive en su cotidianeidad. Asimismo, es clave agregar que la población de Irán en un 65 % son mujeres, las cuales van a la universidad en su mayoría, lo que indica que serían una gran potencia que no está incluida en el sistema. Por otro lado, existen mujeres que son precursoras en el cine y renombradas directoras. Estas son reconocidas en diferentes festivales como Cannes, Berlín, Venecia y Canadá, por expresar una visión personal de la realidad de su pueblo. Cabe aclarar, que el caso de Irán como país islámico es muy distinto a la mayoría de los países musulmanes, pues son descendientes de los persas con una influencia arábica, una combinación de culturas muy arraigadas desde milenios atrás. Estas características les dan a estas directoras la sensibilidad que plasman en sus films.
