É sempre um prazer (sic) ler a Mulvey, mas a seleção de ensaios presente aqui desvela o brilhantismo que encontramos tanto em seus escritos quanto em seus filmes.
Teórica do cinema e cineasta avant-garde de primeira linha, foi a primeira intelectual a unir cinema, psicanálise e feminismo como teoria sustentável, ou seja, ela é a mãe de muita gente que vemos por aí, inclusive minha.
Aqui temos uma apanhado geral do que Mulvey escreveu entre os anos 70 e 80 que inclui ensaios sobre Miss show more Universo, a arte de Allen Jones, Godard, Sirk, Fassbinder, Kahlo e Modotti, Barbara Kruger, Victor Burgin, Mary Kelly e um assombroso sobre o mito de Édipo que encerra o livro, sempre tendo como carta na manga o male gaze, o feminismo e Freud e Lacan. Essa seleção só não é maior do que a própria Mulvey.

P.S. Fiz uma seleção dos filmes que ela cita no livro aqui: https://letterboxd.com/ladyspiggott/list/visual-and-other-pleasures-by-laura-mul....

This text examines the work of Jimmie Durham, the sculptor and performance artist of Cherokee descent. The book is part of a series of studies of important artists of the late-20th century. Each title offers a comprehensive survey of the artist's work, providing analyses and multiple perspectives on contemporary art and its inspiration.
I read this book for my exams, and I seem to have misplaced my notes, so this review is going to be necessarily slight. It was suggested to me because my research project is about vision, about how the way we see translates into the way we think, and Mulvey of course has a lot to say about how we look, especially in her famous "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema." Its justly oft-cited, but I found little that was of help to my own project in it, and even less in the other essays in the show more book. Oh well, these things happen, and it's not a fault of the book! show less
