In this book Camelia Elias introduces key terms in feminist, queer, and postcolonial/diaspora film. Taking her point of departure in the question, “what do you want from me?” she detours through Lacanian theory of the gaze and reframes questions of subjectivity and representation in an entertaining entanglement of visual with textual poetics in film. (223 pp)

 

The critics said:

"Intriguing, well written in a voluptuous and penetrating style" -- Robert Gibbons
