Description

Classical Hollywood Cinema, Sexuality, and the Politics of the Face is a scholarly examination of iconic female faces in Hollywood's golden age, including Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, and Elizabeth Taylor, and the gay male fetishization surrounding them. The book explores the aesthetic and ideological tensions within classical Hollywood cinema between competing visual economies: an erotics of to-be-looked-at-ness against a hermeneutics of to-be-seen-through-ness. This Routledge publication analyses how these legendary female faces resisted coercive and normalizing knowledge, demonstrating their enduring significance in film history. Part of the Interdisciplinary Research in Gender series, this work combines film criticism, gender studies, and cultural analysis to unpack the complex representations and meanings embedded in Hollywood's most celebrated performers and the gazes that defined them.
