Description

Explore the deep connection between film history and gender studies with Classical Hollywood Cinema, Sexuality, and the Politics of the Face. Published by Routledge as part of the Interdisciplinary Research in Gender series, this work examines how iconic female stars like Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, and Elizabeth Taylor are represented on screen. The text investigates the tension between different ways of seeing in golden age cinema. It looks at the conflict between the desire to look at a face and the drive to see through it. This study analyzes how these legendary Hollywood faces resist efforts to categorize or normalize them through specific types of knowledge. This book provides a detailed look at the gay male fetishization of these famous faces and the ideological struggles within classical film aesthetics. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in film theory, gender studies, and the history of Hollywood cinema.
