Summary

Through a detailed analysis of exterior and interior images of the female body, taken between 1750 and 1910, this book questions how the visual representation of women has been used to remove women's bodies from varying discourses, especially those of generation and reproduction.

Seeing Her Sex by Roberta Mcgrath

The issue of ethnicity in France, and how ethnicities are represented there visually, remain one of the most important and polemical aspects of French post-colonial politics and society. Troubling visions is the first book to analyse how a range of different ethnicities have been represented across contemporary French visual culture. Via a wide series of case studies - ranging from the worldwide hit film Amélie to France's popular TV series Plus belle la vie - it explores how ethnicities have been represented in contemporary France across a wide variety of different media. Its innovative, interdisciplinary approach and novel subject matter will complement university courses that focus on contemporary French society and visual culture. It will interest those researching and studying French and European film and photography, ethnicity in post-colonial France and visual culture generally. -- .
