Subject: Re: cinematic space and gender


In addition to the articles already mentioned, I'd add the Beatriz Colomina
ed. anthology, SEXUALITY AND SPACE for the Princeton Architectural Press.
 The essays by Patricia White (on lesbian apparations and THE HAUNTING) and
Meghan Morris (on KING KONG) should be quite useful for any project on gender
and cinematic space.

Lynn Kirby's new book, PARALLEL TRACKS, on the codevelopment of the railroads
and cinema, has some interesting things to say about the connections between
male hysteria, technology, and the modernization of space.

Shelley Stamp Lindsay's work on early cinema and an emergent women's public
sphere might also be helpful.  Her book is forthcoming, but she's had pieces
published in recent issues of Quarterly Review of Film & Video (vol 16, no.
1), and Screen.

There's tons of other stuff out there (Diana Agrest's work, Aaron Betsky's
Building Sex, Giuliana Bruno's study of early Italian city films, etc.,
etc.)....if I think of any more, I'll send em along.

good luck,
