Some information on a relevant article on cyberfeminism is also provided. John]. Scope: An Online Journal of Film Studies The new articles are now online and can be accessed via the link below. http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/film/journal =================================================== http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/film/journal/articles/parallax-historiography.ht m Parallax Historiography: The Fl=E2neuse as Cyberfeminist By Catherine Russell, Concordia University, Canada "Cyborg imagery can suggest a way out of the maze of dualisms in which we have explained our bodies and our tools to ourselves. This is a dream not of a common language, but of a powerful infidel heteroglossia." Donna Haraway Haraway's cyborg manifesto may seem an odd choice of theoretical paradigms for developing insight into silent cinema; and yet I would like to suggest that new media technologies have created new theoretical "passages" back to the first decades of film history. The fl=E2neuse, an imaginary construction of female subjectivity who is our guide in this journey, is herself a cyborg. She figures the relationship between women and technology as a mobile, fluid and productive means of, in Haraway's words, "building and destroying machines, identities, categories, relationships, spaces, stories" (1997: 482). Recent developments in film historiography by feminist theorists have shifted the emphasis from textual analysis of the woman onscreen to the invisible history of the spectator-subject. As Patrice Petro puts it, "In contrast to formalist film historians, who seek to recover what is increasingly becoming a lost object, feminists have been primarily concerned to unearth the history of the (found) female subject" (1990: 11). This is a discovery that calls for discourse drawn from the utopian genres of techno-feminism. ===================================================================
