Visual Riposte: Looking Back at the Return of the Gaze as Postcolonial Theory’s Gift to Film Studies

Abstract

This article examines the theoretical and historical background of the return-of-the-gaze phenomenon in film studies and in film practice, especially within the articulation between postcolonial and visual studies, and discusses its limitations and potentialities through a case study of films made by Father Francis Aupiais in Benin in 1929–1930.
