Feminist Discourse and Spanish Cinema

Abstract

Abstract ANY discussion of women film-makers and feminist cinema must inevitably contend with a post-structuralist theoretical dilemma: in an era ushered in by the proclamation of the death of the author and the dispersal of the subject, how is it possible to theorize a female agency within the cinematographic realm? Feminist critics working in both literature and film have responded to questions of authorship and agency in a number of different ways. The demise of the author, as announced first by Roland Barthes and then by Michel Foucault, has in fact been celebrated by some feminists.
