With a kaleidoscopic array of cinematic techniques and poetic devices, the film charts Louise’s process as she questions her place within white patriarchal culture and finds her voice within the burgeoning Women’s Liberation Movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReading \u003ci\u003eRiddles of the Sphinx\u003c\/i\u003e as an essay film, Kimberly Lamm explores how it utilises voice, sound and writing to challenge Hollywood’s dominant images of women and to portray maternal care as a legitimate form of work, rich in aesthetic pleasures and feminist possibilities. She examines the voice of the Sphinx, and, connecting it to feminism’s engagement with psychoanalysis, argues that Mulvey and Wollen’s film works-through long histories of patriarchal viewing practices and creates conditions in which the full range of women’s voices can be listened to, heard and valued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLamm explores how \u003ci\u003eRiddles of the Sphinx\u003c\/i\u003e, the second collaboration between Mulvey and Wollen, drew inspiration from Wollen’s influential work on ‘counter-cinema’ and Mulvey’s foundational writing on ‘the male gaze’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47427550937324,"sku":"9781839026850","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781839026850.jpg?v=1774767440"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kimberly-lamm.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
