Florence Martin examines the intersections of nation and gender in seven films, showing how directors turn around the politics of the gaze as they play with the various meanings of the Arabic term \u003ci\u003ehijab \u003c\/i\u003e(veil, curtain, screen). Martin analyzes these films on their own theoretical terms, developing the notion of transvergence to examine how Maghrebi women's cinema is flexible, playful, and transgressive in its themes, aesthetics, narratives, and modes of address. These are distinctive films that traverse multiple cultures, both borrowing from and resisting the discourses these cultures propose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Florence Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253223418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlorence Martin is Professor of French and Francophone Literature and Cinema at Goucher College and Associate Editor of \u003ci\u003eStudies in French Cinema. \u003c\/i\u003eShe is author of \u003ci\u003eBessie Smith, \u003c\/i\u003e of \u003ci\u003eDe la Guyane à la diaspora africaine\u003c\/i\u003e (with Isabelle Favre), and of \u003ci\u003eA vous de voir!\u003c\/i\u003e (with Maryse Fauvel and Stéphanie Martin).\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40042138796147,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_d25fea5b-e6f6-4761-9aea-7dd0db6c7aee.jpg?v=1651014554","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/screens-and-veils-maghrebi-womens-cinema-9780253223418","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
