The Relevance Of Psychoanalysis To Feminist Film Theory

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The relevance of psychoanalysis to feminist film theory addresses the long-standing oppression women have experienced within patriarchal society. This notion is easily ascertained by analyzing the differences between and among the arguments presented by Laura Mulvey in Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, Mary Ann Doane's Film and the Masquerade and The Desire to Desire, as well as Gaylyn Studlar's article entitled Masochism and the Perverse Pleasures of the Cinema. Assessing the differences that exist within these works can be accomplished by explaining each argument as it relates to the other writings. No additional sources cited.
