{"product_id":"gendering-the-nation-2","title":"Gendering the Nation","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince Nell Shipman wrote and starred in \u003cem\u003eBack to God's Country\u003c\/em\u003e (1919), Canadian women have been making films. The accolades given to film-makers such as Patricia Rozema (\u003cem\u003eI've Heard the Mermaids Singing\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWhen Night is Falling\u003c\/em\u003e), Alanis Obomsawin (Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance), and Micheline Lanctôt (\u003cem\u003eDeux actrices\u003c\/em\u003e) at festivals throughout the world in recent years attest to the growing international recognition for films made by Canadian women. With \u003cem\u003eGendering the Nation\u003c\/em\u003e the editors have produced a definitive collection of essays, both original and previously published, that address the impact and influence of a century of women's film-making in Canada. In dialogue with new paradigms for understanding the relationship of cinema with nation and gender, \u003cem\u003eGendering the Nation\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to situate women's cinema through the complex optic of national culture. This collection of critical essays employs a variety of frameworks to analyse cinematic practices that range from narrative to documentary to the avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edited by Kay Armatage, Kass Banning, Brenda Longfellow, and Janine Marchessault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575849156790,"sku":"9781442675223","price":87.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442675223_ccc89e7d-6469-4577-a356-0adcda27a4dc.jpg?v=1727467008","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/gendering-the-nation-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
