Reviews
The Dimensions of Difference is like a breath of fresh air in contemporary film theory. Caroline Godart thinks hard about what movies do, and how they affect us. Her book offers us both a series of close readings of major films by currently active women directors, and a sustained meditation on how cinema reworks, and enriches, our fundamental experiences of time, space, and embodiment. -- Steven Shaviro, Wayne State University
In this beautifully written and thoughtful interrogation of the constitution of space, time and bodies through sexual violence, Godart represents a new orientation in feminist film theory and analysis; one attuned to questions of affect, energy and sexuality as they link and unlink different bodies, providing a way of understanding cinema as an opening up of new relations between sexes, races, classes and empires. A moving and astute intervention into film theory and feminist philosophy. -- Elizabeth Grosz, Jean Fox O'Barr Women's Studies Professor, Duke University
