Representations of femininity in American genre cinemathe woman's film, film noir, and modern horror /[electronic resource] :by David Greven. - New York, NY :Palgrave Macmillan,2011. - 1 online resource (214 p.)

Includes bibliographical references.

Femininity and Film Genres * Freud and the Death-Mother * Transformations of the Woman's Film * Modern Horror as the Concealed Woman's Film * Medusa in the Mirror: Brian De Palma's Carrie * Demeter and Persephone in Space: Transformation, Femininity, and Myth in the Alien Films * The Finalizing Woman: Horror, Femininity, and Queer Monsters * The Brave One.

The theme of female transformation informs the Hollywood representation of femininity from the studio era to the present. Whether it occurs physically, emotionally, or on some other level, transformation allows female protagonists to negotiate their own complex desires and to resist the compulsory marriage plot. A sweeping study of Hollywood from Now, Voyager, The Heiress, and Flamingo Road to Carrie, the Alien films, The Brave One, and the slasher horror genre, this book boldly unsettles commonplace understandings of genre film, female sexuality, and Freudian theory as it makes a strong new case for the queer relevance of female representation.
