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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 13, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45303740661862,"sku":"9780253223418","price":44.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/RjdPWjZ4YWVUeTNjRWR0UGlZN3ZKUT09.webp?v=1774025431","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/screens-and-veils-maghrebi-womens-cinema-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
