'Film and Female Consciousness' explores the representation of female consciousness on-screen and demonstrates the ways in which the thought of Luce Irigaray can be used to address the traditional problems of the objectification of women in cinema as outlined by feminist theory since the 1970s. LUCY BOLTON is Associate Lecturer in the Film Studies department at QueenMary, University of London UK. She has published several articles and book chapters on film philosophy and stardom and is the co-editor (with Christina Siggers Manson) of 'Italy on Screen: National Identity and Italian Imaginary' (2010).
