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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKay Armatage\u003c\/b\u003e is Chair, Graduate Programme in Women's Studies, University of Toronto. \u003cb\u003eKass Banning\u003c\/b\u003e teaches Cinema Studies at the University of Toronto. \u003cb\u003eBrenda Longfellow\u003c\/b\u003e is a filmmaker and an associate professor at Atkinson College, York University. \u003cb\u003eJanine Marchessault\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor and Canada Research Chair in Art, Digital Media, and Globalization in the Faculty of Fine Arts at York University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.97 x 9.1 x 6.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 26, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47877573869789,"sku":"9780802079640","price":84.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/53__I0JmuH9780802079640.webp?v=1777884749","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/gendering-the-nation-canadian-womens-cinema-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
