- Title
SNOW ON THE OEDIPAL STAGE.
- Authors
De Lauretis, Teresa
- Abstract
In this article, the author raises some important questions for feminist film practice. The author starts from an examination of the film "Presents," directed by Michael Snow. She demonstrates how even a radical cinema such as "Presents" produces and breaks a nexus of look and identification in relation to the traditionally sexually undifferential spectator. She argues that the question of the modalities of spectatorship available to women should not be confined to the demonstration of the absence of such positions, nor move from that to affirmative action which asserts simply a different feminist position.
