[ecrea] New book: Sofia Coppola: The Politics of Visual Pleasure

New book 'Sofia Coppola: The Politics of Visual Pleasure' is out today 
with Berghahn Books.

It is also available straight to paper back at the price of €19.


Some nice things a few people have said of it:


""This is a forceful and necessary feminist intervention in film theory; 
Anna Backman Rogers brilliantly carves out a space for work that is 
usually marginalized as pretty, as superficial, as ineffable, insisting 
we reckon head-on with the politics of seeing the world through a 
woman's perspective. And she does it in wonderfully straight-talking 
prose that doesn't shy away from controversy, underlining how necessary 
it is to tackle these questions, now more than ever." - Lauren Elkin, 
author of Flâneuse: Women Walk the City in Paris, New York, Tokyo, 
Venice, and London

"This work on Coppola makes a genuinely significant contribution to the 
field of film studies--the writing on The Virgin Suicides is simply the 
best I have read. It is a radical work, in keeping with the radical, 
subversive and beautiful films it does justice to." - Lucy Bolton, Queen 
Mary, University of London

"Anna Backman Rogers has produced a timely, beautifully written, and 
trailblazing account of female authorship and femininity in contemporary 
cinema, full of both conviction and compassion." - Davina Quinlivan, 
Kingston University
