[Commlist] New Book - Exposing Vulnerability

Intellect is delighted to announce the publication of /Exposing 
Vulnerability <http://www.intellectbooks.com/exposing-vulnerability>/ by 
Adriana Dancus.

This book explores the diversity of perspectives afforded by the 
emerging body of Scandinavian films produced by women. The author 
focuses on women filmmakers' use of their own vulnerability in 
representing Scandinavian experiences with globally relevant 
contemporary issues such as race, gender, mental illness, bullying and 
the trauma of migration, and highlights the frictions between the 
positive and negative manifestations of such vulnerability. Though 
Scandinavia is reputed for its ambitious and innovative film tradition, 
film scholarship has largely ignored women’s bold contributions to the 
canon./Exposing Vulnerability/ is a cultural and socio-political 
analysis of contemporary film by Scandinavian women as they use their 
lives and work to reconfigure the cinematic, the political and the ethical.
