• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

""The Cinematic Life of the Gene" is the best work yet by one of the major feminist film theorists of our time. It is an exhilarating read as well as a fabulous contribution to the crossover area between film theory and science studies."--Lisa Cartwright, author of "Moral Spectatorship: Technologies of Voice and Affect in Postwar Representations of the Child"
