Between Gazes Camelia Elias

postmodernism  yokes together different modes of genre, periods  blends high and low art  plays and challenges the voice of authority  thematizes and challenges grand narratives (love) and universals such as truth and evil (can love last?)  intertextuality  hybridization

feminist/queer postmodernist films  concerned with:  the question of gender  the signification of gender  the spectacularity of gender  postfeminism through the ‘queer’ eye  androgyny

Queen Elizabeth played by Quentin Crisp

agency  “postmodernism does deconstruct, but doesn’t really reconstruct. No feminist is happy with that kind of potential quietism, even if she (or he) approves of the deconstructing impulse: you simply can't stop there. This important issue of agency has become central not only to feminism, of course, but to "queer theory" and to postcolonial theory.”  (Theorizing – Feminism and Postmodernity: A Conversation with Linda Hutcheon (1997) Kathleen O'Grady)

Orlando played by Tilda Swinton

postmodern film and consumerism  the ‘postmodern consumer spectacle’  the commodification of signs (‘Virginia Woolf’, tee-shirts, films, hard rock, sisterhood)  the satisfaction of spectacle  the encouragement of surface identifications (surface as history)  the emergence of subjectivity through the visual

the androgynous mind  the psychological androgyne  balance in the psyche (Woolf):  the socio-psychological androgyne  postmodernism (Lyotard)  the essential androgyne  beyond gender roles  postfeminism (Potter)  the performing androgyne  multiplicity of selves and gender (Butler)

gendered selves  all gendered selves can be read as a series of performances  gender can only be understood inside discourse  gender is always negotiated

Sasha played by Charlotte Valandrey Shelmerdine played by Billy Zane

 “There is no “I” before discourse” (Butler) – or is there?  “Essentialism is a way beyond gender roles” (Potter) – really?  Essentialism is not performative – or is it?

Orlando  gender  arbitrary  performative  essential  history  circular  the past is before us vs future is behind us  form  aphoristic
