OverviewRoma people are the minority most frequently portrayed in ex-Yugoslavian films. The dominant ideology of most of the European countries has kept and still keeps Roma people, through ever-present list of negative stereotypes and discrimination, at the lowest level of society. Tendencies of the world cinematography up to the end of the last century were to portray Gypsy women as an exotic element in romantic imaginary settings, avoiding social and political issues like poverty, marginalization and discrimination. In the generalized representations of Roma women in the movies, lies a myth that is based and built on the identity of Roma people, which according to social standards, movie trends and the need of a certain films for a positive or a negative interpretation of the Other, always create repetitive models that are eventually received as universal features. The object of this thesis is to draw attention to the mechanisms of representation of Roma women in ex-Yugoslavian movie director, Aleksandar Petrovic's film I Even Met Happy Gypsies, within the framework of an analysis based mainly upon Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze, as well as various other feminist film theorists Full Product DetailsAuthor: Svetlana SavicPublisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing Imprint: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.60cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.150kg ISBN: 9783659533655ISBN 10: 3659533653 Pages: 96 Publication Date: 16 June 2015 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
