Professor Mulvey’s talk will explore her use of digital technology to remix Hollywood films of the 1950s and will be followed by a screening of her avant-garde classic Riddles of The Sphinx, which she co-directed with Peter Wollen in 1977. Laura Mulvey is responsible for some of the most influential publications in the field of film studies over the past forty-five years, including her 1975 article “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” which remains a foundational text for feminist film theory, and her 2006 book Death 24x a Second, which explored the role new media technologies play in our experience of film.
