This second edition, ten years after the first, continues the assessment of these films and the discourse they provoke. Included is a new chapter about women-directed rape-revenge films, a phenomenon that--revitalized since #MeToo exploded in late 2017--is a filmmaking tradition with a history that transcends a contemporary context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Featuring both famous and unknown movies, controversial and widely celebrated filmmakers, as well as rape-revenge cinema from around the world, this revised edition demonstrates that diverse and often contradictory treatments of sexual violence exist simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the first edition\u003c\/b\u003e: \"fascinating\"—\u003ci\u003eDread Central\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"impressive...will stand the test of time as an integral reference for anyone interested in the genre\"—\u003ci\u003eSpectacular Optical\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the Second Edition\t1\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\t9\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: The Rape-Revenge Film Canon\t25\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: The Rape-Revenge Film Across Genres\t55\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: The ­Rape-Revenge Film Around the World\t97\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Women-Directed Rape-Revenge Films\t152\u003cbr\u003eAfterword\t175\u003cbr\u003eChapter Notes\t179\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\t191\u003cbr\u003eIndex\t197","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040497697111,"sku":"9781476686493","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476686493.jpg?v=1750946936","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/raperevenge-films-9781476686493","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
