I reinterpret some of her best known films, but also focus attention on other less familiar works that merit further consideration. I reassess individual works with the goal of interrogating Varda's visual dialogues to reconstruct the cultural politics of the periods in which they were made. This process of reading new strands of meaning across Varda's oeuvre relies on a richly interdisciplinary approach. The result is a new cultural history of Varda and her work that makes clear how she actively engaged and subtly broadened some of the most advanced aesthetic and political discourse of her day. Many of Varda's sophisticated commentaries on controversial issues of her time have receded from view in the biographical frameworks in which her work often has been considered. The range of her engagement in her work with cinema, art history, photography, and visual culture has not been fully recognized. This decontextualization of Varda's work has been compounded by the frequent emphasis on her exceptionality within her fields of practice. In contrast, I view Varda's work as a projection of cultural history that illuminates multiple disciplines, including art history, cinema studies, visual culture, and modern French history."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Varda, AgneÌs, $d 1928- $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors $z France $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a New wave films $z France $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Feminism and motion pictures $z France. 776 08 $i Online version: $a DeRoo, Rebecca J., author. $t AgneÌs Varda between film, photography, and art. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2018] $z 9780520968202 $w (DLC) 2017011585 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018022000.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403020456.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C30A5DB8F11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
