520 "The femme Fatale takes a long view on the figure of the
femme fatale, exploring her style, language, and stories
from silent cinema to contemporary television. Author
Julie Grossman provides a history of some of this dynamic
figure's eruptions in film, TV, and culture generally,
exploring the notions of female ambition, frustration, and
intelligence that undergird the power and fascination of
the femme fatale across time and media. We see how the
fatal woman often mediates contradictory views on women's
lives and their desire to gain fulfillment in a hostile or
otherwise challenging environment. Embodied by some of the
most charismatic female performers in Hollywood history,
from Theda Bara and Barbara Stanwyck to Hedy Lamarr, Reese
Witherspoon, and Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh, the femme
fatale remains an active source of pleasure and
subversion. Femmes Fatales pays particular attention to
performance not only as a prominent feature of these
works' production-established in part through references
to studio press books and popular reviews--but also as a
theme within the narrative (in, for example, the idea of
the deceitful, untrustworthy, or "performing" woman).
Focusing on expressive moments and scenes in texts that
are celebrated and also those that are lesser known, this
volume attends to the variety, trauma, wit, and
transgressions of the femme fatale, emphasizing how this
figure continually provokes us to reflect on rigid
conventions and social roles. Femmes Fatales generates
questions and analysis that speak to why stories about
gender and criminality featuring tough and smart women are
so endlessly thrilling"--|cProvided by publisher
