In the same period, the pair made six films together. Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen: Towards Counter-Cinema is the first book-length study of their work. Moving across Mulvey and Wollen’s writings and films, it situates their work in a detailed account of the shifting conjunctures in which it was generated. Traversing psychoanalysis, feminism, Marxism and semiotics, it draws on extensive archival research to present an in-depth study of these theorist-filmmakers and the wider field of 1970s British "counter-cinema" UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/9789004752085 ER -
