About听
Ellie is currently completing her PhD under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Webber and funded by the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 Trust. Her project investigates to what extent Weimar-era films can be viewed as feminist, and what value they might have to feminism and gender studies. She is particularly interested in the role performance plays in the films, and to what extent performance is subversive. Her research considers, amongst other elements, comedy, the carnivalesque, dance, make-up, doubling and the exotic. The most crucial aspect of her approach is the tension between image and narrative, and whether images can work against the narrative in which they appear, and be subversive images of emancipation.
