The Picture of Abjection Book PDF Summary

"In The Picture of Abjection, Tina Chanter addresses a fundamental problem in film theory by negotiating a middle path between "gaze theory" approaches to film and spectator studies or cultural theory approaches that emphasize the position of the viewer. Chanter argues that abjection is the unthought ground of fetishistic theories. By mobilizing a theory of abjection, the book shows how the appeal to phallic, fetishistic theories continues to deify the hegemonic categories of race, class, sexuality, and gender, as if they stood as self-evident." -- Publisher.
