The article focuses on feminism in relation to the motion picture "Almost Famous." The gaze of the writer, as an overarching framework for this film, reconfigures, counters and stabilizes the representations of women and their power. The male gaze as truth seeker in Almost Famous, works to uphold the binaries of mind and body, with its appeal to objectivity. Not without some slippage, some nod to the possibility for the subjective, but only enough to remain tenable. Ultimately, however, the film positions women as, if not wholly powerless and dependent, then at lease constructs them in relation to the male as the true locus of power. In so doing, Almost Famous reproduces dominant themes about literacy, specifically writers and writing. |
