- Description
- Shafik examines popular and commercial movies from Egypt's film industry, including a number of the biggest box-office hits widely distributed in Egypt and the Arab world, against the backdrop of the country's overall socio-political development, from the emergence of the film industry in the 1930s, through the Nasser and Sadat eras, up to the era of globalization. Examined themes include: gender relations, feminism, Islamism and popular ideas about sexuality and morality. Focusing on representations of religious and ethnic minorities, primarily Copts, Jews, and Nubians, Shafik draws out issues such as the formation of the Egyptian nation, cinematic stereotyping and political and social taboos.

- Description
- The study challenges received understandings, arguing that the period was marked by social unease and anxiety about gender roles and femininity. British cinema produced ambiguous messages about feminine identities and the role of women. Marginalized figures, such as prostitutes, criminals and femmes fatales, are analysed and the themes of sexuality, marriage and female friendship addressed. The author examines how British popular cinema imagined and constructed femininity. She describes how new ideas and understandings of femininity entered the cultural imagery. Films with proto-feminist ideas are presented and recognized as important representations of new forms of femininity.
