| Popis | In her comparative reading of the representation of female characters in Raymond Chandler's original crime novels and their adaptation to film, "Chandler's Spider Women: Female Criminality from Page to Screen", Veronika Pituková denaturalizes criminal patterns based on gender as built in these representations. By conveying how the film versions from the 1940s through the 1970s added new dimensions to the representations of women and their crimes (while overlooking and simplifying Chandler's original characters), Pituková shows that these representations upheld discourses of masculinity that necessarily silenced women. |
