In your hands
Told from three different perspectives, this sweeping saga begins in 1935 Portugal, in the grip of Salazar's authoritarian regime, where upper-class Jenny enters into an uncommon marriage with the beguiling Antâonio. Keeping up appearances, they host salons for the political and cultural elite. In private, Jenny, Antâonio, and his lover, Pedro, share a guarded triangle, build a profound relationship, and together raise a daughter born under the auspices of rebellion. Thirty years later, their daughter, Camila, a photojournalist who has captured the revolutionary fervor and tragic loss of her family--and country--reminisces about a long-lost love in Southeast Africa. This memory shapes the future of her daughter, Natâalia, a successful architect, who begins an impassioned quest of her own. As she navigates Portugal's complex past, Natâalia will discover herself in the two women whose mysteries and intimate intrigues have come to define her. Through revealing journals, snapshots of a turbulent era, and private letters, the lives of three generations of women unfold, embracing all that has separated them and all that binds them--their strength, their secrets, and their search for love through the currents of change.--publisher website.
Book
Hear Me with Your Eyes
Hear Me with Your Eyes examines the intrusion of the voice
into the cinematographic gaze and the intersections (and ruptures)
of the sound-image in Argentine women filmmakers from a feminist
perspective. In different ways, Maria Luisa Bemberg, Lita Stantic,
Lucrecia Martel, Albertina Carri, Maria Victoria Menis, Lucia
Puenzo, Sabrina Farji, Paula de Luque, Anahi Berneri, Sandra
Gugliotta, and Gabriela David explore the visual realm through the
continuities, intrusions, irrelevancies, harmonies, and
desynchronizations of the voice. Or, instead, they explore
different voices and their modulations, including whispers,
screams, singing, echoes, breathing, resonance, sighs, and the
transcendent voice, the narrative voice, the silenced voice, the
articulated and unarticulated voice, and that which is none of the
above. These voices suggest another relationship with the
audiovisual realm, one that seems to include a closeness that
erases, if only intermittently, the unalterable relationship
between subject and object that characterizes the patriarchal
visual regime.
