The (un)speakable FEMININITY in mainstream movies: Jane Campion's The Piano

Abstract

Jane Campion's film The Piano (1993) opens an uncanny space in mainstream movies where cinematic enunciation intersects with the linguistic and psychoanalytic innovations of the last half-century. This article presents a glimpse into the traces (semios) of FEMININITY as latent extra-Symbolic discourse in Campion's film.
