Description

Motorheadbangers, the official fan club for rock giants, Motorhead, has never stopped. Like the band on tour, in the studio and playing live to audiences across the world, Motorheadbangers, through its stalwart fan base, has matched the band's enthusiasm to keep going against all the odds. Since the first fanzine the fan club membership has written of their experiences at seeing and meeting one of the greatest rock n roll bands in the world. In this way, Motorhead's history has been catalogued. However, the majority of those fanzines have long been out of print.

Reviews

Gentile defines here the role of critical subjectivity for the feminist spectator, examining how contradictions in women's films provide a key for understanding women's oppression. In Part I, Gentile acknowledges that her approach is founded on Jacques Lacan's and Louis Alhusser's theories regarding ideology and subjectivity. She argues that her ideas are not a departure--but are rather a development--of the classial film theories of Andre Bazin and Sergei Eisenstein. Part 2 consists of four case studies or textual readings. ... Invaluable bibliography, and a helpful list of film credits and distributors. Upper division undergraduate and graduate readership.-Choice
