Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies Claire Mouflard is the co-editor of Gender in French Banlieue Cinema: Intersectional Perspectives, published recently by Lexington Books.
The volume, co-edited with Marzia Caporale and Habib Zanzana from the University of Scranton, is the first to investigate post-2000 French banlieue (periurban) cinema through an intersectional lens. Some interpretive axes and areas of critical investigation include toxic masculinity, hypermasculinity, female identity at the intersection of gender, age, race, and socioeconomic status, queer identities and spaces, sexual politics, patriarchal dominance, and artistic expression as a form of resistance.
