'The Occupied Body: Women in Ukrainian and Russian War Feature Films'
Irina Schulzki, research assistant at the University of Hagen, Germany, publishing director of the Apparatus, Film, Media, and Digital Cultures in Central and Eastern Europe. Author of articles on contemporary film, literature, and media.
The lecture concerns feature films made by women filmmakers from Ukraine and Russia (2009-2022) by focusing on the trope of the occupied female body—coerced, abused, raped, killed, tortured, colonized, impregnated—as an intersection of bare life, state power, interiorization of trauma, and potential resistance.
