Abstract

Welcome to the first issue of Studies in Australasian Cinema for 2019. This issue comprises two articles which deal with the paradoxical themes at work in politicised representations of gender and sexuality. In ‘Riding in cars as girls: discourses of victimhood, power and agency in Beneath Clouds and American Honey’, Samantha Cater places Australian film Beneath Clouds in a relationship with the US road movie American Honey. In doing so, the article foregrounds the overlapping themes of passivity, victimisation and objectification of young women on the one hand, and notions of resilience agency and selfdetermination on the other. Likewise, in charting the visibility of gay and lesbian representation/production in Australian film in the 1970s, Jessie Matheson’s ‘“about gays by gays”: The politics of representation in early Australian gay film culture, 1971–1982’, reveals the twin imperatives of developing queer film culture: challenging and subversive, on the one hand, but bound in many ways by aesthetic and industrial demands of acceptability and intelligibility. As always, please enjoy this issue of Studies in Australasian Cinema.

欢迎收看2019年第一期《澳大拉西亚电影研究》。本期包括两篇文章，涉及性别和性的政治化表现中的矛盾主题。萨曼莎·卡特（Samantha Cater）在《女孩乘车：在《乌云之下》（Underground Clouds）和《美国蜜》（American Honey）中对受害者、权力和代理的论述中，将澳大利亚电影《乌云之下。在这样做的过程中，这篇文章一方面强调了年轻女性的被动、受害和物化，另一方面则强调了韧性代理和自决的概念。同样，在20世纪70年代澳大利亚电影中男女同性恋代表/制作的可见性图表中，Jessie Matheson的“关于同性恋者的故事”：澳大利亚早期同性恋电影文化中的代表政治，1971–1982”揭示了发展酷儿电影文化的双重必要性：一方面是挑战性的，但在许多方面受到审美和工业对可接受性和可理解性的要求的约束。一如既往，请欣赏本期《澳大拉西亚电影研究》。
