These artist filmmakers were pioneers in the development of intersectional moving image artwork but have been somewhat overlooked compared to future generations of artists dealing with these issues in moving image. The chapter contextualises their work in relation to the period and draw out some of the wider forces that formed their work from second wave Feminism, Punk, Rock against Racism to the race riots and Black Arts in the 1980s that pioneered work exploring Black identity. Specifically this chapter looks at Sankofa films, Alia Syed, Vivienne Dick, Ruth Novaczek and reflects on the wider impact of the cultural studies debates in the 1980s on Diasporic communities in the UK.","PeriodicalId":208331,"journal":{"name":"Women Artists, Feminism and the Moving Image","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128542745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often, the weird and wonderful array of characters played by MacLean serve as ventriloquists for contemporary culture, enabling her to excavate the saccharine surfaces of the popular culture that she presents in order to reveal the more grotesque and disturbing seam running beneath. This chapter focuses on MacLean’s work as a feminist critique, positioning her within a history of women performance artists and considers how the intensive labour of her own performances foregrounds a wider consideration of the ‘work’ of performances of femininity in contemporary culture. Furthermore, it will examine how MacLean’s explorations of marginalised gendered online spaces, and their own existence as a space for the formation and performance of identity, connect to the wider debates around the Internet, utopianism and participatory culture.","PeriodicalId":208331,"journal":{"name":"Women Artists, Feminism and the Moving Image","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124663985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that their work speak in different ways to the material conditions of women’s immaterial labour in neoliberal capitalism. Introducing their work in a context in which ‘[o]ne of the hallmarks of our neoliberal age is precisely the casting of every human endeavour and activity in entrepreneurial terms’ (Rottenberg 2014), I explore what the groups of female ‘labourers’ that appear in their films might tell us about desire, needs and resistance to being subsumed under capitalist exploitation. I argues that while female empowerment is co-opted by neoliberalism, Beech’s and Zaman’s work oscillate between exposing exploitative commodified values and an uncommodified therapeutic pleasure in group experience.","PeriodicalId":208331,"journal":{"name":"Women Artists, Feminism and the Moving Image","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129442042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
