Críticas:

"De Lauretis's work is stimulating, innovative, and groundbreaking. Readers from a wide range of audiences will be grateful to have in a single volume the works of one of the most important feminist theorists working today." --Judith Mayne, Distinguished Humanities Professor, French and women's studies, Ohio State University "This is crucial work. What we find here is a scholar at the top of her form paying attention to her field, in its broadest contours and attempting to make sense of it at a key moment of transition. In terms of feminist writing on cinema, there is nobody else in de Lauretis's league." --B. Ruby Rich, author of Chick Flicks: Theories and Memories of the Feminist Film Movement
