'Menstruation at the Movies': A History of Stigma and Shame from 2000 to 2022

项目简介：这个项目将研究当代电影对月经的表现，使用2000年至2022年发布的好莱坞电影的重点案例研究，以考虑电影如何帮助和阻碍社会和流行文化中月经的非污名化。这项研究将采用一种混合的方法，结合历史和性别、电影和文化研究的理论，并利用文本分析、营销和批评接受分析以及受众研究。由于电影研究中的一波工作挑战了精神分析框架在该学科中的主导地位(Peirse，2020)，十多年来，对电影中月经表现的分析一直未得到充分探索，但有关生殖机构的问题从未远离政治和文化辩论，特别是关于时期贫困的辩论。

Project Synopsis: This project will examine contemporary cinematic representations of menstruation, using focused case studies of Hollywood cinema released from 2000 to 2022, to consider how film helps and hinders the de-stigmatisation of menstruation within society and popular culture. The research will employ a mixed methodology that combines theories from history and gender, film and cultural studies and draws on textual analysis, marketing and critical reception analysis and audience research. Due to a wave of work within film studies that has challenged the previous dominance of psychoanalytical frameworks within the discipline (Peirse, 2020), the analysis of menstrual representation in film has been under-explored for over a decade, but issues regarding the reproductive body have never been far from political and cultural debate, particularly regarding period poverty.
