Clever Girl: Jurassic Park by Hannah McGregor (English) Paperback Book

Description: Clever Girl by Hannah McGregor Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Clever Girl by Hannah McGregor examines the most famous of dinosaur movies, Jurassic Park, and its treatment of the films all-female dinosaur population, their connection to the fear of female monstrosity, and how they loom as figures of chaotic otherness. Publisher Description The Jurassic Park series is one of the most famous and profitable movie franchises of all time - an entire generation of people has never known life without these CGI dinosaurs. The movie spectacle broke film and merchandising records, pioneered special effects, and made Jeff Goldblum into an unlikely sex symbol, and now it has also been re-envisioned as a classic of queer feminist storytelling. In Clever Girl, Hannah McGregor argues that the female-only dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are stand-ins for monstrous women, engineered by men to be intelligent, violent, and adaptive, and whose chaos resists the systems designed to control them. As they run wild through their prison, a profit-driven theme park, they destroy the men and structures who mistakenly believed in their own colonialist and capitalist power, showing the audience what it means to be angry, monstrous, and free. The velociraptors were not just jump scares for children, but also revelatory and predatory symbols of feminist rage. Clever girls, indeed.
