Lecturer Florence Jacobowitz, who has worked within the Department of Communications & Media, as well as the Department of Humanities, has published a new book entitled Isabelle Huppert, Modernist Performance that looks at the work of French actress Isabelle Huppert. She argues that the actress’s oeuvre constitutes one of the most significant feminist bodies of work to have emerged in the wake of the second wave of the women's movement, a period of intense social change. The book demonstrates this through performing close readings of the actress’s performances.
