“We were released into the so‐called Western world we knew absolutely nothing about”: Professional experiences of female employees in the Lithuanian Film Industry from the postcolonial point of view
研究立陶宛独立30年间女性电影工作者的专业经历,结合女性主义电影研究与心理学,通过主题分析22位不同年龄和岗位女性的访谈,揭示后苏联时期新旧价值观与全球化冲击下的职业体验。
Abstract In this paper, we investigate the professional experiences of female employees. Furthering ourselves from the textual film analysis prevalent in the Baltic film studies, we turn toward experiences of female film workers by using intermethodological approach, combining feminist film studies and psychology. We are focusing on the 30‐year period of the existence of independent Lithuania, which we understand as a post‐Soviet period, a time after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a postcolonial condition in which the values of the old system meet the new ones influenced by the processes of globalization. Using the method of thematic analysis, we analyze the interviews of 22 women of various age groups working in various positions in the film industry.
