摘要

Abstract

In postmodern cinema

male directors offer divergent interpretations of female identity. Taking Raewyn Connell's theory of (hegemonic) masculinity

Judith Butler's concept of gender performativity

and the discourse of cancel culture as theoretical touchstones

this article examines how female figures—constructed within the perspective of male directors and shaped by an internalized patriarchal logic—are formed. By unpacking these constructions

it reflects on the current impasse that hinders postmodern female representation from breaking free of the gender binary and achieving genuine awakening.
