Description
The question concerns Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon (1943). Write a few short paragraphs on Corrigan and White’s proposal that “Meshes of the Afternoon could be said to enact a woman’s desires, fears, and struggles to escape domestic confinement” (page 319). [the second video lecture for Week 11 includes some slides on Corrigan and White’s ideas.] Can you describe a specific moment or two from Meshes of the Afternoon that support (or perhaps challenge) Corrigan and White’s ideas about the film? Be as precise as you can in describing the film. In writing your description, use complete, grammatically correct sentences.
