<P><EM>Classical Hollywood Cinema, Sexuality, and the Politics of the Face</EM> examines the representation of iconic female faces in the golden age of Hollywood ¿ Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, Elizabeth Taylor ¿ and the gay male fetishization of those faces.<BR> Classical Hollywood cinema is given to an aesthetic and ideological struggle between rival scopic economies: an erotics of ¿to-be-looked-at-ness¿ is countered by a hermeneutics of ¿to-be-seen-through-ness.¿ The latter emerges triumphant, but the legendary female faces of Hollywood resist, in their different ways, a coercive and normalizing knowledge, which is the source of the gay male investment in them.
