Synopsis "Frances"

1941, Virginia When Frances and Cecil meet, neither of them expects their attraction to be as deep as it is. Frances wasn't looking for a boyfriend, but there's something about Cecil that makes her think he's the one she might want to spend the rest of her life with.Then she meets Cecil's mother, who treats her poorly because she's not only a factory girl, but also the daughter of a tenant farmer. Hurt and angry, Frances knows she has to make a choice. Will she keep him-and his spiteful mother-in her life, or will she move on?Frances isn't sure what to do. However, with the young men of the United States being drafted for World War II in large numbers, she might not have long to decide and tell Cecil her decision in person.Will Frances give their love a chance or will she say goodbye?

She is one of the most prominent exponents of feminism and current critical theory. Educated amidst the struggles for civil rights and against the Vietnam War, she approaches philosophy and politics in an unorthodox way, disciplines she teaches at the New School for Social Research in New York. From this perspective, she integrates into her research a rereading of a vast library –ranging from Gramsci to the first generation of the Frankfurt School, deconstruction, Bourdieu, and Foucault– to propose critiques of inequality and exploitation that do not become functional to prevailing neoliberalism, but rather are rooted in a block of struggle for genuine economic and social justice. A lecturer and Honorary Doctor at major centers in Europe and America, she is the author of influential books such as Feminism for the 99%, Interrupted Iustitia, and Scales of Justice. Her current courses explore texts by Karl Marx (Gründisse) or Walter Benjamin, in addition to the relationship between capitalism, nature, and critique.
