Abstract
Experiment of Writing in the Film The Pillow Book: Analyzing Third World Women’s Gender/National Subjectivity,” indicates that the subversion of writing, gender, and national subjectivity are closely related because women from the East are usually exploited or their image is distorted and reduced to that of an exotic sexual plaything in Hollywood films. Regarding film narratives, The Pillow Book overcomes the limited choice of writing materials. Moreover, women become writers and escape the fate of being passively written on like paper in this film. By choosing to be a pen themselves, women claim the power of active writing. This paper aims to analyze the gender/national subjectivity in the film from Third World Feminism’s point of view.
