Title :
Film, Women, and History [the author comments on recent Hollywood films set in the Middle Ages and concludes by considering "The Sorceress" as a teaching tool; she believes "The Sorceress" "requires too much distancing to use effectively. That is, it requires too much establishing and counter-arguing to make it work within the usual timeframes constraining our classes." (Page 62)].

Title :
Ideologia, creatività e iconografia nella Chiara di Liliana Cavani [Cavani's representation of Francis and Clare sets them in opposition to medieval hierarchies; she also, contrary to mystical theology, emphasizes Clare's individuality; the film does this, in part by eliminating the miraculous and legendary; Cavani uses Clare to represent the modern world disrupting medieval structures].
