Baboulene-Miellou, Natacha. ""Et Dieu. . . Créa la femme" : femmes rêvées, femmes inventées : de quelques manières de créer « la » femme." Paris, EHESS, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012EHES0500.
Full textWhen we evoke the myth of Pygmalion, we think of the history of this sculptor, who thanks to the intervention of the goddess of love, sees his statue of ivory taking life. However if we include in all the details the narrative of Ovide, we notice that it is the sculptor by his art whom animates the creature, Venus only perfecting the metamorphosis. It's that process of creation of an ideal woman by an artist, while operating on the basis of a projection of his desire on the feminine body that I choose to study here. For that purpose, I put in perspective several domains of creation (paint, sculpture, literature, but also cinema and fashion design) with the founding myth, to analyze the various methods in the "manufacturing" or "designing" of a woman and her image by an artist, as well as the relation which unites them. This research joins the very wide field of anthropology of the body and the image between several disciplines (art history, literature, ethnology, sociology). The meticulous analysis of the creative process in each of the domains studied, beyond the peculiarity of each creation, reveals a continuity in the configuration of the creative act. Even with the breach introduced by the technical reproductibility of the images, this continuity is not quectionned. Although the process can at first come down to two models distinguishing on one hand, a manufacturing process established on home-made means, and of the other hand, basing on industrial processes, the creative act sends back move widely to a model of creation in chain where the creature becomes every time a model for a new creation

Full textThis PhD dissertation centers on women's participation and representation in Romanian cinema, as a means of understanding the multiple social, economic and institutional stakes intervening in the renewal of the Romanian film industry in the early 21st century. Our research focuses on the post-communist era, when the Romanian film production falls into its most critical state, before achieving unprecedented international recognition. We articulate our analysis around three chronological moments, aiming to perceive how social and historical ruptures and continuities pervade the treatment of female characters on screen and the women's presence in the film industry. We aim our attention at the New Romanian cinema of the 2000's. By tracing the genealogy of this « new cinema », we concentrate on the shaping of female characters in both auteur and commercial Romanian cinema. We illustrate the primary grounds conducing to the rise and consolidation of this renewed film industry by observing the career paths of Romanian female filmmakers
Petty, Sheila. "La femme dans le cinéma d'Afrique noire." Paris 4, 1987. http://www.theses.fr/1987PA040221.
Full textThe aim of this study is to assess the role of women in black african film. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part is devoted to an analysis of women's participationin the film industry in Africa. There are very few female filmmakers and technicians and no femaleproducers. Female role models presented by filmmakers result from a deisre to educate the spectator. Interviews with both actresses and spectators suggest that film production in black west Africa is yet too weak to foster female filmmakers and stars. The second part of the thesis examines the representation of women in visual and auditory (language, noise, music) images. Using antithetic images, directors contrast traditional and modern female stereotypes

Among them : how she is used at different stages in her life or how she is seen in movies dating from the twenties to the present. In other respects this thesis will apply itself to studying her prevailing role as a sexual symbol and the importance of such a factor as female beauty and this, through various remarks and examples

Full textThree volumes on the image and setting of woman in Jean Renoir's work. First, from the life of Renoir (his relations with his mother Aline Charigot, his nurse Gabrielle and his two wives) the author analyses the feminine characters by their social inscriptions (young maiden, wives and mothers, prostitutes, nurses,. . . ). The analysis is after an attempt to settle a definition of woman's space in films and an approach of relations between food-wound and sex. Some statistics and analyses of 76 sequences and fragments follow the study. The last volume is a quasi-exhaustive bibliography of Jean Renoir's work
Benjelloun, Touimi Fatima-Zahra. "La représentation des femmes dans les films de Woody Allen." Paris 10, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA100080.
Full textThis dissertation focuses on the representation of women in Woody Allen's movies. Its aims is to enlighten the contradictory nature of this representation by linking it to the irony in which Allen's film texts are steeped. A textual analysis aims at to bringing out the configurations at work in this representation which produce contradictory meanings, providing an understanding of how feminity is constructed but also subverted in Woody Allen's movies. Part one studies the influence of some extra-textuel elements (the sociocultural context, the filmmaker's work methods and the extra-cinematic image of the actresses) on the representation of women. In part two, the parody as a textual system is examined as it enlightens the ambiguity of Allen's comedies towards the sexual stereotypes they perpetuate while maintaining significant critical distance. Part three focuses on two categories of films -the first category tending to curb (but not stifle) the sexual desire of its heroine, the second one disclosing the female protagonist's intimate desires while keeping them at bay- and highlights the contradictory nature of the representation of women's desire, with regard to the representation of the female body. Finally, part four analyses the process through which the new melodramas portray female protagonists as conscious individuals and talented artists while maintaining their status as victims. It underlines the thematic and iconographic motifs that back and nuance the ideological message of these films that emerges as the victory over disorder through the sacrifice of the mother-daughter relationship

This artistic breakthrough irtfluenced the new generation of filmmakers who will be as soon as 1995 at the origin of the renewal of national cinematograph y through New Argentini an Films. This study deals with the integration of female filmmakers in Ibero-American Cinematography since the beginning of the twentieth century insisting on these two highlights of the history of cinema. This work is an analysis of the thematic and aesthetic contribution of five contemporary Argentinian female film producers. Their feature films offer subversive representations of gender identity on screen

Full textThis thesis focuses on the role of French film producers as central figures in the production process of each film. Notwithstanding their important contribution, film producers are largely forgotten in the history of the seventh art and little known to the general public, the studies having focused more on actresses, screenwriters and directors. It is precisely this lack that the present research proposes to fill by exploring the careers, the motivations, the difficulties encountered and the daily life of the French film producers, by highlighting what they brought, by showing how they made to evolve the profession of producer and in particular how much they influenced the economy of the cinema and shaped, by their work, our imagination. Our analysis is articulated in three stages, in order to understand the process that has favored the advent of women in French film production since the Nouvelle Vague until today. The project to enhance the role of producers not only reveals a part of the history of the seventh art, but also to ask the question of film production declined to the feminine at the heart of the reflection on the work. Our thesis aims to reveal, through the words, actions and management of producers, the history of the seventh art through a new perspective, to better understand the cultural reality and its contradictions. It is certain that there can be no question of the history of cinema without these women
Bargach, Selma. "Le statut et le rôle de la femme dans le cinéma marocain." Paris 1, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA010611.
Full text40 years after independence, Moroccan cinema continues to face numerous challenge due to the absence of an economic foundation and judicial status, the poor national production is inconsistent, creating a situation of extreme crisis. Directors are unceasingly drawing upon subject matters full of suffering ; these subjects address issues from ponderous daily life routine that develops into problematic cultural identity. The most prevalent subject is therefore an individual that is constrained in an ossified traditional society in which woman portray women's condition. After the colonisation period, cinema, throughout its evolution has introduced a trend in which women's role and status have been more considered. A status that depicts a more accurate picture which is supplied by director's experiences, often censured
Le, Caïnec Yola. "Le féminin dans le cinéma de Georges Cukor de 1950 à 1981." Thesis, Paris 3, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA030178/document.
Full textIn the early fifties, Cukor's work challenges his own reputation as a director of sophisticated women films — a reputation he had acquired during the thirties, culminating with Women in 1939. His films increasingly center on presenting the feminine during post-war years. In 1950, Cukor directs a romantic social comedy, Born Yesterday and a social drama A Life of Her Own : both narrate a female destiny and link up drama and the feminine in a positive manner. In these films, women are taking responsibility for the action and articulate the motivations for their liberation, for example through solidarity. The turn from the fifties to the sixties confirms that the feminine, seen here as a confused gender (Judith Butler) and Cukor's cinema interact in a modern way creating a liberating distance his seventies film and up to the filmmaker's last film, Rich and Famous (1981). Some imaginary and nearly experimental new cinematic forms (Gaston Bachelard), notably in terms of mise-en-scène and acting, turn out to be particularly representative of Cukor's work. As opposed to comedies that purport to emancipate women from their destiny by upsetting social and behavioral attitudes, Cukor’s female centered drama films show emancipation through the emergence of female characters who take their life into their hands. Hence a false paradox: Cukor may develop commonplace characters, yet the complexity of his actresses’ direction puts their talent to the test and questions a certain representation of women's position in society
Fleckinger, Hélène. "Cinéma et vidéo saisis par par le féminisme (France, 1968-1981)." Thesis, Paris 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA030188.
Full textMay 1968 in France opens the way to a renewal of a cinema of social and political intervention that most often adopts a documentary form. Two years later, the Women's Liberation Movement a "new feminism" emerges and invites women to fight against their own oppression and for a freedom of choice with matters regarding their body and their sexuality. This thesis proposes to study the relations forged between cinema, video and feminism between 1968 and 1981 in France, both historically and aesthetically, in terms of production/distribution practices and film forms. In what ways has the camera been invested with the task of accompanying and popularizing feminist struggles ? What has the impact of feminism been in the field of cinema and video ? A look at a rich, diverse and little known body of films allows us to trace this complex history and to show that, as a powerful anti¬establishment and direct action instrument, the camera imposes itself as a preferred means of expression and creativity in women's search for an individual and collective identity. The first part addresses the sudden development of the "woman question" in a militant cinema that reconfigures itself after May 1968 : the opening of a specific feminist coalition within a cinema that was mostly oriented towards class struggle reveals itself as very limited and sometimes antagonistic. The second part questions the appearance of an autonomous feminist practice by women that takes a political approach to self-representation in the field of video activism. Here, taking hold of the camera is a response to a political need to speak out and to reappropriate their body and their sexuality through the image. Beyond the hard core of militant films, the third part examines the uses and the feminist politics of cinema. In particular, it puts "women's cinema" to the test in terms of feminism in order to closely examine its theories and practices
Heishman, Emma. "Disremembered and unaccounted for : the symbolic annihilation of women from slavery cinema." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018AIXM0427.
Full textSymbolic annihilation is a sociological theory developed by George Gerbner (1972) and Gaye Tuchman (1978) in their studies of gender and media. According to the theory of symbolic annihilation, the lack of images and/or the misrepresentation of a group of people can cause damaging consequences for spectators. Gerber and Tuchman studied the erasure of women in media, but their research also concentrated on the marginalization and condemnation of female characters. Symbolic annihilation has been used by other researchers to study images of minorities in the media, but this dissertation offers a new perspective on the symbolic annihilation of women by focusing on the specific historical event of slavery in the American South. Although the theory of symbolic annihilation has been used in previous research to examine visual (mis)representations of minorities, the addition of this historical element makes this dissertation unique. Indeed, through the study of cinematic images of American slavery, this research addresses how the cultural-historical identity of American women has been significantly constructed by mass media. Furthermore, the current socio-political situation in the United States makes this research particularly relevant. Social movements which publicly denounce the whitewashing of Hollywood productions and the overt sexual assault that has permeated the movie industry have clearly demonstrated the particular power Hollywood yields in shaping the fabric of American society
Mamiko, Masuda. "Le regard des femmes cinéastes sur la femme dans la société française contemporaine : fonction du discours cinématographique féminin dans les films d'Agnès Varda, Chantal Akerman et Catherine Corsini." Thesis, Paris 8, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA080018/document.
Full textClassic films have created a stereotypical image of women by setting deterministic standards for female personality, her role and what is meant by ‘being a woman’. These standards might supplant reality, as they minimize the diversity of female figures. Feminism has long fought against gender stereotypes. This study examines films by Agnès Varda, Chantal Akerman and Catherine Corsini in order to understand the construction of femininity through intimate and social relations. In their films, each filmmaker develops unique approaches to produce images of the female body and its subjectivity. Psychoanalysis sheds light on the questions of female subjectivity related to the notions of desire, pleasure, and sexuality. It allows us to appreciate the mechanism of the camera arousing the viewers’ fantasies, as well as the possibility of a positive objectification of the complex female figure. This study first focuses on the relationships between women, such as the mother-daughter relationship and the homosexual relationship. It then explores the socio-cultural context in which the female characters live through an analysis of language, narration and space in the films, namely the filmmakers’ styles, aesthetics and narrative choices in the life of women. It examines how gender can influence the camera’s perspective and how it can question, or even produce, a new female subjectivity. Psychoanalysis, feminism, queer theory, semiology and aesthetics are all approaches which support and expand the analyses of female perspective as developed by the three women filmmakers

Full textThe work of Antonioni is a fertile field to study landscape in cinematographic art. This study focuses on Antonioni's cinematographic disorientation, from Blow up (1966) to its come-back in Italy with Identification of a woman (1982). My work aims at showing the importance of a changing and cineplastic vision of landscape which integrates the question of editing, motion (of image and inside the image itself), in order to highlight the rhythmic, metamorphic and plastic strenghts of the image-landscape in the cinema. Having shown these strenghts, I intend to interrogate the question of landscape from the notion of disorientation. Disorientation represents an operating materiel to think the cinematographic image, its deterritorialisation, its motion. Disorientating landscape in Antonioni's work leads to a dialogue with art history, which implies to rethink the major aesthethic questions of the 20th century (from abstraction to informal art, by Land-Art and performance) in the context of a cinematographic study. The question of disorientation requires new tools to rethink landscape in the cinema. I suggest to name « inter-landscape » the constitution of a landscape which integrates peculiar to image in its plastic processes relying on notions suchs as interval and inter-images. A cinematographic « inter-landscape », as can be define from the work of Antonioni, offers a plastic mobilisation of the image-landscape which allows to interrogate, in turn, contemporary artistic practice
Chakroun, Olfa. "Sensualité et séparation des sexes dans le cinéma Tunisien." Thesis, Paris 1, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA01H319/document.
Full textThe various taboos in the contact between the sexes in Muslim culture lead to questioning the relationship between the moral and institutional foundations and the representation of sensuality on the screen. The evolution of the expression of sensuality in Tunisian cinema is atypical: it evolved from a permissive regime in the 1960s to a regime of restrictions and prohibitions. The paradoxes of this evolution are that the liberal discourse has disappeared. The central problem is the relation of man's possession to the feminine nude, and, in an ancillary manner, his approach to sensuality, eroticism, and ail that touches, near or far; the contact. The separation of the sexes is filled by voyeurism, which takes as its object a feminine world fantasized and sometimes menacing. The dramatic axis that determines the cinematographic treatment of sensuality is the spatial and social separation of the sexes. What is meant by sensuality in a system of separation of the sexes? Sensuality is the pleasure itself, passing by the look, the touch and by the appearance. How is this sensuality allowed or not allowed? The phenomenon of the separation of the sexes relative to the Tunisian society is marked in the body itself by means of the distinction and the types of behaviors required on both sides. The inter-self of the gender can slip towards heavily allusive homosexual themes

Full textThis dissertation reconsiders the representation of women in Claude Lanzmann's Shoah. While Lanzmann's documentary established a new paradigm for the limits of representation - which, as I demonstrate, contrasts with the visual presence of women in Holocaust films before Shoah -feminist readings have persisted in decrying the limited visual presence of women in the film Shifting the value from the image to the voice, I make a case for the cinematic significance GJ absence by mapping the acoustic spectrum which renders women present despite their invisibility. I argue that Shoah is traversed by the voices of women — both spoken and remembered. Vocal representations of women thus trace a path toward the unrepresentable image that haunts the film in its entirety: death itself. In Shoah, women tread between the image and its absence: the testimonies of the four women survivors in the film, which culminate in an untranslated song in Yiddish; the appearance and disappearance of the interpreters (all women), whose voices weave through the film pointing to the displacement of one language to another and to what is irreparably lost in translation the men who remember women — and their words — inside the gas chambers. Probing this intimacy of image and absence, I have been led to study the film's outtakes ; the most outstanding feature of these interviews is the ever-unstated but always present choices that constitute the film as it stands, but are themselves both unseen and unvoiced; any critical reflection on the film must concern itself with its making — that is, the arbitration between visibility and invisibility, presence and absence, montage and archive

Full textThis thesis gives a detailed study of the relationships between men and women in Quebecois most popular movies. Building on the feminist film theories (identification theories), gender studies and cultural studies, the thesis tries to make sense of two phenomena: the overrepresentation of men compared with women in the Quebecois most popular movies and the discrepancy in the representation of the status of women in films, traditional and confined to the private space, lagging “behind” the more emancipated and equitable status that they have in the social universe of Quebec. The thesis proposes to study the cinematographic staging of men and women. The argument is divided into four parts, which correspond to the four sites of the construction of masculinity in Quebecois most popular movies: the relationship between men and, respectively, the heroic figure, the father, the couple, and the friends (gang de chums). The work consists of a stylistic analysis of the main emblematic films of masculinity, focusing on the narrative device and the narrative perspective and voice. Mots-clés: Quebecois popular movies, masculinity, masculinocentrism, feminism, narrative perspective, Gender Theory, Cultural Studies and Identification Theory.

Full textThe present thesis is a study of contemporary Brazilian cinema focused on the constitution of female gazes. This study is based on film analysis and aims to describe an aesthetic model in opposition to the dominant (male) gaze that structures the majority of film production. It develops a perspective that distinguishes itself from classical feminist theory, by means of a shift in focus from the historically consecrated pair of opposites (masculine versus feminine) to an emphasis on what films offer as indications pointing to new symbolic structures. Its goal is to shed light on the constitution of a cinematic female gaze, and to describe the structural lines that define it
Panelli, Martina. "La réécriture comme autoportrait : médias, corps et archives dans le cinéma d'avant-garde féminin." Thesis, Paris 8, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA080086/document.
Full textThis work aims to study the coincidence between two phenomenons, subjective writing and found footage film, articulating different approaches around themes as filmic self-portrait and subjective writing, gender identity representation, the history and the critique of avant-garde film. Through the link between the notions of réécriture filmique (Marie-Claire Ropars) and entre-images (Raymond Bellour), this thesis problematise one of the main topic of self-portraiture practice: the resemblance bond between the referent and the object of representation. The analysis of “second hand” films – realized in the frame of woman's avant-garde cinema since the eighties – allowed me to articulate this theoretical reflexion in the light of recent debates around found footage film. Following the researches of Christa Blümlinger, I focused notably on the practice of reusing archive films as a form of analysis, critic, and reevaluation of cinema as a dispositif. Secondly, according to Judith Butler, I interpreted repetition as a strategy to discuss and dismantling the underlying mechanisms of gender identity representations. Finally, putting a specific emphasis on the physical and material nature of the work analysed, I highlighted a precise relationship between the material body of the filmic archive and the natural body of the artists. In this sense, the bio-political context of post and trans-feminist self-representation practices permitted me to conceive the natural body as both a surface and a medium of rewriting, shaping and determining an intermediate subjectivity which is linked “fleshly” to technologies as well as it is “freed” from the flesh of the image

The genuine desire, which is often repressed by the unconscious mind, manifests itself in dreams and fantasies. Similarly, events that initially seemed to be the result of pure chance, are actually reflective of the character's unconscious. The film maker reveals the deadlocks of the moral, through a questioning process about the concepts of perversion and deviance - masochism, sadism and fetichism - to which the inhibition of impulses can lead. Nevertheless, the perverse characters often give precedence to the expectation over the achievement itself of the act, especially through set scenes. Time is an important factor, especially since it can lead to a wound healing, to a complete cure or, at least, to a remission

Full textContemporary Indian literature and cinema are part of a dynamic that goes hand in hand with the profound socio-economic changes that have affected India since the end of the nineteen eighties. Indeed, many novels and films are characterized by a freedom of expression that touches on many subjects that were once considered taboo. The wind of renewal sweeping India is also marked by the increase in the number of writers and directors who place women at the heart of their stories and intrigues. Thus, the objective of this study is to show, on the one hand, how the image of the passive and submissive Indian woman was constructed during the long process of colonization, on the other hand, how contemporary literature and cinema attempt to rehabilitate the place of women in history in order to build a new and dynamic representation which symbolizes the Indian woman of the 2000s. The respective novels of Anita Nair and Githa Hariharan, Ladies' Compartment and The Thousand Faces of the Night, as well as the films Fire, Water by Deepa Mehta as well as The Marriage of the monsoons by Mira Nair are part of a resistance movement. where the agency of the heroines testifies to the will and the difficulty of freeing oneself from three centuries of marginalization.In the first part, we propose to walk through the history, that which attributed to the man capacities superior to those of the woman, conferring upon him by extension an authority, a power of domination. This historical and sociological approach allows us to understand how the links which unite the human and the divine in India were built. Our gaze will also focus on the consequent upheavals engendered by British colonization. This period of Indian history will be analyzed in order to highlight the modus operandi by which the British Empire succeeded in imposing a lifestyle faithful to its vision of the world while excluding women from decision-making spheres in order to "consign" them in the domestic space.The second part of the thesis analyzes the family space, which has become the place par excellence for the reproduction of androcentric postulates. This private space will be closely observed and we will engage in an approach that combines psychoanalysis and sociology in order to demonstrate the importance of the construction of the feminine in the process of identity deconstruction. We will pay particular attention to the role played by the mother in the reproductive process. The ambivalent position it occupies often leads to a fragmentation between the physical being, the social being and the psychic being. The psyche then becomes a space inhabited by doubt and fear while being the ultimate refuge of comfort. This shift between body and mind will take us to the field of psychosomatics, where dreams are the privileged place for psychic reconstruction. We will also observe the strategies used by novelists and filmmakers to begin the process of rebuilding the identity of their heroines.The third part focuses on cinema and literature through their complementarity. First, we will retrace the history of cinema from the sidelines and highlight its committed character that sets it apart from some popular cinemas such as Bollywood. Subsequently, we make a connection between the novel and its adaptation to the cinema in order to highlight the complementarity of the works as well as the notion of solidarity which represents an essential point in this collaborative work. Indeed, diaspora filmmakers Deepa Mehta and Mira Nair have developed an activist and united approach that can be found both in the writing of the script and in the choice of actors and actresses. This activism will be illustrated by examples that highlight the many instances of agency staged in order to build a dynamic image of women in India

Full textThis thesis presents the process of constructing new mythological figures in Spanish cinema after Francoisme (1975-1995). During the transition period (1975-1983) various new images emerged in Spanish film concerning the female body, homosexual body and delinquent body. It is by analysing the appearance of the new thought-images of these bodies that we can understand the process of constructing new myths in Spanish cinema. The discussion begins with the definition of myths as systems of beliefs expressed by new thought-images of the body. Then, it is shown how the body can be referred to different kinds of archetypes (femme fatale, mother figure, male heroism, etc. ). Finally, it is demonstrated how the body expressed these archetypes through its thought-images in a contemporary language symbolising possibly stereotypes, prototypes and clichés. .

Full textThe theoreticians of the cinematic voice, such as Michel Chion, Mary Ann Doane and Kaja Silverman, do not address vocal representation as an issue of gender and its relationship to race and postcolonialism. To the contrary, two contemporary filmmakers, Julie Dash and Trinh T. Minh-ha, use their “caméra-stylo” to deconstruct the dominant paradigm of the voice which has spectators believe that the image is at the source of the voices they hear. The films, Illusions and Daughters of the Dust by Dash, and Reassemblage, Naked Spaces and Surname Viet Given Name Nam by Trinh, show us how the cinematic voice is a construction. The stakes are high: white men use this vocal illusion as a lever to impose control over the world of epistemology. As an alternative, Dash and Trinh propose a feminist paradigm. The transcendent masculine voice is replaced by the immanent and polyphonic voices of women of color. Dash reveals the cinematic techniques of vocal reproduction, and she practices a classical editing that reaches for fidelity. The voices of her characters envelope the spectators. Trinh brings to the screen an understanding of the “architecture” of cinematic language, and her editing techniques suspend continuity. The spectator’s own voice must continually intervene in the construction of meaning. Through various techniques (synchronized/a-synchronized voice), the women characters come forward to witness the violence of men. Their stories reveal that the justice of the Law of the Father is as much an illusion as the cinematic voice. Women of color therefore take up the voice as a political tool: it holds the promise of changing mentalities and, in turn, the laws of city

Full textThe Nabokov studies have tended to ignore the possible influence of the German culture on Nabokov’s works. This position springs from the writer’s often quoted words, which stress that, although he lived in Germany, he could not speak German and avoided any intercourse with the German world. Russian emigration certainly constituted a state within the state but the borders between the Russian and German worlds were not so impenetrable. Nabokov spent fifteen years in Berlin and his books were translated and published in German by a German publishing house. There were several projects for screen adaptations of his works, in particular for the novel King, Queen, Knave. While in Berlin, he wrote at least two novels, King, Queen, Knave and Kamera Obskura (Laughter in the Dark for the revisited version by Nabokov), and a series of short stories which describe the German world. All this undermines the principle established about the ignorance of German influence.Our thesis aims at reading Nabokov’s works in the context of the German contemporary art, in particular Expressionist aesthetics. We consider three major issues, namely the distortion of the psyche, which leads to an inner division of the self, the ambivalence of the female figure and the representation of the big city. Thus an extensive analysis allows us to reveal links with German silent cinema and with painting which had eluded researchers so far. The present work aims at introducing a new dimension in the reading of Nabokov’s works and at restoring them to the cultural context of Berlin in which they were created

Full textThe purpose of this doctoral thesis entitled « Stars and cinephilia in the early XXth century Spanish cinematographic culture: the example of Greta Garbo » is to analyse the influence that this star may have produced in the Spanish society at that time, taking into account that this society was going through some debates related to the renegociation of the relations between sexes and to sexual differentiation issues. The main sources used in this respect consist of the journals published in Spainthroughout the late twenties and the first half of the thirties. First of all, this research focuses on the reception of the first silent Garbo movies that implies the appearance of a new female image. By doing so, one can see that the cinematographic culture of the late twenties introduces Garbo as a real artist with a great creative power. Then, in the thirties, the Spanish film journals reveals a change ofdirection which is in part due to the evolution of cinephilic discourse, a gendered discourse which develops at the expense of women and stars. From then on, the Garbo image is questioned by a legion of journalists pretending to defend the prestige of an “auteur”: the film director. In this study, this reversal is interpreted in the light of the tensions that Garbo provoked as she embodied a transgressive female image. The end of this research also shows that the Garbo image was still alive through the first years of Francoism, the cinematographic culture of this period including similarities and continuities with the twenties and thirties’ one

Full textThe critical analysis of the personages Marguerite Gauthier and Macabéa in the films -Camille / Le roman de Marguerite Gauthier, 1936 and A hora da estrela /The hour of the star,1986 - seeks to understand the mechanisms by which the myth of the eternal feminine ensures its permanence in contemporary women’s imaginary as an image-reference. The first section of the thesis focus the power of looking by an analytical approach between the stereotypes of the colonized body and the feminine body, identified as the “other” in the colonial discourse. The second section is a historical and critical analysis of the eternal feminine represented by the emblematic personage of Marguerite Gauthier, performed by Greta Garbo, and the resignifications of this myth by the contemporary media. The third section is a critical reflection about the feminine outsider, represented by the personage of Macabéa, by questioning the reception of the myth and its influence on the women’s creative process. This work focuses on the concept of 'experience' as a central element for the articulation of "others' perspectives, while questioning the relationship between film, feminine and narrative

Full textAt first sight, Cristina Comencini’s works may seem simple, light, almost popular. Yet, she one of the rare authors, in contemporary Italy, who is at the same time a writer, a scenarist, a film director and a playright. These multiple aspects of her work led her to create a women’s « cinécriture » which stands at the crossroad between novel and film. It is a real conscious strategy which uses the texture of the language (grammar and syntax) to render the message more accessible to anyone. This thesis takes into consideration the period going from 1994 to 2007, during which the author became the spokeswoman of the feminin cause in the name a new subjectivity and she started to reinterpretate history, in particular the period of the Seventies, so crucial for her generation. Her mastery of the different kinds of genre structures and of technical skills allowed her to renew the literary landscape, first of all in terms of subject treated. From 2001, she has been able to propose a innovatory feminin and popular « format » whereby the private feelings are the pretext to express political analysis

Full textFollowing in the footsteps of late-19th-century “actress novels”, a number of French and American novelists prolonged the literary fortunes of the actress-protagonist in the years immediately following the Second World War, in the broader context of a century heavily influenced by the rise of the cinema and, more largely, of popular culture. This dissertation analyzes how literature perceives and recounts these changes through the character of the actress, be she fictional or based on a real-life person. Actress novels of the second half of the 20th century are characterized by their predominantly homogenous narrative aims and borrow from other genres, such as the artist novel and the fairytale. The semiology of the main character is marked by a profession that confuses her identity between her own ego, her characters and her persona, and by the importance placed on her body that bears the hyperbolic markers of gender and beauty. Novelistic actresses illustrate male domination and few of them are capable of autonomous action, of becoming independent “actors” of their own destinies. Novelistic writing thereby causes a “disfiguration” of the very figure that exposes the degradation behind the splendid images, or exacerbates those images in order to transform the marvel into a monster. The goal of these texts is also intermedial: the novel is intended to be compared to cinema, which recently supplanted it in its status of popular tale, by imitating its techniques but also by recounting its modes of reception through a sometimes-iconoclastic lens. This leads to a reflection on literature and on culture via the figure of the actress, an artist without her own work, sometimes a clone of the author in a game between referentiality and fiction

Full textThe birth of the active female main character of the horror film in the 1970s has a significant impact on the genre of horror : this phenomenon prompted the emergence of new sub-genres (the slasher, the woman's horror film, the horror film/family melodrama and the action/horror to whom the Alien series gives birth in the 2000s). These sub-genres differ in their narrative structure, their production mode and the type of audience they address. Each of them grants the leading role to a different type of female character. From 1970 till 2007, the relationship of the female protagonists of horror film to the society in which they live, their body and their sexuality evolves. While in the 1970s, most of the heroic women of the genre are independent women, between 1980 and 1995, they become sacrificial mothers, and from 1996 to 2007, the independent women resurface again but are often single mothers. The ability of these female characters to become heroes or monsters is also affected by their relationship to their body : those who cannot control the "changeable nature" of their biology (i.e. those who become pregnant or have their period) turn into monsters, while those who can contain their bodies and sexual desires survive. The chronological analysis of these sub-genres shows that their discourse on their female main protagonists and the way it evolves are influenced by the different feminist currents that come to birth in the United States from 1970 till 2007 and by the backlash(es) against them

"A representação do feminino heroico na literatura e no cinema : uma análise das obras Quarto de Despejo, diário de uma favelada (Carolina Maria de Jesus), Estamira e Estamira para Todos e para Ninguém (Marcos Prado), De Salto Alto e Tudo sobre Minha Mãe (Pedro Almodóvar)." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012REN20036/document.
Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to analyze the representation of the heroine figure through five works of cinema and literature: High Heels (1991) and All About My Mother (1999), both Spanish fiction films directed by Pedro Almodóvar; Estamira (2004) and Estamira para Todos e para Ninguém (2004), respectively full-length and medium-length Brazilian documentaries, directed by Marcos Prado; and Child of the Dark: the Diary of Carolina Maria de Jesus (1960)3, a Brazilian book written by Carolina Maria de Jesus and edited by Audálio Dantas.I intend to analyze, among other aspects, how these literary and cinematographic pieces assemble and display their respective protagonists throughout the entire narrative: Rebeca (High Heels), Manuela (All about My Mother), Estamira (Estamira and Estamira para Todos e para Ninguém) and Carolina (Child of the dark: the diary of Carolina Maria deJesus).This thesis is segmented in four chapters, the first being the one which concerns the theories of representation; the conceptualization and representation of the heroic being; the peculiarities applicable to each genre (melodrama, documentary, autobiographical diary), and the interchange that each piece establishes with other types of art throughout the narrative. For the second chapter, I contemplate the analysis of identitary issues concerning the main characters’ universe, heeding the on-going dialogue from the given parts towards the reader/ spectator. For the third and fourth chapter, I analyse the strategies of distancing and approaching of the heroines regarding the reader/spectator, strategies which have beenpinpointed all over the cinematic and literary texts.High Heels is a film, which tells the story of two women - mother and daughter - who experience different moments. The mother, the famous singer and actress, Becky Del Páramo (Marisa Paredes), returns to Madrid, her hometown, where she wishes to spend the last days of her life. There she reunites with her daughter Rebeca (Victoria Abril) after having spent 15years apart. The daughter failed to overcome the desire to emulate her mother.All about My Mother represents the suffering of Manuela (Cecília Roth), who has lost her only son, Estéban (Eloy Azorín), just before she tells him all the truth concerning his father. The woman then decides to come back to Barcelona to meet her ex-husband, Estéban. The man, soon before impregnating her, had decided to turn into the transvestite Lola (Eloy Azorín).Estamira and Estamira para Todos e para Ninguém narrates the story of Estamira Gomes de Souza (1939 -2011), a Brazilian woman who has a mental disorder and has been working for more than twenty years at a landfill in Jardim Gramacho, in Rio de Janeiro, under appalling living conditions.Child of the dark: the diary of Carolina Maria de Jesus reveals the daily chronicles of Carolina Maria de Jesus from 1955 to 1960. The editing was done by Audálio Dantas, who has read all the twenty notebooks, in which the writer’s reports were found. In the book, Carolina documents her everyday life as a slum woman besides her three children, and others,who share the same eagerness to get over the extreme poverty in Canindé, an extinct shanty town, in São Paulo.Having in mind the process of unveiling the implicit intentions of the films, I choose to use as a methodology the analysis of the characters’ speech and the observation of other literary or cinematographic components, such as gesture, screenplay, settings, costume, location, atmosphere, and assembly. This analysis is based in theorists such as Michel Foucault, Stuart Hall, Mikhail Bakhtin, Kathryn Woodward, Antonio Candido and Anatol Rosenfeld
O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a representação da figura de heroína em cinco obras de cinema e literatura: De Salto Alto (1991) e Tudo sobre Minha Mãe (1999), filmes espanhóis de ficção dirigidos por Pedro Almodóvar; Estamira (2004) e Estamira para Todos e para Ninguém (2004), documentários brasileiros em longa-metragem e média-metragem,respectivamente, dirigidos por Marcos Prado; e Quarto de Despejo: diário de uma favelada (19601), livro brasileiro escrito por Carolina Maria de Jesus e editado por Audálio Dantas.Propõe-se a análise do modo como esses textos cinematográficos e literário constroem e apresentam suas respectivas protagonistas ao longo de toda a narrativa: Rebeca (De Salto Alto), Manuela (Tudo sobre Minha Mãe), Estamira (Estamira e Estamira para Todos e para Ninguém) e Carolina Maria de Jesus (Quarto de Despejo: diário de uma favelada).O trabalho é desenvolvido em quatro capítulos, sendo que o primeiro trata das teorias de representação, da conceituação e representação do ser heroico, das peculiaridades pertinentes a cada gênero (melodrama, documentário, diário autobiográfico), e do diálogo que cada obra trava com outros tipos de arte ao longo das narrativas. No segundo capítulo, aproposta é analisar as questões identitárias pertinentes ao universo das personagens principais, considerando o constante diálogo dessas com o leitor/espectador. No terceiro e quarto capítulos, discorre-se sobre as estratégias de distanciamento e aproximação das heroínas com relação ao leitor/espectador, observadas ao longo dos textos fílmicos e literário.De Salto Alto é uma obra que conta a vida de duas mulheres – mãe e filha – que vivem momentos diferentes. A mãe, a cantora e atriz famosa Becky Del Páramo (Marisa Paredes), retorna a Madri, sua cidade natal, onde pretende passar seus últimos dias. Ela reencontra sua filha Rebeca (Victoria Abril), depois de quinze anos de separação. A moça nunca superou o desejo de imitar a mãe.Tudo sobre Minha Mãe representa o sofrimento de Manuela (Cecília Roth) que perde seu filho único, Estéban (Eloy Azorín), pouco antes de contar a ele toda a verdade sobre seu pai. A mulher resolve voltar à cidade de Barcelona para reencontrar o ex-marido, Estéban. O homem, pouco antes de engravidá-la, havia decidido se tornar o travesti Lola (Toni Cantó).Estamira e Estamira para Todos e para Ninguém contam a história de Estamira Gomes de Souza (1939-2011), uma brasileira que sofre de distúrbios mentais e que durante cerca de duas décadas vive e trabalha no Lixão do Jardim Gramacho, no Rio de Janeiro, em péssimas condições de vida.Quarto de Despejo: diário de uma favelada revela os escritos diários de Carolina Maria de Jesus entre 1955 e 1960. A edição foi feita por Audálio Dantas, que leu os vinte cadernos onde se encontravam os relatos da autora. No livro, Carolina descreve sua rotina como favelada ao lado dos três filhos e de outras pessoas que, como ela, lutam para sobreviver à miséria na hoje extinta favela do Canindé, em São Paulo.Para o processo de desvendamento das intenções implícitas dos filmes, opta-se por utilizar como metodologia a análise do discurso das personagens e a observação de outros componentes literários ou fílmicos, como o gestual, o roteiro, o cenário, o figurino, a locação, a atmosfera, a montagem. Propõe-se uma análise com base em teóricos como MichelFoucault, Stuart Hall, Mikhail Bakhtin, Kathryn Woodward, Antonio Candido e Anatol Rosenfeld

Full textSince the beginning of cinema, several films have been made in the regions of Quebec. Our thesis tries to set off the production of regional films what have been made for nearly 75 years in Quebec. Three important currents have been studied more thoroughly. - In the first part, we study the film production between 1925 and 1940 in particular. Most film-makers from Quebec at that time were priest who considered the cinema as a wonderful means of propagandas and education. Some pioneers of this type are acknowledged by the late historians of Quebec cinema. But not a lot. - In the second part, we tried to account for regional films from 1945 until 1965. In this case, we want to bring out the French experience of the Nfb. Why do we keep more in mind films from region made in that period such as les raquetteurs, pour la suite du monde. . . Rather than national films : that can be explained. - In the 3nd period, the regional cinema takes a new direction. Now appear films made by films-makers born there and or being permanent residents in the area. It's a new approach of the regional identity. - And there's a privileged region : Abitibi

Full textThe goal of the present dissertation is to confront a specific object, the “pin-up”, to aspecific time and location: the so called « Pre code » Hollywood era. First of all, we wish todefine the pin-up as both a feminine and cinematographic figure, and to go beyond themere “woman as object “ that she is frequently reduced to. A careful study (relying, amongother, on sequence analysis) of pin-up archetypes created between 1930 and 1934 in acultural perspective, influenced by gender studies, makes it possible, first, to deconstructthe notion that Pre-code era has been a period of cinematographic freedom. Moreover,looking back at the history and evolution of the pin-up, and understanding how they can beused in a feminist agenda, helps turning this hypersexualised feminine figure into a deviceto analyze gender relationships, able to reveal the mechanisms, sometimes cleverlyconcealed, of masculine domination. In this respect, the strategies that pin-up charactersresort to in order to fight patriarchal order are revealing. Pin-up evolving in the horrorgenre, or the character of Jane Parker impersonated by Maureen O’Sullivan in MGM’s sixfirst Tarzan should complete this survey. The variety of archetypes that have been selectedhere seem, eventually, to lay bare a common difficulty, shared by all cinematographic pinup,regardless of their ontological status - their mere existence

Full textAfter pointing out non chronologically some aspects of the historical relationship between cinema and theatre ( how the cinema had been dependant on it, how it became autonomous and how both arts interacted) this survey will analyze the appearance of drama in cinema under three different aspects: filmed drama, the drama as a quotation in a film and theatricality. It will also try to make clear distinctions enhancing the characteristics of each type and how it works. Three main points will then be developed: the spectator's place, knowledge and belief. Indeed, the investigation of these fields will show how the cinema can be altered by the references to drama. Far from making things easier for the cinema, the confrontation of both arts raises a profitable conflict since it provides an aesthetic reflexion about time-old questions concerning reality and illusion, similarity and verisimilitude, as well as on the specificity of the language, even if the cinema is conquering its autonomy. It also creates new devices and new relationships to the spectator

Full textFrom Mary Barton to Wives and Daughters, Elizabeth Gaskell’s novels portray heroines who have to deal with ordeals such as death, disease, missing family member, illegitimate child, bankruptcy, etc. Her heroines are forced to evolve in order to survive, especially as they live in a period riddled with social, political and scientific changes which does not spare them. If trauma, which Greek origin refers to the wound, is often described as an extraordinary event, Gaskell’s novels, on the contrary, demonstrate that trauma arises in daily life. Even if these notions did not exist in the Victorian period, trauma and resilience were not born with psychoanalysis. Gaskell found her own language to describe her characters’ deep psychic life and their aptitude to resist and to recover from their wounds. She gives voice to the mental and physical repercussions of trauma, grasping all the hardly perceptible signs, in order to communicate these experiences of pain. We will see how these writing strategies enable Gaskell to build a new type of feminine character, the Gaskellian heroine, characterized by her aptitude to absorb traumatic shocks and by her heroism.Screen adaptations of her novels (North and South, Cranford, Wives and Daughters) were made in the last few years, thus contributing to Gaskell’s new popularity. As cinema offers a different regime of visibility and audibility to traumatic experiences, we will analyse the choices made by directors and scriptwriters (use of sound, editing processes, addition of characters, etc.) to adapt for the screen Gaskell’s subtlety

Full textStatus and stakes of the photographic picture in narrative films are to be studied from different points of view (monstrative, narrative, enonciative) according as one regards either the status and the role of the photographic object or the fonctions and significations bound to the photographic representation. The integrated photographic picture as multi-fonction diegetic object is currently used. Through its double fonction as both index and icon and according to its significance in films, it helps the narration, it provides a certain knoledge and has a more or less important veridictory role, it enhances fiction at some levels in dividing the space and time of the represented object ; in the narration, it is to express affects, ideas, symbols and themes. The photographic picture also enables the audience to think out cinema and photography according to indicated or suggested contexts, for it can trigger free associations that partly depend on its relation to the image. Provided that the photographic object as actant is more or less substantial in the narration, photographic representation creates other stakes relating to signification within filmic representation, in works where cinema is designed as experimenting new expressive forms, new narrative forms. What is at stake in the integrated photographic picture as autonomous representation is not only set in terms of contrasts, contrarieties, blocking, stopping, interruption, performativity but also in terms syncretic phenomena. Single or multiple integration of the photographic picture can carry out the synthesis wich is neither quite homogeneous nor quite heterogeneous between photography and film. Thus, it creates an intermediate representation, and interspace representation

Full textThe first part of this thesis examines the « burlesque » genre in literature, theater and plastic arts to compare it with the corpus of comedy movies called « cinéma burlesque » by French studies (which is equivalent to slapstick comedy). This part establishes that slapstick comedy is an expression of this protean comedy category. The other parts proposes to examine gestures in « cinéma burlesque » and in his essential components : gags (describe as the unique action in this comedy category) and characters (describe as « beings of gestures »). This thesis analyzes gestures of slapstick comedies in different periods (early films, 10’s, 20’s and 30’s), and principally in France and USA. The conclusion asserts « gesture » is an especially appropriate notion to study slapstick comedy

Full textDuring the 1980s, two phenomena resonated in French society. The first phenomenon was a backlash against the social progress of women made over the previous two decades. The second was an intensification of the fascination - repulsion dynamic with American popular culture. The concurrence of these two factors is the origin of this doctoral dissertation whose aim is to understand the evolution of the female condition in France through the study of the French critical reception of American films. The historical materialist approach to reception studies, as developed by Janet Staiger (1992, 2000), guides this research. It consists in observing the historical anchoring of debates sparked by the film amongst spectators evolving in diverse social formations (nationality, age, gender, etc. ). Also fundamental to this research is the theory of utterance (« énonciation ») proposed by Käte Hamburger (1986). According to Hamburger, the film director does not determine an exclusive and obligatory point of view to which the spectator must adhere in order to "correctly” interpret the film. In fact, to build her interpretation, the spectator chooses one (or several) of the possible points of views offered by the film. This doctoral dissertation is divided into three parts. The first part presents the theoretical and methodological framework. The second part contains case studies of the French critical reception of four American films (Kramer versus Kramer, Victor, Victoria, Tootsie, Desperately Seeking Susan) at the time of their release. The final part offers a social and historical contextualisation of these analyses
