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

Full textThis research is centered on the idea and practice of a French intimist, cinematic modernity, of an autobiographical nature, inscribed in a cultural tradition where literature is essential in the path to creativity. This work proposes to evaluate the liberation or tension regarding the codes of representation of love at work in certain films, representative of the New Wave, that open an original path to modernity. In France, an entire philosophical and cinephilic movement is founded on the question of modernity: Gilles Deleuze, Alain Bergala, Jean-Louis Leutrat, Jacques Aumont. This study also takes into account the findings of T. Jefferson Kline and the work of Giorgio De Vincenti concerning film that treats literature as a material. Therefore, approaches sometimes considered opposite are presented here as complimentary, seeking to conjugate the aim of Anglo-Saxon and cultural studies (the analysis of the representation of women and the relationships between men and women) with the aesthetic in order to reveal a French characteristic in the modernity of the New Wave – that perhaps goes against the myth of a quasi-documentary « cinéma brut » of improvisation (close to Italian neorealism) – thus a French distinction by their attachment to (or the surpassing of) codes, motifs and topoï of love, to a rhetoric coming from a literary tradition belonging to the French cultural heritage, and by a more profound tendency of these directors to film the intimate, to film women and to film their lives, filtered and revealed by literary « screens »
Steinlein, Almut. "Une esthétique de l'authentique : les films de la Nouvelle Vague." Paris 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA030146.
Full textThe question of authenticity is essential to the self-conception of the New Wave that emerged at the end of the 1950s in France and announced the modern age of cinema. Authenticity is the central notion of modern literature as a means of individual expression. Since the 19th century, a literary work of art founded its legitimisation no more in an external authority, but in its aesthetic originality and autonomy in opposition to classical norms and rhetorical conventions. Instituting the director as the filmic author, the discursive strategy of New Wave's Politique des auteurs must be considered as an attempt to qualify cinema as a modern art by setting the prerequisites for an authentic writing in film. Following Pierre Bourdieu's field theory, the emerging of the New Wave is described as the birth of a field of pure production, modelled on the autonomisation of the literary field in the 19th century. The second part of the study questions the realisation of the authenticity postulate by analysing the first features of Rohmer, Chabrol, Truffaut, Godard and Rivette. If the pretension of authenticity is common to all of the young film makers, they use different authentication strategies in their films, creating in that way both the coherence and the diversity of the New Wave

Full textThe purpose of this study is to understand the entire work of jean-luc godard from the beginning to today ("for ever mozart", 1996). In the face of its world, we try to surround a coherence. That is his project that makes this coherence, a project to save the cinema. This project unfolds in two stages each of which has revealed his own manner to save the cinema, therefore, following these two stages, we divide his works in two periods. In the first period his interest is in search of image of the reality, the image-space. So, we call this period + the time of the image ; where he tries to find the substance of the image, the cinema. There, his work becomes stylized around this research; certain arrangement built in this research and our study is centered to surround this arrangement. However, by approaching the reality, godard meets the ideology that makes this reality and he has found his role in the struggle against this ideology. He \ becomes militant, combatant and his cinema is re-examined by himself. He enters thus in the second period where he is interested in the power of image that allows us to see, to find the other history. It renounces in search of the imagespace, but he tries to research the image-history. The cinema is found as an arm that allows us to see otherwise the history and to surround the life from the birth to the death. Naturally, in his works, we find an other arrangement where the style does not search, but all history is examined. In the study of this period, we will follow the last stage to save the cinema that researches the power of the image that allow us to see, reflect on the history. That is in order that we appoint this period + the time of the history
Sung, Jihae. "La réflexibilité comme moteur de renouvellement dans l'œuvre cinématographique de Jean Eustache." Paris 8, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA082662.
Full textThis thesis is devoted to the study of the films by Jean Eustache. As a director who came to realise his first film just after Nouvelle Vague, Eustache is considered as the direct heir of Nouvelle Vague though his films showed personal tone with the evolution. His films are appreciated in divers ways: sentimental, intellectual, personal, marginal, realistic, experimental, modern whileas Eustache is unanimously considered as the director who couldn’t get along with his epoque. His filmic career shows the balancement between the fiction film et the documentary film, between the feature film and short film, between 35 mm format and 16 mm format etc. From this balancement comes the particular form of reflexivity in his films, which is a driving force of renewal. His films show the evolution in which Eustache is interested in posing questions about the possibilities and the limits of the means of filmic expressions. For this questioning, his films adopted the return to the primary phase of film’s evolution, the repetition, the emphasis on speech

Full textThis work in art and culture sociology consists in apprehending a specific phenomenon, the setting up of interpretations and then conventions about an artist's production : Jean-Luc Godard’s one. This work is made of three parts, two of which proved to give a dimension to cinema as a subject. First we defined an approach in art and culture sociology to this subject and we justified the relevance of researching on the works in question. Then we observed traces of the past - films, reviews and even theories - and we attempted to put them in their historical context as far as possible. Finally we organized our work, that is to say we reconstructed it from a relational viewpoint focusing on two notions : history and picture, the film-maker and his work. Relating the dynamic links that are set up between Jean-Luc Godard and society, we tried to reconstruct artisics phenomenons by means of integrating historical facts in a systemic way on the one hand and on the other hand doing an ethnography of artistic activity, that is to say the way the artist defines himself trough his work and his cinema. The relational approach suggested by Marcel Mauss's methodological concept of global social phenomenon allowed us to put in prospect a study of sociability structures, paths and sometimes to bring generation effects to light. Thus we analized the new modalities of social matters held in films such as « A bout de souffle », « Pierrot le fou and la chinoise », considering the film-maker's development between 1959 and 1967 to outline the elements of the construction of a biography in which we could watch one godard's representation, a career strategy and an artistic logic
Montarnal, Jean. "Cinéma français d'après-guerre et « tradition de la qualité » : du mythe critique à la réalité esthétique." Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCC067.
Full textThe term « tradition of quality » usually refers to an important part of the French post-war cinema produced between 1945 and 1958. The fame of this French cinema fraction is generally derogatory, because of how it was first discredited by polemical articles published in the Cahiers du cinéma by young critics, then by the early movies of the « Nouvelle Vague ». However, the notion of « tradition of quality » or « french quality » is still difficult to define precisely. We shall first endeavour to dig for the roots of a fluctuating and unsteady yet unavoidable notion. We shall look for the origin of this concept and trace back its historical, semantic and rhetorical path, a path that navigates institutional, corporate, legal, cultural and critical spheres. The study of its use in the magazine Cahiers du cinéma also enables us to consider theoretical hypotheses on the meaning of « tradition of quality » for the reviewer groups called the « young Turks ». Moreover, the way these films regarded as « tradition of quality » were received also opens up an aesthetic analysis: we articulate critical speech with historical context, narratology and sociology in order to detail the features that give coherence to those films through the study of their generic, narrative and visual dimensions
Chartain, Lucile. "Le cinéma allemand contemporain en France : la production de l'image d'un autre." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015USPCB208.
Full textThis PhD presents the mechanisms of the appearance of German cinema in France since 1990, from its sphere of production to its individual reception. How can contemporary German cinema support new forms of encounter with the Other for French spectators? The analysis draws on the studies of culture undertaken by the Frankfurt School, as well as on contributions from the sociology of cinema and its reception. It also builds on empirical research conducted with major stakeholders : people working in German production on the one hand, and French spectators on the other. Since 1990 the production of German cinema has undergone changes resulting in the creation of a more productive film landscape. The rise in production has led to an increased export of German cinema, notably to France. This is a contradictory development: it has admittedly allowed a diversification in the nature of movies screened, but this diversification has been based on conformist approaches, smoothing out any heterogeneity. The export and advertising of the productions has tended to support historical themes whilst German comedies have been excluded from French screens in a self-fulfilling prophecy. The reception of contemporary German cinema has then led to an active reinvestment in more or less stereotypical worldviews of the Other. The encounter with German cinema has also fluctuated between being an experience of Germany and an experience of the world. The exoticism of German cinema has been too subtle to have any direct impact on the representation of the Other. Its influence has occurred implicitly on intertwined levels: on iconographic images, societal representations, as well as meta-representations
Die Dissertation aus dem Fachbereich Soziologie stellt die Passagen des deutschen Kinos in Frankreich seit 1990 dar - von der Produktionssphäre bis hin zur individuellen Rezeption. Hierbei bedient sie sich sowohl an den Kulturstudien der Frankfurter Schule als auch an den Beiträgen der Rezeptionssoziologie. Des weiteren basiert sie auf einer empirischen Studie, die die Sichtweise von Akteuren der deutschen Produktionsbranche und französischer Konsumenten analysiert. Die zeitgenössische Produktion zeichnet sich durch diverse Mutationen aus, deren Kreuzung zu einer vielfältigeren Kinolandschaft führt. Die Entstehung einer Schnittmenge aus kommerziellem Kino und Autorenfilmen, die zu einer qualitativ hochwertigen Unterhaltung führt, basiert überwiegend auf Historienfilme mit authentischem Charakter und führt zu einem Rückschluss auf das deutsche Kino auf lokaler und internationaler Ebene. Der Export der Filme, die durchaus als Kulturgut wahrgenommen werden, trägt zu einer polarisierten Sichtweise bei. Das deutsche Kino wird aus der Sicht französischer Händler neu bewertet, bedient sich jedoch dabei einer sehr konformistischen Art und Weise, die dazu neigt, sich an historischen Filmen zu bedienen und deutsche Komödien auszugrenzen. Dies führt dazu, dass der französische Zuschauer, von seinem Nachbarn, qualitativ hochwertige Historienfilme erwartet. Diese Kategorisierung von Deutschtum in Filmen führt zu einer Art Stereotypisierung im Hinblick auf den Anderen. Diese Rezeption fördert wiederum die Materalisierung abstrakter Phänomene, die an einer generalisierten Erfahrung des Andersseins bezüglich Deutschtum und Universalität anknüpft

Full textThrough the analysis of more than a four hundred movies collection, directed in the early years of the Fifth Republic (1958-1968), this thesis studies the representations of music aiming to report the wholeness of the musical fact, from the listener to the musician, including both human and material intermediaries. This study is devoted to the observation of one of the modality of music witch is the diegetic one, meaning the music that characters are either listening and/or making inside the story. These représentations are considered in their numerous aspects : visual – the image of music –, sound – the music itself –, linguistic – the speech about music. To the variousness of the chosen movies (from popular cinema to arthouse cinema) answers the variety of music carried by movies in this decade, where jazz, popular music and classical music are crossing paths

Full textThis study examines the implications of the attachment of film industry to the Ministry of Culture at the beginning of the fifth French Republic. This thesis strives to describe permanents fluctuations of André Malraux's administration between the concern to answer with requirement to the challenges relating to the high quality of the cinematographic production, the need to match the cinema with reasons of national prestige and the necessity to develop a consensual policy able to satisfy miscellaneous stakeholders of the public action. There is no doubt that this last aspect turns out to be crucial for establishing his authority in relation to governmental instability which has continued before 1959 but also because of upheavals provoked by Nouvelle Vague appearance. Although the French intervention model is completely recognized on European scale on this years, some of its options are yet criticized on the national level by a part of critics and young directors close to the magazine Les Cahiers du cinéma. The diversity of full-length movies subsidized by De Gaulle's government doesn't tally with the exclusivity of aesthetic innovation as it existed between 1956 and 1960. The French selection sent at Festival of Cannes is also not much appreciated on this way. The crisis of attendance in the cinemas, which existed all over this period, emphasized more these tenseness. André Malraux is consequently confronted with unprecedented protest movement of his action at the dawn of the second half of the sixties

Full textWe will start observing that speaking is very important when French cinema questions itself. That's why we propose here to study the postulate that modernity in French cinema stands above all by the speach's direction. First we will ask ourselves why modernity and speach go so well together in French cinema. That's because speach is directly concerned by the destruction of classical representation, in particular by the swaying of certitudes, meaning's notion, truth and subject. After having settling down those general questions we will study one key moment in the building of modernity : the New Wave. In the second part the studies by authors show issues directly connected or inherited from modernity as it tried to conceptualize itself during the New Wave. We will talk about movement and subject's crisis, about the swing of representation towards presentation and about the way modern subject invents an art of stuttering. This requirement to invent words and speaches still is very alive today and we will end this work on contemporary perspectives. .
Hong, Sora. "La génération des centres culturels (Munhwawon sedae) et la nouvelle vague du cinéma sud-coréen des années 1980-1990." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019EHES0051.
Full textA process of cultural legitimation of the cinema has occurred in South Korea since the 1980s. This thesis focuses on the role that cinephiles grouped under the expression of the Munhwawon sedae, the generation of cultural centers, have played in this process. Accordingly, I analyze this notion, understood as a social network of South Korean cinephiles who emerged as a result of frequenting European countries’ cultural centers in Seoul between 1977 and 1984. The analysis is based on a prosopographic method to understand the relationships between individuals and institutions, particularly the trajectory and various discourses on the Seventh Art of the Munhwawon sedae. As I demonstrate, this trajectory is nourished not only by an intellectual type of European cinephilia but also, more locally, by theories of cultural movement for the minjung (people). The discourses produced on the “South Korean new cinema” therefore exist on the border between art and politics. The latter side was seen as a counterweight to an absurd political system. Thus, I strive to show how the political objective has progressively taken precedence over the artistic objective with the effervescence of the movement for the democratization of the country: the resistance against the presumed incoherence of society then becomes more important than the pursuit of the Seventh Art. Until the end of the political democratization process of the country, a balance is drawn between the aesthetic and political ambition of the Munhwawon sedae. The engagement of these cinephiles within the evolution of the South Korean cinema constitutes a new initiative in the field. Now, the “members” of the Munhwawon sedae, who once were movie fans frequenting European countries’ cultural centers, have spread their cinephilia as directors, producers, critics, and film educators. Overall, this thesis focuses on how, in the mid-1990s, the Munhwawon sedae announced an end to the dark age of South Korean cinema. By positioning itself in this way, literally at the heart of this artistic and political new wave, the Munhwawon sedae formed as the new cultural elite of South Korean society
Forret, Mélanie. "Le cinéma de Guy Gilles : une œuvre à contretemps (1958-1996)." Thesis, Paris 8, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA080084.
Full textThis thesis revisits the cinematographic work of Guy Gilles, a filmmaker with a singular trajectory, navigating between time and space. His work is based on a constant back and forth, directly or indirectly, between Algeria, his native land, and France, more particularly Paris, an idealised, mythified city, which he constantly filmed as if to find again a certain time and light that had been lost. Born in 1938, Guy Gilles arrived in Paris in 1960. He received no recognition from the Nouvelle Vague, neither from the first nor the second generation, and remained on the fringe of the fringe (underground cinema, gay cinema, art films) until his death in 1996. His work - discreet and secret - has fallen into oblivion and should be rediscovered today. First, for Gilles’ formal research, his impressionist narratives, his poetry of the city; and second, for his intimate, Proustian quest, passing through all the filmic forms he used (short and feature films, films for television), but also his painting and photographic work
Figueirôa, Ferreira Alexandre. "La Vague du Cinema Novo en France fut-elle une invention de la critique ?" Paris 3, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999PA030034.
Full textIn the 1960s, as a result of the promotional movement carried out by critics writing for specialised cinema periodicals, the brazilian cinema novo held a privileged position among the new cinemas. Those periodicals provided the means through which the cinema novo films were given their particular cultural value. As a consequence, this body of films gained recognition as a movement that created an innovative conception of film-making. The interpretations of the cinema novo propounded were elaborated form the observation of the discursive reality perceptible in the periodicals. The approach given to the present work is mostly a historical and socio-cultural one. An analytical method has been draw up in order to account for the particularities of the communication categories examined. However it is neither a media or a semiological and linguistic study, even though both these domains have provided useful techniques. Firstly, this study shows how the spread of ideas produced a cultural model for the cinema novo based on the research of signs common to both the french and the brazilian cultures, so that a pattern off corresponding codes uniting these two cultures could be set. The legitimacy of this cultural model was to be found in ideological agreements previously established between the parties involved in the process. Then, we show that in order to meet the needs of the specialised french critics, who searched for a convincing model of social and political cinema, and those of their promotional strategies, the cinema novo had to fit in the roles determined by editorial tenets upheld in the periodicals. Thus, the main role the cinema novo had to play was that of a replacement for the italian neorealism and for the french new wave

Full textThe existence of a specific musical language in the cinema is put in perspective by the study of two forms of symphonisms – the rehabilitation of the American model and the « intimist symphonism » in the French contemporary features films since the end of the 1990s. The analysis of the scores composed for Angel and Huit femmes shows a return to the tradition of the American melodramas of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Through the dimensions – epic, lyric and fantastic – present in movies such as Les rivières pourpres, Nid de guêpes, Joyeux Noël or Jeux d’enfants, we notice an assimilation of the musical characteristics of neo-hollywoodism. Besides, the emergence of a new form of symphonism observed in scores such as Swimming Pool, Sous le sable, Sur mes lèvres, De battre mon cœur s’est arrêté, Confidences trop intimes or Hell expresses itself by a symphonic orchestration that privileges the “transparency” of the instrumental color, a restrained lyricism and develops an emotional empathy with the action of the movie by avoiding a descriptive synchronization. The appropriation of the characteristics coming from the minimalism and impressionism intensifies the concision and the working drawing of this symphonism. This musicological approach allows to clarify the way the original symphonic music is outlined in the beginning of twenty-first century and how, in the eyes of what preexist in the history of the French cinema, it distinguishes itself

Full textThe essay is about the different influences that had been involved in Iranian cinema from 1900 to 1978 (the year of revolution). It started by the first short films arrived in Iran by Mozafardin Shah in 1900. For that matter the first chapter of the essay is about the history of Iran and what kind of hobbies lranians used to have before cinema arrived. What was the first reaction of people and especially the religious people? Then there are 3 important influences which are presented in 3 differents chapters : -Influence coming from the neighborhoods (Arab, Turk and especially Indian) -Influence coming from U. S. A -Influence coming from Europe (especially Italien and the French Nouvelle Vague) The last chapter (chapter 5), is trying to answer one of the most important question of this essay which is : `Is there any kind of specific cinema in Iran that we can call « the national Iranian cinéma » ?'

Full textThis thesis devotes itself to the analysis of the film and the theoretical work of Korean contemporary director Jang Sun-woo. He was initially a critic and a film theorist, his concept of "Open Cinema" (1982) aims to introduce about "the new cinema" which accentuates the need of the critics, the formal invention and also a theory for the Korean cinema with the consideration about its historical context. In particular, Jang Sun-woo insists on making a movie with the harmony between the individual and the community.The "Open Cinema" is a concept that combines the aesthetic of the film and the theater. Firstly, it is influenced by the Madanggeuk, the modern Korean theater is composed with several acts more or less independent of the narrative. Secondly, it is inspired by Eisenstein’s theory of editing which is based on the dialectic form between the continuity and the discontinuity. For Jang Sun-woo, the film remains open in a sense that it finds its conclusion in the interpretation of the audience. In his idea, the film incorporates the experience of the audience and creates his interpellation. To realize that, Jang Sun-woo proposes several rhetorics of image like repetition, metamorphosis, analogy, allegory, abstraction, and certain forms of hybridization.Our monograph observes the evolution of Jang Sun-woo’s whole work (critics, films, publications) which raises the essential and specific questions: how the concepts of the Minjung (people), the mass and the audience were developed? Can the aesthetics of openness allow the audience to be emancipated and what kind of change it implies? Finally, what sort of ceremonial Jang Sun-woo organizes for performing Utopia?
Sudoh, Kentaro. "Jean Eustache : génétique et fabrique." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCA033.
Full textThe dissertation conducts a genetic study of Jean Eustache’s work (1938-1981) as seen through his completed films as well as unfinished projects and drafts. In being based on archives, so far undeveloped (Cinémathèque française, Inathèque, IMEC and personal collections), carrying out interviews with his former producers, directors of photography, assistants, actors, collaborators, friends, or family, and in analyzing not only his movies but also his film scripts, director’s memos or production files, the dissertation reconstructs Eustache’s whole creative journey with its twists and turns. As analysis of creation, the method seeks to trace in the most documented manner possible the process that gave rise to Eustache’s œuvre. How are connected his everlasting autobiographical undertaking and the various conditions of productions? What has leaded him to produce the filmic manifesto Number Zero (1971)? How are The Mother and the Whore (1973) and My Little Loves (1974) produced almost simultaneously? How was born the idea for experimental film essays such as A Dirty Story (1977) or Alix’s Photos (1980)? How one can create originally within both the author cinema and Public Television? This doctoral study replies to these factual questions, which enable to clarify Jean Eustache’s aesthetic and cinematic specific choices

Full textThe years 1960s stand as a time of upheaval in the history of Japanese cinema. A new generation of filmmakers arises, marking its difference from the so-called “great masters” of the 1930s and 1950s. The platforms of movie production diversify, while the great studios lose their domination upon the leisure industry. It is time for sexual freedom, political protests, civil movements against industrial pollution: a climate suitable for audacity and bold behaviors one can notice thoughout the cinematographic world, thanks to various "scandals". Yet that new and boisterous youth shall not be considered as a mere demographic change, whatever may pretend filmmakers such as Nakahira Kô and other upholders of the so-called "Taiyôzoku" at the end of the 1950s. Indeed, for the likes of Oshima Nagisa, Yoshida Kijû and Matsumoto Toshio, that renewal relies on the contrary on a new definition of filmmaking as a way to "enact" the world: thus would it rather be a matter of weltanschauung. Such a transition is obvious when compared to postwar films: for instance, Imai, Naruse or Kurosawa develop specific aesthetic patterns what draw a world of entropy, undermined by anguish. Yet the access to prosperity at the turn of the 1960s, as celebrated by 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, seems to dissipate such feelings, leading the young generation of filmmakers toward other aesthetic options, able to give account of the new society of mass consumption

Full textEli Lotar passed away in Paris in 1969 after a long but low-key career as a photographer and filmmaker. While one of the pioneers of the New Vision in France alongside Germaine Krull, one has to wait year 1993 for a first solo show to be devoted by the Centre Pompidou. Meanwhile, his documentary Aubervilliers (1945) and his work as director of photography with Luis Buñuel and Alberto Cavalcanti ensured him a solid reputation in cinephile circles after the Second World War.His identity as a modern photographer, on the other hand, takes more time to take shape. In parallel with this revaluation initiated in the late 1970s, in the field of studies on surrealism, the series of the Abattoirs de la Villette he published in the review Documents (1929) allows him to become one of the icons of the avant-garde.Surrealism, avant-garde cinema, New Vision: Lotar delivered in each of these fields iconic images while he remains an opaque and complex figure. From unpublished sources, this study proposes to consider his career the one hand into the expanded network of Parisian and European avant-garde, the other in the light of its second identity as a filmmaker and cinephile. Peripheral subject in the field of studies of inter-war French photography, links between photography and cinema partly establish the new modernist visual paradigm of the era whose Eli Lotar would be one of the exemplary figures in Paris

This research tries to analyse the beginning of the career if six French singulars directors whitch are iconic of a period or a generation, tries to understand and be interested on their course before their first movie, their youth, their influences, the financial and humain helps they found, their connections with the French critique and the presence of their first movie in all their future work

Full textAs the cinematic installment of a social revolution, the French New Wave was able to embody the changes that disrupted european societies during the early sixties. From sexual emancipation to its interest for a troubled and often rebellious youth, it is safe to say that the New Wave became the cinematic mirror of a liberation that ushered Europeans into a new era. If a new conception of cinema is usually enough to give a prominent place to the movement in film history, its trailblazing directors (Truffaut, Godard among others) also contributed to forge a new figure of male heroism in the French cinematographic landscape. Taking its distances from the blandness of academism or the trademark melancholy of poetic realism’s heroes that preceded it, the New Wave conception of heroism breathed lightness, idleness and carelessness to characters whose actors’ Jean-Pierre Léaud and Jean-Paul Belmondo (for example) arguably constituted the epitome. This masters thesis will mainly aim to examine how this singular breed of heroism seems to have tainted the voices of contemporary French cinema who have offered a vast array of reinterpretations (from pastiche to reappropriation) and remodelings of a similar kind. As a movement whose influence do not seem to have dried up – its legacy is still claimed by many filmmakers – and that goes beyond the sphere of cinema, we will primarily aspire to account for the sustainability of the New Wave through the examination of the body of work of new generations that have perpetuated its legacy. Thus, this thesis will try to establish a model definiton of the contemporary French cinema hero who does not seem so far removed from the one advocated in the sixties by French New Wave pioneers.

Full textThis thesis is one of several recent works to re-evaluate the history of film studies. Its goal is to revise the present-day conception of film historiography in France from 1896 to the early 1950s by calling into question the view of traditional film history as homogeneous portrayed by the new film historians. This thesis is divided into three sections. In the first, I describe my tools and analytical framework. I discuss the historiographical operation as it defined by Michel de Certeau, as the three-way encounter of a social space marked by dominant intellectual frameworks, a range of procedures used by historians to select their sources and construct events, and, finally, the writing of history, which involves creating a system of relations between the various events so constructed. I then describe historical currents in France from the 1870s to the early 1950s. This survey enables me to better identify the exchanges, borrowings and enrichments that occurred during this period between history and film history. In the second part, I “construct” from within a vast range of discourses – those of film historians, cultural historians and film theorists – the dominant conception of film historiography. I show that it is created by product of those who are known by many commentators as the new film historians and that it is reduced as the succession of two great historical currents: traditional film history and new film history. I then discuss how this periodisation has been instrumentalised by those who created it. The goal of the new historians is not to bring to light the plurality of writings on film history, but rather to show the break that they have brought about in film historiography. Finally, a discussion of the role accorded to the mode of film exhibition known as Hale’s Tours in general film histories published before and after the Brighton Congress enables me to soften the break between these two historical currents. In the third part, I examine several ways of approaching film history. I identify various breaks in film historiography in France with respect to the historical topic historians adopt, the conceptual tools they call upon and the relations between these historians and the sources they employ. These case studies, finally, enable me to document the wealth of film historiography in France before the early 1950s.
