Existentialism and Contemporary Cinema de Jean-Pierre Boulé

Existentialism and Contemporary Cinema

Editat de Jean-Pierre Boulé, Ursula Tidd
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2015
Simone de Beauvoir's work has not often been associated with film studies, which appears paradoxical when it is recognized that she was the first feminist thinker to inaugurate the concept of the gendered 'othering' gaze. This book is an attempt to redress this balance and reopen the dialogue between Beauvoir's writings and film studies. The authors analyse a range of films, from directors including Claire Denis, Michael Haneke, Lucille Hadzihalilovic, Sam Mendes, and Sally Potter, by drawing from Beauvoir's key works such as The Second Sex (1949), The Ethics of Ambiguity (1947) and Old Age (1970).

Recenzii

"This book makes an original and valuable contribution to film studies and to French studies, the latter both in the sense that it develops Beauvoir studies in an interesting direction ... Its intellectual agenda is innovative and worthwhile - Beauvoir liked cinema and recognised its liberatory potential: the usefulness of her work for analysis of cinema is thoroughly and diversely demonstrated." * Diana Holmes, University of Leeds "This is an excellent volume of essays which addresses a relatively neglected topic and conceptual approach, and is of relevance across a range of interrelated areas, specifically film studies, French studies, existentialist studies, philosophy, modern cultural and media studies." * Edmund Smyth, Manchester Metropolitan University
