Lorsqu'on évoque le mythe de Pygmalion, on pense à l'histoire de ce sculpteur qui, grâce à l'intervention de la déesse de l'Amour, voit sa statue d'ivoire prendre vie. Or, si on reprend dans tous les détails le récit d'Ovide, on s'aperçoit que c'est le sculpteur par son art qui anime sa créature, Vénus ne faisant que parfaire la métamorphose. C'est ce processus de création d'une femme idéale par un artiste opérant sur la base d'une projection de son désir sur le corps féminin qui est étudié ici. Pour cela, ont été mis en perspective plusieurs domaines de création (littérature, cinéma) avec le mythe fondateur afin d'analyser les diverses modalités de la "fabrication" d'une femme et de son image par un homme de l'art ainsi que la relation qui les unit. Cette recherche s'inscrit dans le champ très large d'une anthropologie du corps et de l'image à la croisée de plusieurs disciplines (histoire de l'art, lettres, ethnologie, sociologie). L'analyse du processus créatif à l'oeuvre dans chacun des domaines étudiés au-delà de la singularité de chaque création, révèle une continuité dans la configuration de l'acte créateur que même la rupture introduite par la reproductibilité technique des images ne vient pas remettre en question. Regards d'hommes sur des corps de femmes, regards créateurs de créatures, cet ouvrage met en lumière une facette des rapports entre le féminin et le masculin explorée à travers la problématique de l'image.

Between life and the art that imitates it is a vague, more shadowy category: images that exist autonomously. Pygmalion's mythical sculpture, which magnanimous gods endowed with life after he fell in love with it, marks perhaps the first such instance in Western art history of an image that exists on its own terms, rather than simply imitating something (or someone) else. In 'The Pygmalion Effect', Victor I. Stoichita delivers this living image& as well as its many avatars over the centuries& from the long shadow cast by art that merely replicates reality. Stoichita traces the reverberations of Ovid's founding myth from ancient times through the advent of cinema. Emphasizing its erotic origins, he locates echoes of this famous fable in everything from legendary incarnations of Helen of Troy to surrealist painting to photographs of both sculpture and people artfully posed to simulate statues. But it was only with the invention of moving pictures, Stoichita argues, that the modern age found a fitting embodiment of the Pygmalion story's influence. Concluding with an analysis of Alfred Hitchcock films that focuses on Kim Novak's double persona in 'Vertigo', 'The Pygmalion Effect' illuminates the fluctuating connections that link aesthetics, magic, and technical skill. In the process, it sheds new light on a mysterious world of living artifacts that, until now, has occupied a dark and little-understood realm in the history of Western image making.
