Abstract

À partir des années 1960, le cinéma américain commence à sortir de sa longue adolescence : Elizabeth Taylor prononce des mots jusqu’alors interdits, Dustin Hoffman perd sa virginité dans les bras de Mrs. Robinson, Jon Voight fait le gigolo dans les rues de New York. À Hollywood, la sexualité fait enfin son apparition comme sujet et comme question de mise en scène. Comment représenter les rapports charnels ? Comment les intégrer à la narration et à la vie émotionnelle des personnages ? Quelle expérience le spectateur fait-il de telles scènes ? Linda Williams explore de vaste territoires cinématographiques : films étrangers, cinéma d’exploitation ou d’avant-garde, films populaires ou d’auteur, cyberpornographie, l’ouvrage traverse tous les genres. De Barbarella (Roger Vadim, 1968) au Secret de Brokeback Mountain (Ang Lee, 2005), en passant par Blue Velvet (David Lynch, 1986) et Le Retour (Hal Ashby, 1978), l’auteur propose une analyse riche et détaillée de plusieurs films, s’appuyant pour ce faire sur les recherches de divers penseurs. Les travaux de Freud, Benjamin et Foucault structurent ainsi l’ouvrage, tout comme ceux de la théoricienne du cinéma Vivian Sobchack ou du philosophe et psychanalyste J. B. Pontalis. Linda Williams cherche à comprendre la dynamique historique et culturelle par laquelle certaines images à caractère sexuel, initialement considérées comme « ob/scènes », sont devenues « en/scènes ». Premier ouvrage de la grande théoricienne américaine publié en français, Screening Sex vient combler le manque de textes de référence actuels sur la représentation du plaisir et de la pornographie

Abstract

When this book was originally published in 1987, the American feature film had been colonising the world’s imagination for over 75 years and the book studies that experience in Britain, where American films have always dominated cinema screens, both commercially and intellectually. The timeframe is the decade after the Second World War: this was a time when the British accommodated themselves to a declining role in world affairs and became in many respects a client nation of the United States. Part of this changing status was tied to the manner in which American popular culture was rapidly assimilated into Britain’s own indigenous traditional folk and popular cultures. The American feature film, arguably the most influential, and certainly the most pervasive, of these mass forms, was part of this process of cultural exchange.

Abstract

The literary tradition begun by Zora Neale Hurston in the 1930s has since flourished and taken new directions with a diverse body of fiction by more contemporary African-American women writers. This book examines the treatment of domestic violence in Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Gayl Jones’s Corregidora, Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place and Linden Hills, Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye and Love, Terry McMillan’s Mama and A Day Late and a Dollar Short, and Octavia Butler’s Seed to Harvest. These novels have given voice to oppressed and abused women.The aims of this work are threefold: to examine how female African American novelists portray domestic abuse; to outline how literary depictions of domestic violence are responsive to cultural and historical forces; and to explore the literary tradition of novels that deal with domestic abuse within the African American community.

Abstract

In this new collection of interviews, some of America's most prominent novelists identify the key intellectual developments that led to the rise of the contemporary biographical novel, discuss the kind of historical 'truth' this novel communicates, indicate why this narrative form is superior to the traditional historical novel, and reflect on the ideas and characters central to their individual works. These interviews do more than just define an innovative genre of contemporary fiction. They provide a precise way of understanding the complicated relationship and pregnant tensions between contextualized thinking and historical representation, interdisciplinary studies and 'truth' production, and fictional reality and factual constructions. By focusing on classical and contemporary debates regarding the nature of the historical novel, this volume charts the forces that gave birth to a new incarnation of this genre.
