"Over the past 30 years, the fields of world literature and world cinema have developed on parallel but largely separate tracks, with little recognition of their underlying similarities and the ways that each can learn from the other. Time Regained does not move from literature to cinema, but exists simultaneously in both fields. The 7 filmmakers selected here, Andrei Tarkovsky, Akira Kurosawa, Martin Scorsese, Raúl Ruíz, Wong Kar Wai, Stephen Daldry, and Paolo Sorrentino, are themselves also writers or people with literary training, and they produce a new type of world cinema thanks to their understanding of the world simultaneously through literature and film. In the process, their films produce new readings of literary texts that world literature studies wouldn't have been able to achieve with its own instruments. Time Regained examines how filmmakers build on literature to reconfigure the world as a landscape of dreams and how they use film to reinvent the narrative techniques of the authors on whom they draw. The selected filmmakers draw inspiration from French surrealists, modernists Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, and Marguerite Yourcenar, and predecessors such as Dante and Cao Xueqin. In the process, these filmmakers cross the borders between film and literature, nation and world, dream and reality"--

Il ne s’agit pas ici de ce que le cinéma fait à la littérature mais de ce que l’imaginaire polysémique de la projection suscite d’allers, de retours et de réécritures croisées entre les deux disciplines, y compris dans les possibles dérives « projectives » du geste interprétatif, du moment qu’il entraîne un gain heuristique et travaille au croisement de l’optique et du psychique. La projection cinématographique est en effet, d’abord, un dispositif optique. Un faisceau lumineux transporte en l’agrandissant, parfois en l’anamorphosant, une image sur un écran : image passée, qu’il actualise ; image fugace, dont il déploie l’évanescence ; image photogramme, qu’il met en mouvement et expose à la dissemblance. Or la participation émotionnelle que suscite l’optique n’est pas sans rapport avec le dispositif psychique du même nom, qui consiste à extérioriser un contenu inconscient pour le voir en le déniant comme sien. Les deux versants de la projection ont en commun d’être des mécanismes qui mettent en jeu un travail de déformation autant destiné à faire voir qu’à opacifier et faire écran. Le cinéma s’avère alors surface où s’inscrivent les traumas inassimilables auxquels la projection donne forme visible selon le modèle de la figurabilité inconsciente. Ces prémisses esquissent les contours d’un nouveau chantier interdisciplinaire dont cette publication collective entend déployer l’extension maximale et donner les premières clés de compréhension.

"Artificial Generation: Photogenic French Literature and the Prehistory of Cinematic Modernity looks at nineteenth-century literary representation and film theory, arguing that the depth of amalgamation that occurred within literary representation during this era is a key aesthetic tradition that continues to inform movies and contemporary culture today. A key part of this evolution in representation, a wide-scale artistic subjectivity around the re-emergence of the "artificial woman"-a notion that harkens back to longstanding expressions of mythological masculine subjectivity through the figure of the woman, refashioning important female figures that symbolize or problematize man's origins, including Eve and the Venus de Milo. This quest for masculine artistic subjectivity becomes a photographic and filmic drive by the turn of the century. The book explores the perpetuation of the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea in nineteenth-century literature. It then begins at the beginning of film history, with Georges Méliès in the 1890s and other "silent" filmmakers, moving through Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) and Bladerunner 2049 (2017), analyzing these twentieth-century films to illustrate how these film texts are structured around mythic and literary principles from the prior century that serve as the basis for film as medium-a phantom form for life's representation. The book provides a crucial reassessment of the longstanding, mutual exchange between cinematic and literary representation, offering a fresh perspective on the proto-cinematic imperative of simulation within nineteenth-century literary symbolism"--
