Abstract

Mi-homme, mi-bête, l'enfant sauvage évolue en marge de l'humanité, aux confins de l'animalité, et fait l'objet d'une inépuisable fascination. Cet être vierge de toute éducation, sans mémoire ni avenir, n'a cessé de remettre en question les frontières biologiques, éthiques et religieuses de l'homme. Il a bouleversé nos connaissances dans les domaines de l'acquisition du langage, de l'élaboration de la pensée et de l'établissement des relations sociales. Souvent victime de violences et capable de comportements agressifs, cette figure tragique a nourri un imaginaire prolifique, où se trouvent réactivés aussi bien les mythes de héros et de dieux nourris par des bêtes que ceux des monstres hybrides. S'appuyant sur différentes interprétations anthropologiques, médicales, psychiatriques et biologiques, le présent ouvrage explore l'évolution des représentations de l'enfant sauvage dans la littérature et les arts jusqu'aux créations les plus actuelles.

Abstract

Photographs of missing children are some of the most haunting images of contemporary Western society. The specter of the child at risk from abduction, abuse, or illness, conjures questions about traumatic loss, protection and the family, nostalgia and childhood innocence. Emma Wilson argues that such questions increasingly return in the work of contemporary filmmakers. She explores the representation of missing and endangered children in a number of the key films of the last decade, including Kieslowski´s Three Colours: Blue, Atom Egoyan´s Exotica, Todd Solondz´s Happiness, Jane Campion´s The Portrait of a Lady, Lars von Trier´s The Kingdom, and Almodovar´s All About My Mother. Wilson contends that the loss of a child is perceived as a limit-experience in contemporary cinema, where filmmakers attempt to transform their means of representation as a response to acute pain and horror

Abstract

A l'origine, une intuition : « l’enfant qui meurt » comme motif récurrent dans le théâtre du monde, d’Occident en Orient. Par-delà tout ce qu’un tel décès procure comme désarroi et deuils personnels, le motif cristallise un rapport au monde, révèle des stratégies de pouvoir, concentre les peurs d’une époque. Des Grecs aux Romains, de Shakespeare à Racine, « l’enfant qui meurt » renvoie à des comportements mythiques ou à des stratégies politiques. Au terme du XIXe siècle le motif gagne en fréquence et se retrouve constamment chez Tchekhov ou Ibsen, Maeterlinck ou Hauptmann. Les raisons de ces décès divergent mais elles semblent toujours échapper à la volonté des humains : maladies, accidents, noyades, chutes… La mort de l’enfant frappe les personnages comme un résidu du destin tragique, aveugle et immaîtrisable, symptôme d’une crainte d’avenir, d’une menace de stérilité et d’une impossibilité de régénération. À la fin du XXe siècle, le motif fait retour mais chez Edward Bond, Sarah Kane, Franz Xaver Kroetz, Joël Pommerat, Laurent Gaudé, Wajdi Mouawad, Hanok Lévine, ce n’est plus le destin qui frappe, mais bien souvent la mère elle-même qui tue, agression délibérée contre le principe de vie. Le cinéma et les arts plastiques ne restent pas à l’écart et le motif s’y retrouve avec une égale intensité, toujours en raison du désarroi qui se généralise : égarement sans secours, douleur sans réponse, vie sans perspective, no future. « L’enfant qui meurt », excès qui défie la représentation.

Abstract

This book argues that over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the cinema in Britain became the site on which childhood was projected, examined, and understood. Through an analysis of these projections; via case studies that encompass early cinema, pre and post-war film, and contemporary cinema; this book interprets the child in British cinema as a device through which to reflect upon issues of national culture, race, empire, class, and gender. Beginning with a discussion of early cinematic depictions of the child in Britain, this book examines cultural expressions of nationhood produced via non-commercial cinemas for children. It considers the way cinema encroaches on the moral edification of the child and the ostensible vibrancy and vitality of the British boy in post-war cinema. The author explores the representational and instrumental differences between depictions of boys and girls before extending this discussion to investigate the treatment of migrant, refugee, and immigrant children in British cinema. It ends by recapitulating these arguments through a discussion of internationally successful British blockbuster cinema. The child in this study is a mobile figure, deployed across generic boundaries, throughout the history of British cinema and embodying a range of discourses regarding the health and wellbeing of the nation. Matthew Smith is a Film Studies scholar based in North West England. He has previously worked at the University of Liverpool, UK, and the University of Lancaster, UK, from which he received his PhD.

Abstract

Imagine a society that exists solely in cinema - this book explores exactly that. Using a half-century of films from the archival collection of the National Film Board, NFB Kids: Portrayals of Children by the National Film Board of Canada, 1939-1989 overcomes a long-standing impasse about what films may be credibly said to document. Here they document not ""reality,"" but social images preserved over time - the ""NFB Society"" - an evolving, cinematic representation of Canadian families, schools and communities. During the postwar era, this society-in-cinema underwent a p
