Abstract

Michel Chion is well known in contemporary film studies for his innovative investigations into aspects of cinema that scholars have traditionally overlooked. Following his work on sound in film in Audio-Vision and Film, a Sound Art, Words on Screen is Chion's survey of everything the seventh art gives us to read on screen. He analyzes titles, credits, and intertitles, but also less obvious forms of writing that appear on screen, from the tear-stained letter in a character's hand to reversed writing seen in mirrors. Through this examination, Chion delves into the multitude of roles that words on screen play: how they can generate narrative, be torn up or consumed but still remain in the viewer's consciousness, take on symbolic dimensions, and bear every possible relation to cinematic space. With his characteristic originality, Chion performs a poetic inventory of the possibilities of written text in the film image. Taking examples from hundreds of films spanning years and genres, from the silents to the present, he probes the ways that words on screen are used and their implications for film analysis and theory. In the process, he opens up and unearths the specific poetry of visual text in film. Exhaustively researched and illustrated with hundreds of examples, Words on Screen is a stunning demonstration of a creative scholar's ability to achieve a radically new understanding of cinema.

Abstract

"Recent years have seen a striking surge in the production of literary biopics. Writers turned cinema subject in recent films include Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Iris Murdoch, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Lillian Hellman, Allen Ginsberg, Kafka, Keats, Kaufman, and many more. This cultural phenomenon prompts a re-examination of a long and varied history of cinematic engagements with authorial creativity. The Writer on Film examines films about writers, real and fictional, from the silent era to the present. It asks how filmmakers have narratively and iconographically configured writers' lives and acts of writing. How might the mysterious processes of a literary imagination at work be cinematically expressed? What views of inspiration, muses, redrafting and publication have films taken and how, in cinematic representation, have these been gendered? How has cinema chosen to configure the tools and symbols of writing - quills, pens, ink pots, desks, studies, typewriters, keyboards and books? And what cultural and commercial agendas are revealed in cinema's compulsive return not just to literary material (whose story is already well told) but, specifically, to literary process (whose story is not)? Case studies include Diary of a Country Priest, Letter from an Unknown Woman, Julia, My Brilliant Career, Prospero's Books, Adaptation, Shakespeare in Love, Sylvia, The Lives of Others, Becoming Jane, Atonement, Bright Star, Enid and Howl"--

Abstract

Du surréalisme jusqu'aux activités expérimentales du groupe Cobra, l'oeuvre du poète belge Christian Dotremont n'a cessé de placer le cinéma au coeur d'une entreprise qui croise écriture et peinture. L'oeil magique de la caméra surréaliste lui permet de suppléer aux limitations de la vue humaine, avant de plaider en faveur d'un cinéma expérimental qui ouvre à l'exploration des contrées du "JAMAIS VU", afin de donner à voir l'invisible. Durant les années qui suivront l'aventure de Cobra, Dotremont rédige différents textes et scénarios pour les films de ses amis qui font émerger la tension entre écriture et image, entre une modernité qu'il faut fuir et le voyage vers l'ailleurs. Chacun de ces textes contribue à la genèse poétique du logogramme. Le cinéma avec les Marx Brothers, Chaplin ou Tati constitue pour Dotremont une source d'humour qui traverse sa poésie et dès qu'il se livre devant la caméra, ce sera pour donner corps au mythe de Logogus et faire voir au spectateur la spontanéité graphique et poétique du logogramme en train de se peindre.
