French B Movies
In the impoverished outskirts of French cities, known as the banlieues, minority communities are turning to American culture, history, and theory to make their own voices, cultures, and histories visible. Filmmakers have followed suit, turning to Hollywood genre conventions to challenge notions of identity, belonging, and marginalization in mainstream French film. French B Movies proposes that French banlieue films, far from being a fringe genre, offer a privileged site from which to understand the current state of the French film industry in an age of globalization. This gritty style appears in popular arthouse films such as Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haine and Bande de filles (Girlhood) along ...
Arts, Ecologies, Transitions
Arts, Ecologies, Transitions provides in-depth insights into how aesthetic relations and current artistic practices are fundamentally ecological and intrinsically connected to the world. As art is created in a given historic temporality, it presents specific modalities of productive and sensory relations to the world. With contributions from 49 researchers, this book tracks evolutions in the arts that demonstrate an awareness of the environmental, economic, social, and political crises. It proposes interdisciplinary approaches to art that clarify the multiple relationships between art and ecology through an exploration of key concepts such as collapsonauts, degrowth, place, recycling, and wa...
Reimagining North African immigration
This volume takes the pulse of French post-coloniality by studying representations of trans-Mediterranean immigration to France in recent literature, television and film. The writers and filmmakers examined have found new ways to conceptualize the French heritage of immigration from North Africa and to portray the state of multiculturalism within – and in spite of – a continuing Republican framework. Their work deflates stereotypes, promotes respect for cultural and ethnic minorities and gives a new dignity to subjects supposedly located on the margins of the Republic. Establishing a productive dialogue with Marianne Hirsch’s ground-breaking concept of postmemory, this volume provides a much-needed vocabulary for rethinking the intergenerational legacy of trans-Mediterranean immigrants.

Le cinéma en mouvements depuis la Nouvelle Vague
Depuis la Nouvelle Vague française, le cinéma mondial est traversé de mouvements - agitateurs d'un art en perpétuelle évolution - qui sont analysés ici dans leur réalité éparse et hétérogène : territoires dissidents créés par des cinéastes face à des productions nationales figées (Alexander Kluge et Edgar Reitz en Allemagne, Nagisa Oshima au Japon, génération des chestidesiatniki en URSS ou de la Nouvelle Sensibilité en Israël), écho de mouvements antérieurs (la Post-Retomada au Brésil) ou d'un contexte social et politique spécifique (cinéma politique italien des années 70, cinéma beur ou « film sexuel » en France), manifestes (Zanzibar, Dogma 95), regroupement autour d'intérêts esthétiques et économiques communs (Diagonale), sont parmi les hypothèses explorées par cet ouvrage.
A l'oeuvre au cinéma !
Que ce soit en Algérie, en Tunisie, en Éthiopie, au Ghana, au Cameroun, au Sénégal, en Turquie, au Liban, aux Émirats arabes unis, au Qatar, etc., mais aussi depuis la France, des professionnelles du cinéma se sont engagées avec une énergie hors du commun, non seulement pour faire des films, mais aussi pour contribuer au développement plus global des secteurs dans lesquels elles oeuvrent. Cet ouvrage s'attache à des parcours singuliers, des trajectoires pionnières de réalisatrices ou techniciennes, offre des états des lieux nationaux et rend compte de la contestation du statu quo par les nouvelles générations qui créent ainsi de nouvelles opportunités, s'arrogent des postes et imposent des pratiques plus inclusives.
Screenwriters in French cinema
Screenwriters have been central figures in French cinema since the conversion to sound, from early French-language talkies for the domestic market to lavish literary adaptations of the notorious 'quality tradition' of the 1950s, and from the ‘aesthetic revolution’ of the New Wave to the contemporary popular and auteur film in the 2000s. The first English language study to address screenwriters in French cinema, this volume will be of particular interest to scholars and students of French film and screenwriting. Taking a diachronic approach, it includes case studies drawn from the early sound period to the present day in order to offer an alternative historiography of French cinema, shed light on these overlooked figures and revisit the vexed question of film authorship.
Understanding Child Abuse and Neglect - Research and Implications
Child abuse and neglect is a scourge in our global community. In the United States alone, the nation loses an average of five children a day to child abuse and neglect. The impact of child abuse and neglect is significant. It can affect esteem, health and development, learning outcomes, and more importantly, closeness between a child and their parent. This book highlights the issues associated with child abuse and neglect and captures the nuances of its effect on child development and psychosocial well-being. The authors are from the international community and speak to the dynamics of child abuse and neglect across nations.
