Download or read book Encyclopedia of French Film Directors written by Philippe Rège and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-12-11 with total page 1486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cinema has been long associated with France, dating back to 1895, when Louis and Auguste Lumi_re screened their works, the first public viewing of films anywhere. Early silent pioneers Georges MZli_s, Alice Guy BlachZ and others followed in the footsteps of the Lumi_re brothers and the tradition of important filmmaking continued throughout the 20th century and beyond. In Encyclopedia of French Film Directors, Philippe Rège identifies every French director who has made at least one feature film since 1895. From undisputed masters to obscure one-timers, nearly 3,000 directors are cited here, including at least 200 filmmakers not mentioned in similar books published in France. Each director's entry contains a brief biographical summary, including dates and places of birth and death; information on the individual's education and professional training; and other pertinent details, such as real names (when the filmmaker uses a pseudonym). The entries also provide complete filmographies, including credits for feature films, shorts, documentaries, and television work. Some of the most important names in the history of film can be found in this encyclopedia, from masters of the Golden Age_Jean Renoir and RenZ Clair_to French New Wave artists such as Fran_ois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard.
Download or read book The Narrative Mediterranean written by Claudia Esposito and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Narrative Mediterranean: Beyond France and the Maghreb examines literary texts by writers from the Maghreb and positions them in direct relation to increasingly querulous debates on the shifting identity of the modern Mediterranean. This book argues that reading works by writers such as Albert Camus and Tahar Ben Jelloun alongside authors such as Fawzi Mellah and Mahi Binebine in a transnational rather than binary interpretive framework transcends a colonial and postcolonial bind in which France is the dominant point of reference. While focusing on works in French, this book also examines Maghrebi authors who write in Italian. The texts examined in The Narrative Mediterranean critique narrow identitarian labeling, warn against sectarianism, and announce the necessity of multiple forms of translation and historical rewritings. Their modes of expression differ as they range from poetic to baroque to realist, as do their concerns, which include –but are not limited to—the human condition, gender identity, and emigration. Claudia Esposito explains how these writers operate between and outside the confines of several nations, tracing imagined affiliative horizons, and consequently address questions of multiple forms of cultural, political, sexual and existential belonging. Esposito convincingly demonstrates that in a Mediterranean context, moving between nations means to be in both foreign and familiar physical, affective and intellectual spaces.

Book excerpt: Africain d'origine camerounaise, Léon Tuam vit aux États-Unis où il enseigne l'espagnol et le français. Il a publié plusieurs ouvrages en anglais et en français. Sa poésie, facile à lire et assez militante, embrasse tout et reste pleine de surprises. Dans ce recueil Trop De Couteaux Dans Nos Dos, le beau et l'utile vont main dans la main sur les routes du passé, du présent et du futur de son pays, de l'Afrique et du monde. L'auteur sait que les mots ont une force et n'en fait pas l'économie. Il trouve dans le verbe une force mystérieuse. Il faut parler, se prononcer, dénoncer, louer, critiquer et proposer pour la bonne santé de nos sociétés. Il veut jouer son rôle sans se laisser distraire par ce que font ou sont les autres: Je ne dormirai pas avec un seul mot sur la langue. Je n'y laisserai pas ce grain qui peut bâtir mon pays, Je n'y laisserai pas ce qui est bien pour l'Afrique, Je ne dormirai pas avec ce qui peut sauver ce monde brisé. Sur cette langue, je ne laisserai rien. De cette langue, tout ce qui peut pousser et porter D'agréables fruits dans le monde sera craché au sol. Vous, les égoïstes et traîtres, Vous, les paresseux et peureux, Vous, les calculateurs et profiteurs, Comprenez-vous? Je dis, Rien. Vous voulez ce que vous voulez, et je sais ce que je veux. Trop De Couteaux Dans Nos Dos est un univers complexe où se rencontrent les jumelles joie et tristesse, paix et guerre, satisfaction et déception, politique et religion, culture et histoire, maladie et santé, entente et haine, vie et mort, pauvreté et richesse... L'auteur voit en l'être humain un grand tricheur qui soigne son aspect extérieur en laissant en jachère l'aspect intérieur. Et c'est ici la vraie source de nos nombreux maux. Il croit que pour atteindre la paix et le vrai bonheur, tout humain doit retourner cultiver et nettoyer ses deux jardins, à savoir: l'âme et le coeur.
