Racines et deracinements au grand ecran examine les representations de la migration dans le cinema francais contemporain. L'heritage du passe colonial francais, la decolonisation et les vagues d'immigration vers l'Hexagone continuent de jouer un role majeur dans la societe francaise d'aujourd'hui. Les debats lies a l' identite nationale et a l'insecurite, la banalisation du programme du Front National, les reconduites a la frontiere de Roms ou la crise des migrants en Mediterranee font que la question migratoire est une preoccupation pour la societe et la scene politique francaise. L'ouvrage analyse comment des realisateurs francais tels que Yamina Benguigui, Laurent Cantet, Philippe Faucon, Philippe Lioret ou Marie-Claude Pernelle abordent les trajectoires migratoires (passees et presentes) propres a l'espace national francais et les debats qu'elles suscitent. Racines et deracinements au grand ecran examines representations of migration in contemporary French cinema. The historical legacy of the French colonial past and of decolonization, with its subsequent waves of immigration to the Hexagone continues to impact French society. Debates over "e;national identity"e; and insecurity, the increasing success of the Front National platform, the recent Roma repatriations, and migrant crisis in the Mediterranean are only a few examples of the importance of the migration question in French society and politics today. The book analyzes how migratory trajectories (past and present) within the national French space, and the debates surrounding them, have been addressed by contemporary French directors - amongst others Yamina Benguigui, Laurent Cantet, Philippe Faucon, Philippe Lioret and Marie-Claude Pernelle - in their films.
