This original study examines the representation of the body in French New Wave films through discussion of a series of films by Jean-Luc Godard, perhaps the central figure of the French New Wave.Through analysis of À bout de souffle, Une femme est une femme, Le Mépris and Alphaville, alongside discussion of some of Godard’s lesser-known French New Wave films, the book explores the interrelation between bodies, books and bathrooms that they facilitate. In so doing, it aims to destabilise the French New Wave’s myth of male exceptionalism and denaturalise the gender dynamic most commonly viewed at its heart, revealing that the women who make up a fundamental part of its fabric are not textually trapped by Godard’s authorial presence. Instead, their corporeality disrupts any purported authorial and national ownership of their bodies.Given the enduring popularity and visibility of the French New Wave, and of Jean-Luc Godard, in universities and journals, The Body in Jean-Luc Godard’s New Wave Films will appeal to scholars in the disciplines of French and film studies, as well as to undergraduate and postgraduate students of these disciplines.

Since the pioneering work of Vivian Sobchack, Laura U. Marks and Jennifer M. Barker, film studies has increasingly embraced multisensory spectatorship. Such approaches privilege a carnal vision and knowledge of the world. Vital Resonances furthers this work and attunes to what is a foundational, yet overlooked, principle of film studies' bodily turn: resonance. In keeping with the soft touch that characterises some of this turn's critical literature the feel of velvet, the (frustrated) tactility of a sari, the skin of a lover's body resonance has been brushed over. Through the work of three leading figures in European cinema, Agnes Varda, Michael Haneke and Jean-Luc Nancy, this book establishes resonance as a critical and conceptual paradigm for film analysis, transforming it from a footnote to the bodily turn and finally placing it at the forefront of our fleshy encounter with film.

Establishes resonance as a critical and conceptual paradigm for film analysisBrings together, for the first time, the work of three of the leading figures in European film: Agn s Varda, Michael Haneke and Jean-Luc NancyEstablishes resonance as a critical and conceptual paradigm for film analysis by untethering it from sonority and foregrounding how it deals with matter in movement, exploring it philosophically, critically and sensuouslyYokes together discussions of resonance, the image, the body and being from across Nancy's oeuvre in order to illustrate how they demonstrate a particular propensity for the study of filmElaborates further the Nancean vernacular, in particular resonance, being, the image, filmer/to film and bloodSince the pioneering work of Vivian Sobchack, Laura U.
