Metamorphosis as fantasy of the hybrid. Postmodern horror and the destiny of the human body in The Fly (David Cronenberg, 1986)
2000
A diferencia del resurgir animista que orienta buena parte de las películas de terror modernas, La mosca (David Cronenberg, 1986) presenta una convergencia entre los temas que ocupan a la biología y la genética y las fantasías de despedazamiento del cuerpo humano. Utilizando como soporte la idea de metamorfosis, La mosca se revela como fa cara despiadada de esa otra fantasía de cuerpos ligeros y bien formaados de la que nos habla la publicidad. La tesis de este artículo consiste en sostener que entre ambas fantasías (del cuerpo ideal y de despedazamiento y descomposición) existe un secreto vínculo que orienta nuestra llamada sensibilidad postmoderna. Ce texte prend à sa charge la transforma…

Interpretación : radical y cultural
1999
La interpretación es una operación que aplicamos a una gran variedad de dominios. Interpretamos las proferencias de nuestros interlocutores, las acciones de nuestros congéneres, un texto legado por la historia, una obra de arte o una práctica ritual. Esta enumeración de fenómenos susceptibles de interpretación no pretende ser exhaustiva. Pero permite ver tres dimensiones de la interpretación que nos interesa subrayar: la lingüística, la psicológica y la cultural. Se trata, por lo demás, de tres dimensiones no carentes de relación. Pues la interpretación de las proferencias lingüísticas de alguien nos permite atribuirle ciertas creencias y en principio podemos ver en sus creencias, en la med…
Combination of simple mirrors – childish game or useful tool?
2015
International audience; The Scottish inventor of the kaleidoscope, Sir David Brewster (1781-1868), examined references to previous combinations of mirrors in his defense of his own invention, The Kaleidoscope, Its History, Theory and Construction (1858). Sir David Brewster who was eager to prove that his invention, dating back to 1816, was genuinely innovative, dismissed the use of what he called “combinations of plane mirrors” as productive of “poor effect”. His examination of the mirror devices described in the works of Gianbattista della Porta (1535-1615) Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680) and Richard Bradley (1688-1732), led him to the conclusion that they could hardly have been the result …
‘In space things touch, in time things part': James Ivory and David Lean adapting E. M. Forster's subversive aesthetics
2010
International audience; Out of E. M. Forster's six novels, five were adapted for the screen, including three by James Ivory (A Room with a View, Maurice and Howards End) and one by David Lean (A Passage to India). Each film seems to be based on the same misapprehension, forcing the text to show what it did not clearly say and concurring with Virginia Woolf's regret that Forster was too much of a materialist writer to make his point. Yet the novels should not be limited to mere historical documents on Edwardian society, since what they really put forward is, paradoxically enough, a coherent and asserted lack of both contextual and visual information: there is hardly anything to be visualized…

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) and David Lynch's Aesthetics of Frustration
2010
This article focuses on Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (David Lynch,1992), the prequel to the TV series produced by Mark Frost and David Lynch (1990-1991), which represents a turning point in Lynch's filmography. The author argues that the film's aesthetics frustrate viewer expectations, and especially the fan of the TV series, by addressing the issue of the film's relation to the TV series. Special attention is payed to the aesthetics of time passing and to the accumulation of unusual signs in the first part of the film, with reference to Deleuze and Michel Guiomar, and the way they lead the spectator, fan or neophyte, to expect something Fantastic to happen. The article then addresses the …
Le livre illustré face à la danse : un médium empathique ?
2020
This article looks at the illustrated book as an intermedial transaction relying on a process of empathetic reception. The books examined here belong to the revival of illustration in England after the First World War: the series Impressions of the Russian Ballet (1918-1922) written and published by Cyril Beaumont, and the ‘livre de peintre’ Russian Ballet (1919) written and illustrated by David Bomberg. Part and parcel of the reception of modern dance, and more precisely of the Russian ballet, these books emphasize the symbolic significance of print in its ability to capture the ephemeral performance of dance.
The Blues of David Lynch
2009
International audience; This article is an attempt to elaborate a typology of the color blue in the color films of David Lynch up to and including Mulholland Drive (2001). The color blue is considered alternately as light, matter or verbal language. The author studies the use, function, value and meaning of blue lighting, divided into static and flashing light, and of the blue objects in Blue Velvet (1986) and Mulholland Drive. The author shows how Lynch appropriates connotations Western culture, under the influence of Christian and romantic imagery, traditionally associates with the color blue in his cinematographic compositions. The author argues that this typology has bearing not only on…
