When collective memory is a source of national debate, the
public representation of history quickly becomes a locus of
controversy and ideological struggle. "Remembering the Occupation
in French Film "explores French identity as it is articulated
through cultural representations of Occupied France in French film.
This work shows how French film has allowed for a public airing of
current concerns through the lens of memory's recreations of the
Occupation. By focusing on the representation of women as the
symbol of a collective identity crisis, the author links France's
traditional female icon, Marianne, to the multiple unresolved
ambiguities that have continued to plague France's historical
reckoning with the war.
