Comme l'a note le philosophe Jacques Derrida, l'enregistrement des
voix a ete l'un des evenements marquants du siecle passe. Le
sociolinguiste William Labov s'est interesse aux motivations
sociales des variations phonologiques, mais non pas a la voix en
tant que telle. Les recherches effectuees sur la texture et la
qualite de la voix ou la relation entre la voix et l'affect sont
beaucoup plus rares. Le sujet est mentionne dans les discussions
sur la musique, le doublage, le theatre et la traduction, sans
toutefois etre analyse en profondeur. Les articles sur la voix
correspondent en outre a un developpement relativement recent dans
les domaines de la psycholinguistique et de la psychoacoustique,
lie a un regain d'interet pour les etudes sur l'emotion de maniere
generale. Le present recueil d'articles offre une perspective
pluridisciplinaire au carrefour entre la sociolinguistique, la
phonologie et les etudes cinematographiques.
In occupied France, the Nazis pursued aggressive, tightly
orchestrated measures designed to monopolize the French market and
foster agitation against Americans, Jews, Communists, and others.
The documentary film was one instrument of propaganda employed by
the Nazi occupiers, as well as the Vichy government and
collaborationists. Nearly two hundred of those documentaries have
been restored by the French Film Archives. Jean-Pierre
Bertin-Maghit's Propaganda Documentaries in France: 1940-1944 is
the first volume specifically devoted to nonfiction propaganda
films distributed in France during the "dark years" of the German
Occupation. This book provides a concise overview of Vichy and
German film policies, including the purchase of an extensive
network of movie houses, many of which were expropriated from
Jewish owners. In addition, popular prewar American and French
feature films were banned, while theaters were flooded with
propagandist titles. Bertin-Maghit also illustrates how ideological
priorities and political negotiations played out in both topical
documentaries and weekly newsreels, juxtaposing Vichy's
integrationist propaganda with German-sponsored documentaries of
agitation and exclusion. While documentaries are the primary focus
of this work, the author also addresses other forms of propaganda,
such as newsreels and posters. Appearing in English for the first
time-and featuring a filmography of 178 restored works-Propaganda
Documentaries in France: 1940-1944 is a provocative and
wide-ranging work of history and cinema that will be of interest to
film scholars and historians as well as sociologists and political
scientists.

Marcelline Block's Situating the Feminist Gaze and Spectatorship in
Postwar Cinema breaks new ground in exploring feminist film theory.
It is a wide-ranging collection (re)visiting important theoretical
questions as well as offering close analyses of films produced in
the United States, France, England, Belgium, and Russia. This
anthology investigates exciting areas of research for critical
inquiry into film and gender studies as well as feminist, queer,
and postfeminist theories, and treats film texts from Marguerite
Duras to 21st century horror films; from Agnes Varda's 2007
installation at the Pantheon to the post-Soviet Russian filmmakers
Aleksei Balabanov and Valerii Todorovskii; from Quentin Tarantino's
Death Proof to Sofia Coppola's postfeminist trilogy; from Chantal
Akerman's "transhistorical, transgressive and transgendered gaze"
to the "quantum gaze" in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park; from
Hitchcock's "good-looking blondes" to the career-woman-in-peril
thriller, among others. According to the semiotician Marshall
Blonsky of the New School University in New York, "given the
breadth of the editor's choices, this volume makes a splendid
contribution to feminist and cinematic fields, as well as cultural
and media studies, postmodernism, and postfeminism. It lends
readers `new eyes' to view canonical and other film texts." David
Sterritt, chairman of the National Society of Film Critics, states
that this anthology "should be required reading for students and
scholars, among other readers interested in the interaction of
cinema with contemporary culture." Situating the Feminist Gaze and
Spectatorship is prefaced by Jean-Michel Rabate's brilliant essay,
"Mulvey was the First..."
Gender is an exciting area of current research in the medical
humanities, and by combining the study of medical narratives with
theories of gender and sexuality, the essays in Gender Scripts in
Medicine and Narrative illustrate the power of gender stereotypes
to shape the way medicine is practiced and perceived. The chapters
of Gender Scripts in Medicine and Narrative investigate gendered
perceptions and representations of healers and patients in fiction,
memoir, popular literature, poetry, film, television, the history
of science, new media, and visual art. The fourteen chapters of
Gender Scripts in Medicine and Narrative are organized into four
cohesive sections. These chapters investigate the impact of gender
stereotypes on medical narratives from a variety of points of view,
considering narratives from diverse languages, time periods,
genres, and media. Each section addresses some of the most pressing
and provocative issues in theories of gender and the medical
humanities: I. Gendering the Medical Gaze and Pathology; II.
Monitoring Race through Reproduction; III. Rescripting Trauma and
Healing; and IV. Medical Masculinities.Along with these sections,
Gender Scripts Medicine and Narrative features a preface by Rita
Charon, MD, PhD, Director and Founder, The Program in Narrative
Medicine, Columbia University, a foreword by Marcelline Block, and
an introduction by Angela Laflen. This collection takes a truly
interdisciplinary look at the topic of gender and medicine, and the
impressive group of contributors to the anthology represent a wide
range of academic fields of inquiry, including medical humanities,
bioethics, English, modern languages, women's studies, film theory,
postcolonial theory, art history, the history of science and
medicine, new media studies, theories of trauma, among others. This
approach of crossing boundaries of genre and discipline makes the
volume accessible to scholars who are concerned with narrative,
gender, and/or medical ethics.Click here for a recent review of
