Trans Identities in the French Media: Representation, Visibility,
Recognition explores the representation of trans identities in
contemporary French society, with essays in fields as wide-ranging
as translation studies, women's and gender studies, film studies,
and comics studies. This book analyzes the multi-layered meaning of
"representation" to reflect on the questions of trans visibility
and recognition in a French context. The texts selected provide
readers with in-depth and innovative analyses that discuss the
representation of trans identities in the French media, its main
challenges, as well as the pitfalls and innovations that shape
these representations today.
Youth has been represented on screen for decades and has informed
many directors' visual, narrative and social perspectives, but
there has not been a body of work addressing the richness and
complexity of this topic in a French and Francophone context. This
volume offers new insights into the works of emerging and
well-established directors alike, who all chose to place youth at
the heart of their narrative and aesthetic concerns. Showing how
the topic of 'youth' has inspired filmmakers to explore and
reinvent common tropes associated with young people, the book also
addresses how the representation of youth can be used to mirror the
tensions - political, social, religious, economic or cultural -
that agitate a society at a given time in its history.
