From Alain Resnais's theatrical fictions to Jean-Luc Godard's Brechtian conception of the cinematic medium, not forgetting Jacques Rivette's incorporation of theatre rehearsals and theatrical plots into the filmic fabric, the theatre takes centre stage in the New Wave as cinema's embodied 'other'. The chapter explores the manifold interactions with theatre and theatricality in New Wave film, focusing on intermedial tropes such as mise en abyme and metalepsis, but also interrogating the theatre's capacity - as postulated by Rivette - to reveal cinema to itself. We will see that the collective practices of avant-garde theatre of the 1950s and 60sopen up the concept of the auteur, creating a new space for improvisation and creative collaboration.","PeriodicalId":169918,"journal":{"name":"Intermedial Dialogues","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124174599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Literature resurfaces not only in screen adaptation, but, more diffusely, in the myriad citations, inscriptions, and allusions punctuating the cinematic text, as well as in the graphological tropes used to legitimise film as an art form ('auteur', 'cinematic writing', 'camera pen'). The chapter assesses novel attitudes of the New Wave directors to adaptation and to questions of cinematic purity, revisits the collaboration between Nouveau roman writers and Nouvelle Vague directors, and analyses the manifold - sometimes irreverent, sometimes celebratory - incorporations of literature in a selection of films. Particular attention is given to the incorporation of the written word in Jean-Luc Godard's New Wave films as a symbol of media tensions in the director's work, and as a crucial example of his interstitial aesthetic, which breaks down traditional media boundaries.","PeriodicalId":169918,"journal":{"name":"Intermedial Dialogues","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114605147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter analyses New Wave filmmakers' diverse engagement with architecture - old and new - and urban change in both fictional and documentary genres. Themes for discussion include New Wave directors' ambivalent representation of the new forms of architectural modernity that emerged in France in the 1950s and 60s; their interrogation of the living conditions on modern housing estates; and their examination of the relationship between the built environment, affect, and memory. The chapter also considers the movement's fascination with the tactile textures and surfaces of the city.","PeriodicalId":169918,"journal":{"name":"Intermedial Dialogues","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127553151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
