Comment figure-t-on la peau à l’écran, dans sa double fonction de surface et d’enveloppe corporelles ? Comment les cinéastes la représentent-ils dans la diversité de ses marques et inscriptions, de ses couleurs et textures ? Quelles valeurs esthétiques, symboliques, idéologiques, voire politiques, revêt-elle au sein d’une fiction cinématographique, selon l’époque et l’aire culturelle ? Dans quelle mesure l’image et la surface écranique peuvent-elles se muer elles-mêmes en peau du film ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles chercheurs et praticiens du cinéma se proposent ici de répondre au prisme d’un corpus de films pluriel et multiculturel. Cet ouvrage collectif vous propose une plongée dans l’imaginaire épidermique de réalisateurs issus de différents horizons, au croisement de l’analyse universitaire et de témoignages inédits de professionnels du cinéma. Des Yeux sans visage à La piel que habito, de The Pillow Book à Memento, sans oublier quelques détours par les cinémas du Japon, de la Grande-Bretagne, de la Russie, des pays lusophones ou hispano-américains, les peaux de l’écran sont explorées dans la multiplicité de leurs formes, de leurs sens et de leurs enjeux.
How is skin depicted on screen, be it as the body’s surface or its envelope? How do filmmakers represent skin in its multitude of marks, inscriptions, colours and textures? What aesthetic, symbolic, ideological, or even political values does skin adopt in cinematographic fiction, depending on the period and the cultural area of the film? To what extent can the surfaces of the image and the screen themselves become the film’s skin? In this book, researchers and cinema professionals offer answers to these questions through a plural and multicultural selection of films. This collective work dives into the epidermal imaginative world of directors from various backgrounds, at the crossroads of academic analyses and exclusive testimonies from those who work in the film industry. From Eyes Without a Face to La Piel Que Habito, from The Pillow Book to Memento, and including a few incursions into cinema from Japan, Great Britain, Russia, Portuguese-speaking or Spanish-American countries, this collection explores the multiple shapes, meanings, and implications of skins of and on the screen.
