Dear Chuck,
These were my first sketches. I'm sorry I sent it in such a draft form but I
needed a first feedback and I got it: it is indeed too big.
Well, I guess I'll have to wait a little before thinking of being a Fernand
Braudel of the movie history :)
More precisely, I will restrain the subject (time & place) this way:
the representation of the proletariat in films in the age of its conceptual
decline (in Communist Parties discourses as well as in the mainstream), i.e.
from the mid-70's to end 80's in western Europe (France, Italy and
West-Germany even if there were no official Communist party in the GDR).
regarding Jacques Ranciere, he wrote on cinema some very interesting articles
on 1900 (Bertolucci) for instance, trying to articulate the discourse of the
film with the current at that time Historical Compromise plans of the French
and Italian CPs. That's the kind of literature among his other books I'm
reading for my project (I paid my duty to Marx, Engels and Lenin some years ago).
thanks again for any advice.
Pierre-Emmanuel
