The purpose is threefold: to see détournement 1) as part of a re-conceptualization of montage after World War II; 2) as a critique of the reification of political representation during les trentes glorieuses, the so-called Golden Age of capitalism from 1950’s to the 1970’s; 3) as a method for the (de)construction of subjectivities. For Debord and the Situtionist International [SI], détournement was a re- conceptualization and radicalization of montage – a method of appropriating an image, of turning it away and leading it astray from its seemingly natural, normal use. Emphasizing various contemporaneous critiques of the relation between power, knowledge, and subjection/subjectivation (especially, the critiques of Debord, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze), I argue for the practice of cinematic détournement as a deconstruction of the image that not only dissociates it from its source, but also dissociates our habituated modes of perception and experience, action and reaction, of relating to the world and to oneself – especially those modes through which one constitutes and recognizes oneself as a subject. The dissertation underscores the affective force of such dissociations, especially its implications for the struggles against subjection/subjectivation, that is, the struggles against a form of power in which procedures of subjection become ever more implicated with the processes of subjectivation. Particularly, I point to how détournement is deployed in attempts to iv respond to the unsettling, disjunctive encounter with the new political subjectivity of the colonized subject in France of the 1950’s, 60’s – not only in relation to the struggles for decolonization (for example, the Algerian War, an especially significant example for France at this moment), but also in relation to the struggles against “the colonization of everyday life” (for example, the SI’s call to address the problem of the quality of life, of “happiness,” during the period of an aggressive, at times violent, form of state-led modernization). In short, the dissertation aligns the practice of cinematic détournement with a method of analysis that seeks to deconstruct the habituated truths about one’s relation to oneself and others (particularly, the psychoanalysis of Jacques Lacan and Jean Laplanche). And it addresses the significance of this method in the films of not only Debord but also his contemporaries, Rouch (cinéma-vérité) and Godard (French new wave, Dziga Vertov group) – two of the foremost practitioners of a new mode of filmmaking that unsettles the dichotomy between documentary and fiction, objective and subjective, true and false, and poses the question of how truth is articulated, imposed, enacted upon and for whom. v Acknowledgements At the end of a long and challenging process of writing a dissertation, I am moved, even overwhelmed, by the number of people who have assisted me in various ways throughout this entire endeavor. I offer my most sincere gratitude to my advisor, Pavle Levi, for his unparalleled generosity and patience, his enthusiasm and support for my work, and whose own work has been and always will be a perpetual source of inspiration. I thank him, and other members of my doctoral committee – Tom McDonough, Jean Ma, Scott Bukatman – for their insights and encouragement, especially during the final stages of the materialization of this dissertation. I’d also like to thank Pam Lee whose teaching was significant in the formative stages of thinking and writing. Among the many colleagues from Stanford University, I am indebted to the camaraderie of Kiersten Jackobsen, Karen Rapp and to the care of Jill Davis without whom it would have been impossible to complete this degree. I am also specially grateful to the support of following colleagues throughout the process: Daniel Hackbarth, Arnold Kemp, Diane Landry, Naomi Nagano, Megan O’Hara, Kenneth White, and others. Ron Clark and the Whitney Independent Study Program have been influential in the crystallization of my arguments for this dissertation. I thank Ron Clark for our invaluable conversations about critical theory and his commitment to creating an exceptional space for the rigorous discussions/debates about politics and aesthetics. vi As a critical studies fellow at the Whitney ISP, I have been fortunate to be in dialogue with many of the writers and artists who have made significant contributions to the fields of study with which this dissertation is concerned. In particular, I thank Emily Apter, Benjamin Buchloh, Tom McDonough, and Laura Mulvey for their guidance during the process of writing the initial chapter of this dissertation. From the Whitney ISP, I’d like to single out the support of the following friends: Matthew Buckingham, Maggie Clinton, David Dempewolf, Ewa Einhorn, Elaine Gan, Andrea Geyer, Tamar Guimares, Sharon Hayes, Lan Thao Lam, Steven Lam, Simon Leung, Lana Lin, Rit Premnath, Minnie Scott, Virginia Solomon, Mike Sperlinger, Jeannine Tang, Jonathan Thomas, among others. I also thank Anne Lislegaard and Jee-Eun Kim for their invitation to teach and present my work at the School of Media Arts, Royal Danish Art Academy of Fine Arts and the Malmö Art Academy, Lund University. Significantly, the bulk of this dissertation was written whilst teaching at the Film Program of SUNY Purchase College. I offer genuine gratitude to my colleagues and students who have taught me the strength of the pursuit of theory through practice. Of my fellow faculty and staff, I thank Iris Cahn, Deanna Kamiel, Lorraine Miller – as well as Tom Gunning, a former faculty, who established a model for the dialogue between film theorists and filmmakers and whose guidance for a fledgling teacher have been most informative. For sharing their ambitions and passions for an intellectual cinema, I thank all of my students, especially the students of my seminars on André Bazin, Jean-Luc Godard, and the Soviet School of Montage. In particular, I thank my teaching assistants Joel Anderson and Nikki Morse. vii Last but not least, I offer my deepest, deepest gratitude to Una Chung and to my family, whose contribution throughout this difficult process of dissertation writing is even more difficult to put in words. So, to them, I offer a simple but most heartfelt thank you. It is to my family that I dedicate the efforts of this dissertation: Junyoung Park, Chulsoo Yoon, Eunha Park, Sojin Yoon. viii Table of Contents: “Havoc of Matter” Détournement in the Films of Debord, Rouch, Godard Abstract iv Acknowledgements v Table of Contents ix List of Illustrations x Introduction 1 Chapter 1: “Détournement” 17 Chapter 2: “Pédovision” 55 Chapter 3: “Close-Up” 130 Conclusion 183 Select Bibliography 187 Illustrations 201 ix List of Illustrations Fig. 1. “The Return of Charles Fourier” Fig. 2.

  • Youth Uprising the Lettrist Alternative to Post-War Trauma
    Please, return this text to box no. 403 available at museoreinasofia.es Youth Uprising The Lettrist Alternative to Post-War Trauma Lettrism was the first art movement after the Second World War to reintroduce the radicalism of the first avant-garde trends, particularly Dada and Surrealism, and became a communicating vessel for the Neo-avant- garde trends that followed. Lettrism is conceived as a total creative movement, a movement that doesn’t forsake any medium or field of action: poetry, music, film, visual arts or drama. Isou managed to place Lettrism ‘at the vanguard of the avant-garde,’ in contrast with the decline of Dada and Surrealism. During this period Lettrism acquired the true dimension of a group, although the first differences appeared almost at once, producing a split that some years later and in concurrence with other cells of rebe- llious creativity would give rise to the Si- tuationist International. By order of mem- bership, the individuals who joined the first Lettrism is one of the few avant-garde isms that still have a secret history. With the ex- Lettrist group included Gabriel Pomerand, ception of France, its native and almost exclusive soil (radiant Paris, to be more precise), François Dufrêne, Gil Joseph Wolman, the movement was only known superficially, remotely and partially. Ironically, Lettrism Jean-Louis Brau, Serge Berna, Marc’O, is often referred to as an episode prior to Situationism, given the mutual disdain and the Maurice Lemaître, Guy-Ernest Debord, ruthless insults the groups levelled at each other. Furthermore, it is a very complex move- Yolande du Luart and Poucette.

  • A Book Lover's Journey: Literary Archaeology and Bibliophilia in Tim
    Verbeia Número 1 ISSN 2444-1333 Leonor María Martínez Serrano A Book Lover’s Journey: Literary Archaeology and Bibliophilia in Tim Bowling’s In the Suicide’s Library Leonor María Martínez Serrano Universidad de Córdoba [email protected] Resumen Nativo de la costa occidental de Canadá, Tim Bowling es uno de los autores canadienses más aclamados. Su obra In the Suicide’s Library. A Book Lover’s Journey (2010) explora cómo un solo objeto —un ejemplar gastado ya por el tiempo de Ideas of Order de Wallace Stevens que se encuentra en una biblioteca universitaria— es capaz de hacer el pasado visible y tangible en su pura materialidad. En la solapa delantera del libro de Stevens, Bowling descubre la elegante firma de su anterior dueño, Weldon Kees, un oscuro poeta norteamericano que puso fin a su vida saltando al vacío desde el Golden Gate Bridge. El hallazgo de este ejemplar autografiado de la obra maestra de Stevens marca el comienzo de una meditación lírica por parte de Bowling sobre los libros como objetos de arte, sobre el suicidio, la relación entre padres e hijas, la historia de la imprenta y la bibliofilia, a la par que lleva a cabo una suerte de arqueología del pasado literario de los Estados Unidos con una gran pericia literaria y poética vehemencia. Palabras clave: Tim Bowling, bibliofilia, narrativa, arqueología del saber, vestigio. Abstract A native of the Canadian West Coast, Tim Bowling is widely acclaimed as one of the best living Canadian authors. His creative work entitled In the Suicide’s Library. A Book Lover’s Journey (2010) explores how a single object —a tattered copy of Wallace Stevens’s Ideas of Order that he finds in a university library— can render the past visible and tangible in its pure materiality.

  • A Visionary Book: Charles Nodier's L'h Istoire Du Roi De Boheme Et De Ses Sept Chateaux
    A Visionary Book: Charles Nodier's L'H istoire du Roi de Boheme et de ses sept chateaux Anne-Marie Christin ABSTRACT: Charles Nodier's Histoire du Roi de Boheme is original in several respects: it is the first French Romantic illustrated book; it introduces into writing a completely new typographic expressivity; and it represents an aside in the oeuvre of an author torn between "bibliomania" and the love of fantastic tales. The purpose of this article is to analyze the various functions of the image and the typography within L'Histoire du Roi de de Boheme, and to show that these visual representations of the written word, which give the effect of both spectacle and plastic utterance, mark the beginning of a quest that will find its completion many years later. It will also be seen that the author who is thus dispossessed of his control over narration is the very same who is fascinated by the "dispossession" of dreams; and that for him, a compelling necessity links this book to the oneiric inspiration peculiar to his tales. In January of 1830, when L'Histoire du Roi de Boheme et de ses sept chateaux was beginning to appear in bookstores, Charles Nodier wrote: "This is a work which does not strike a responsive chord in any mind, and which is not of this era."1 In point of fact, the book was a commercial fail­ ure, and it even bankrupted its publisher, Delangle, who fell victim to the considerable expense of its production. "To the loony bin with the King of Bohemia!" was the refrain with which, in a satire by Sci pion Marin two years later, several well-known literary figures attempted to drown out the litany of Nodier's onomatopoeias and quotations assaulting their ears.2 Champfleury, analyzing the principal illustrated books of the Romantic era- of which Nodier's was the first- confirms the book's misunderstood nature: "By its printing, by the accents of its vignettes, the Roi de de Boheme continues to be a most singular note in the world of the Romantic book"; but, he adds, "Nodier wished to be read ...

  • “Copies Without Originals”: Manipulation, Mediation, and Mediatization in Performance and Recording Practices
    \Copies Without Originals": Manipulation, Mediation, and Mediatization in Performance and Recording Practices by Alyssa Michaud Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.A. degree in Musicology School of Music Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa c Alyssa Michaud, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 Abstract This thesis examines case studies and historical accounts taken from different periods of the history of recording technology, and addresses questions concerning the impact of mediatization, manipulation, and mediation on listeners' and performers' approaches to music. The project considers the development of the idea of \copies without orig- inals," and of the ideological frameworks that have been used to describe and classify recorded sound. The first case study covers the early days of the phonograph and its de- velopment in Victorian society, then contrasts the values and motivations of those early years with modern-day rock performance and its own value systems. Moving into the mid-twentieth-century, a chapter of this thesis is devoted to the work of Glenn Gould, and the possibilities for tape manipulation that the Canadian pianist explored during the period of his career that was focused on the recording studio. Lastly, this project examines the innovative, user-driven methods of music-making that are gaining momen- tum today, including Bj¨ork's Biophilia app album, and the emergence of a new genre of popular music in Asia that uses vocal synthesizers in place of live performers. By exploring these case studies alongside the works of scholars in musicology, media studies, sound theory, film and television, and popular music studies, this thesis demonstrates how cultural need, individual innovation, and social involvement interact to direct the development and application of emerging media technologies.

    The Wayward Spectator by Carlo Comanducci A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of doctor of philosophy Department of English Literature School of English, Drama and American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham, May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Through a heterogeneous set of contributions from film studies, psychoanaly- sis and critical theory, including Leo Bersani and Laura Marks, Jacques Rancière and Jean-Bertrand Pontalis, the dissertation confronts spectatorship, film theory, and their relation, on the issue of emancipation and of its discursive regulation. Against the pedagogical forms of film theory and the authoritarian framing of the spectator’s position that can be seen to be integral to the functioning of the cine- matographic apparatus, this work suggests that we consider theory as an internal aspect of film experience, rather than as its external explanation. Arguing for the fundamental emancipation of the spectator together with the heteronomy of the subject and the discursivity of film experience, the dissertation addresses what, in film experience, resists being reduced within intellectual mastery, metapsycho- logical structures, and the logic of interpretation, and rather remains radically incommensurable with the principles of its intelligibility.

This is where, Marcus argues, we can locate the true voice of the century, a new consciousness, the alchemy of an undis- covered country. From this starting-point, we propose a journey into the tangled relationship between music, the avant-gardes and counterculture. In 1942, Isidore Isou, a Jew from Romania, created in Bucharest an artistic and cultural trend that claimed for a “new republic” of letters. He brought it to Paris in 1945, and this became “Lettrism”, one of the most inventive but also one of the most unknown movements of the post-war avant-- gardes.
