Description
Summary:[...]there are new practices added now: the discussion sites and forums on the Internet, which make more or less public the debate of fans around their favorite films, and the screening (also more or less collective) of DVDs, their loan, and their exchange. Everyone can see today that the "History of Cinema" (with a capital H), such as it is taught in France in high school but also in a large part of the world8 (as Gilles Deleuze drew on it to write his books), is more an artificial construction based on the subjective tastes of the Cahiers du cinéma than a scientific analysis of all films produced. Born in 1960 in a working-class region in the east of France, Laurent Jullier is director of research at the Institut de Recherches sur le Cinema et l'Audiovisuel (IRCAV) at the University of Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris III) and professor of film studies at the Institut Europen de Cinema et d'Audiovisuel (IECA) at the University of Nancy II.
