Symptom-image and Narratives of the Real in Histoire(s) du cinéma
Symptom-image and Narratives of the Real in Histoire(s) du cinéma

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on a theoretical, analytical and creative climate, where the link between visuality and narrative, between history and real, between seeing and truth no longer regards the restricted area of a discipline, but the partition line which, in the manner of Rancière, we could define through the way in which we read images/ texts: manners of seeing and making visible, regimes of understanding the alterity and the mechanisms through which the real emerges, happens. Following a conceptual line initiated by Carl Einstein, the paper focuses on a project which prompted many of the theoretical studies in the past ten years: the eight episodes of Histoire(s) du cinema by which Jean-Luc Godard ends (which for Derrida would mean: unleashes, produces the spectre of) the 20th century.
