The Ethnographic Optic
Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, Alain Resnais, and the Turn Inward in 1960s French Cinema
Summary
The Ethnographic Optic: Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, Alain Resnais, and the Turn Inward in 1960s French Cinema (Indiana UP, 2024) explores the significant ties between colonial ethnography and innovative works of 1960s French cinema. Laure Astourian probes the emergence of a self-aware urban French ethnography in both fictional and documentary films during the era of decolonization and offers fresh readings of canonical films including Moi, un Noir (Jean Rouch, 1958), La jetée (Chris Marker, 1962), and Muriel ou le Temps d’un retour (Alain Resnais, 1963)
Here's the link to Astourian's essay on Jean Rouch's Moi, Un Noir discussed in the podcast.
