Between the superhero and the supercrip: Deaf Gain, exceptionalism and normality in contemporary film and television
The inspirational ‘supercrip’ has long been a staple of deaf film narrative, but the 2010s and 2020s have seen an explosion in new screen portrayals of superheroes whose powers operate as extreme examples of Deaf Gain. Deaf superheroes both challenge the supercrip trope by resituating their skills in a fantastical context, and perpetuate it through their continued focus on exceptional bodies. Confronting this paradox through analyses of several r…
The Dark Forest and the Lonely Village: Reimagining Centre and Margin in French Border Series, from Zone blanche (2017–2019) to La Forêt (2017)
Over the past ten years, French, Belgian and Luxembourgish television screens have become increasingly green, grey and black. By contrast with French screen production’s traditional focus on urban centres, especially Paris, many of the most successful series commissioned by national television production companies and the Netflix France division are set in remote French-speaking villages in forested border regions, where horror lurks in the deep,…

Acceptance and commitment therapy: What the history of ACT and the first 1,000 randomized controlled trials reveal
Contextual Behavioral Science (CBS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Training (“ACT” in either case) are arguably entering their 5th decade of development. This paper describes features of their early history and divides development into three phases, plus a fourth that is just beginning. In the context of that review, it examines what can be learned by a content analysis of the first ∼1000 randomized controlled trials on ACT-based interv…
Sign language and cinéma-monde in Marie Heurtin: On Deaf cinema and troubling the notion of French national language
What can films in French Sign Language teach us about the French nation? From its inception in Bill Marshall’s 2012 article of the same name, cinémamonde has been concerned with borders: linguistic and geographic, internal and external. Cinéma-monde equips us to decenter the concept of French national cinema, to unthink historical, monolingual notions of Frenchness and to reconceive of francophone film-making in terms of plurality, diversity, and…
“The boundary has been moved”: Hollywood cinéma-monde, film borders, and the multilingual assassin in Sicario and Inglourious Basterds
Transnational coproductions, multilingual dialogue, and border-crossing of many forms are growing increasingly common in contemporary cinemas. As a result, assigning a nationality to a film can prove a slippery and even arbitrary process. This article takes a new approach to films such as Sicario (Denis Villeneuve 2015) and Inglourious Basterds (Quentin Tarantino 2009), analyzing texts traditionally viewed as American through the lens of cinéma-m…

Introduction: Truth and Representation in French and Francophone Studies
Multiculturalism Obscured: Paris Museum Cultures and the Musée de l’Institut du monde arabe
Since the transformation of the Louvre from royal atelier to Republican museum in 1793, French museums have played an important role in reinforcing ideas about the place of France in the world, and defining its relationship with its others. However, many Paris museums struggle to represent, confront or express the full complexity of France’s colonial past, its multicultural population and its place on the world stage in a postcolonial era of immi…
Introduction: Mobility across media in the Francophone world
This introduces the special issue on mobility across media in various areas of the Francophone world. Articles treat the notion of mobility as understood in film, literature, visual art and advertising and explore how genres as well as national traditions intersect. They explore a range of representations of mobility, such as the mobility between people, between genres, between languages, between artistic forms and between texts across historical…
Contemporary French cinema and the langue de passage: From Dheepan to Welcome
In contemporary films like Dheepan (Jacques Audiard, 2015) and Welcome (Philippe Lioret, 2009), effects of (post)colonialism, immigration and globalisation transform French spaces into multilingual ones, in which language use is impacted by a complex network of spheres of influence. This article offers a new approach to understanding the place of the language in French films about border-crossing in today’s Europe. It paraphrases terminology from…
En français, s'il te plaît: The linguistic battlegrounds of Entre les murs
Representations of language as a tool for exerting social power are steadily increasing in the French cinema of the twenty-first century. In linguistically diverse films like Laurent Cantet’s Entre les murs (2008), language is used by institutions to establish hierarchies, and by individuals to undermine them. In such films, both French and other languages can constitute a narrative device in themselves, and a weapon for challenging authority and…

Code-switching as Power Strategy: Multilingualism and the Role of Arabic in Maïwenn’s Polisse (2011)
The presence of multilingualism, and its representation as a strategy for exerting power, is steadily increasing in twenty-first-century French cinema. In recent films such as Un Prophète (Jacques Audiard, 2009), Entre les murs (Laurent Cantet, 2008) and London River (Rachid Bouchareb, 2009), multilingualism does not merely function as a decorative or secondary element, but as a central narrative component, a device for wresting and wielding powe…

Social heterogeneity in smoking among African Americans
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the effects of sociodemographic variables on the smoking behavior of African Americans. METHODS: Data for 14,397 African-American respondents (18-64 years old) to the National Health Interview Survey in the years 1990 through 1993 were examined in multivariate models. RESULTS: Age was the strongest predictor of smoking, and men were at least 1.75 times as likely as women to be smokers (P
Maintaining safer sex behaviours in HIV-infected adolescents with haemophilia
Adolescents with haemophilia comprise 44% of the reported AIDS cases in teenagers. Unprotected sexual intercourse among this group increases the risk of HIV transmission. Understanding the influences which others may have on the sexual behaviour of adolescents with HIV and haemophilia may lead to the development of effective risk reduction strategies. An evaluative instrument, administered to 307 HIV-infected adolescents with haemophilia, assesse…
