Plastic Surgery
Analysing Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin (2013), this article provides an overview of the importation of suture theory from psychoanalysis into film theory and Žižek’s revisiting of this theory, then bringing about a rapprochement between the concepts of suture and Malabou’s destructive plasticity, as expounded in her work The New Wounded. The forms of wounded subjectivity we find there are unable to stitch themselves into the illusory narrativ…
Terra Nullius Times Two
Tracing a line across the career of John West-Sooby and between the two cultures that his work and life have straddled, this article begins by examining West-Sooby’s writings on the drawings of Charles-Alexandre Lesueur, one of the artists-in-residence on the Baudin expeditions. When considered alongside the work of Nicolas-Martin Petit, one of the other artists on Nicolas Baudin’s voyages, Lesueur’s work can be seen as a different version of the…
Un film français et fier de l’être”
Reading Gaspar Noé’s 2018 film Climax against the grain of the majority of critical reactions and the director’s own pronouncements, this article argues that this is a deeply political film. In line with West’s analysis of the films of the New French Extremity as works that are not (as suggested by Quandt) passive but a committed and politically engaged form of cinema, this article suggests that Climax can be read as an allegory of France’s curre…
Blanchot and the Resonant Spaces of Literature, Sound, Art and Thought
This article sets out to think through the double absence of literary language posited by Blanchot in L’Espace littéraire in the shadow (or, rather, echo) cast by a consideration of Alvin Lucier’s piece I am sitting in a room and the sound installation practice of Bernhard Leitner. What I wish to suggest is that a consideration of these sound works enables us to identify a parallelism in the mechanics of the literary sign that creates the space o…
Cadrage exquis
In the first instance, this article revisits the critical reception of Jean-Jacques Beineix’s Diva at the time of its release and the abundant critical commentary it has received since. It then goes on to propose a new reading of Diva that does not follow either the damning critiques of it as an empty and apolitical exercice de style or those that, taking their cue from Benjamin, see the film as a historically-situated commentary on a specific as…
Japanoise
David Novak’s Japanoise is the result of more than a decade of ethnographic research into the noise music scene in Japan and the United States. Even though, as Novak points out, it is now common to talk of music such as this as “Noise Music” or, simply, “Noise”, and while music that fits this description is produced in many different cultural contexts, his book takes its title from one of the neologisms given to particular forms of such extreme m…
The Larrikin as Hero (in French Studies)
In this article, we set out to contextualise and analyse the current situation of French Studies in Australia through a brief consideration of both the history of the Australian Journal of French Studies, the discipline itself in the Australian context, and the research context within which that discipline currently finds itself. We suggest that whilst the qualifier "Australian" in the title of AJFS is, in important respects, not at all important…
To Have Done With the Perspective of the (Biological) Body
In this paper, I examine the ways in which the relationship between spectator and screen has been figured in a body of recent scholarship on the cinema that both corporealises the cinematic event by focusing on the body of the spectator and the body of the film whilst, simultaneously, decorporealising it by seeing in the relation between spectator and screen the means to produce a new kind of properly cinematic thought, a new form of philosophy t…
A full face bright red money shot
Through an analysis of Merleau-Ponty's concept of ‘flesh’, I wish to suggest that this term offers a potential site for the reconsideration of the phenomenological situation of the film viewer. I will do this through an analysis of Marina de Van's film Dans ma peau (2002), a film which addresses the individual spectator directly in the intimacy of the viewing experience and, moreover, interrogates that individual relation of embodied viewer to fi…

Tekhnè, Technique, Technologie
we and our fellow convenors of the 2009 conference of the Australian Society for French Studies invited contributions from the field of French Studies, broadly defined, to the discussion of these notions of “tekhne”, “technique” and “technology”. As might be expected, given the core business of many of us working in French Studies, various papers were received on technology and language learning. For this special number of the Australian Journal …
Unfixing the photographic image
Normative conceptions of embodiment can operate only by fixing or essentialising the body’s necessarily processural (or existential) ontology. Given that traditional film-based photography and cinema are reliant on the arrestation of a process, a process of fixing analogous to that seen in the constitution of normative bodies, this paper suggests that it is not surprising that photography has long been considered a privileged realm for the presen…
Three Non-Places of Supermodernity in the History of French Cinema
The telescoping of time and shrinking of space are both effects of a modernist space that is made possible by the late Nineteenth Century’s new technologies such as the locomotive and the cinema. It is, then, no coincidence that the birth of cinema took place on the platform of a train station at La Ciotat in 1895, for since its inception, the cinema has been drawn to such spaces of modernity precisely because the transformation of human percepti…
A Tale of (At Least) Two Hiroshimas
Whilst my aim in this paper will, in part, be to revisit Alain Resnais’s Hiroshima mon amour (1959) nearly fifty years after its first release, I wish to do this through an examination of Nobuhiro Suwa’s H Story (2000) which is itself, as I will argue here, both a remake (or recreation) and a reappraisal of its filmic predecessor. Through an examination of the ways in which Suwa’s remake of Hiroshima mon amour intensifies latent characteristics o…
French Abstract
En associant le concept de la reproduction haute-fidélité aux histoires sur la représentation, nous suggérons que ce concept s’oppose largement aux croyances courantes entourant la nature de la représentation tout au long du XXe siècle. Par ailleurs, grâce à l’analyse de publicités portant sur des technologies de reproduction sonore à différents moments de l’histoire, nous avançons qu’un changement a lieu qui complique notre idéal de haute-fidéli…

Of Glitch and Men
Linking the concept of high-fidelity reproduction to histories of representation, we suggest that the former contradicts widely held beliefs about the nature of representation throughout the 20th century. Through analyses of advertisements for certain sound reproduction technologies at different points in history, however, we propose that a shift is taking place that complicates the high-fidelity ideal. This ideal is complicated further still in …

The Architect's Scalpel
This paper examines a selection of the photographic works of Alexa Wright, which demonstrate a fascination with the monstrous. While commenting on the works dealing with disabled bodies or bodies displaying a pathology of some kind—and in which the pathological or genetic condition is reconfigured in such a way that it can no longer be abjectified—this paper is particularly interested in Wright's works dealing with recontextualised images of inva…
