Summary
Broaching the notion of the ‘frame’ from a variety of analytic perspectives, and employing a range of approaches, this collection of articles engages with contemporary debates on text and image relations, literary reception and translation, narratology and cinematographic technique.
The various contributions to this collection provide new readings in their respective fields, and share a common concern with exploring the productive and problematic notion of the ‘frame’ and of ‘framing’ in a wide variety of cultural media in French Studies. This interdisciplinary analysis of literary and theoretical texts, visual art and film allows for fruitful connections to be made at the level of analysis of themes and of methodology. It thus provides material that is of interest both to specialists in these fields, and also to those seeking a more general introduction to each area.
This collection of articles is selected from the proceedings of the ‘Framed! in French Studies’ workshop, held at the Institut Français in London in February 2006.
