The Bressonians
French Cinema and the Culture of Authorship
Morari, C.
With his meticulous approach to craft, formal innovations, and intensely personal style, Robert Bresson was in many ways the prototypical auteur. This strikingly original study of Bresson and his cinematic afterlives his influence in the work of French filmmakers such as Pialat, Eustache, and Rohmer—directors united by the “problem” of authorial style they inherited from Bresson.

The France of the Little-Middles
A Suburban Housing Development in Greater Paris

The France of the Little-Middles explores the strained reception of the migrants in The Poplars, a housing development in suburban Paris that dates back to the mid-20th centrury. The authors examine tensions within the complex less as a product of racism and xenophobia than of anxiety about social class and the loss of a sense of community that reigned before.

Nationalism and the Cinema in France
Political Mythologies and Film Events, 1945-1995
Frey, H.
What are the nuances, insider codes, and hidden history of the alignment between cinema and nationalism? Hugo Frey suggests that the concepts of the ‘political myth’ and ‘the film event’ are the essential theoretical reference points for unlocking film history.

General de Gaulle's Cold War
Challenging American Hegemony, 1963-68
Martin, G. J.
“While there is a lot of information for readers to take in, the subject is inherently complex, spanning different aspects of French foreign policy and the politics of other countries and institutions. In spite of this complexity, Martin displays a good grasp of the material. The book is the product of archival research in England, France, and the United States, as well as engagement with published collections and the relevant secondary literature on the topic. Martin has thus covered most of his bases.” · H-France Review
“[The book] is extremely well researched, well written, and Martin accomplishes his stated objective: namely, to provide a more balanced account of de Gaulle that goes beyond views of him as either a visionary, or an irresponsible and anti-American nationalist…Martin’s analysis makes a unique contribution in that it examines the linkages between the General's economic, political and security policy in order to understand how the three came together to shape his overall policy toward the US.” · Erin Mahan, Chief Historian, Office of the Secretary of Defense

Alsace to the Alsatians?
Visions and Divisions of Alsatian Regionalism, 1870-1939
Fischer, C. J.
The region of Alsace, located between the hereditary enemies of France and Germany, served as a trophy of war four times between 1870–1945. With each shift, French and German officials sought to win the allegiance of the local populace. In response to these pressures, Alsatians invoked regionalism—articulated as a political language, a cultural vision, and a community of identity—not only to define and defend their own interests against the nationalist claims of France and Germany, but also to push for social change, defend religious rights, and promote the status of the region within the larger national community.
