DESCRIPTION:For the second seminar of Lent Term\, the Cambridge Screen Med
 ia Group is delighted to welcome (back) Prof. Keith Reader\, who will be d
 iscussing the place of cultural topography in film.\n\nProf. Reader works 
 on various aspects of twentieth-century French culture. He has published a
  monograph on Robert Bresson and one on Jean Renoir's La Règle du jeu. He
  recently finished an article on Resnais's L'année dernière à Marienbad
  as sado-masochistic text - an approach that incorporates his interest in 
 critical theory and gender studies. The latter approach largely underpins 
 his monograph\, coauthored with Rachel Edwards\, on The Papin Sisters\, an
 d even more markedly his study of male (self-)abjection The Abject Object.
 \n\nHis current project builds on a developing interest in the area of cul
 tural topography\, by way of a cultural history of the Bastille/Faubourg S
 aint-Antoine area of Paris. The range of texts here extends from canonical
  literature (Hugo's Les Miserables) and theory (Benjamin's Paris: capitale
  du XIXe siecle)\, through the detective novel (Leo Malet)\, film (Klapisc
 h's Chacun cherche son chat\, Pialat's Police) and less-explored areas sti
 ll such as chanson and bande dessinée. \n\nThe session starts at 5 for 5.
 15 and will be followed by a Q&A.\n\nAll welcome\, no registration require
 d.\n\nThis talk is organised by the Cambridge Screen Media Group at CRASSH
 .
