Les enjeux sémiotiques de la perception dans L’Étranger d’Albert Camus

Considered as a romantic incarnation of author’s ideas, L’Etranger put us in front of the absurd through the problematic character of Meursault, often studied and commented as subject of this philosophical attitude. The absurd presupposes a relationship between man and the world and is thus inevitably linked to perception: a sensory experience then founds the discourse of the novel, establishing Meursault as percipient/enunciator subject. We will use the resources offered by semiotics of discourse in its phenomenological version for analyzing the perceptual path of Meursault and especially to consider the question of Camus’s absurd under a new light

Transcripción cinematográfica de la mirada erótica del fotógrafo Bellocq en Pretty Baby de Louis Malle

[en] In the first years of the twentieth century Ernest James Bellocq used his camera to capture the image of New Orleans’prosti¬tutes. Years later, in 1978, Louis Malle would be taking the life of this mysterious photographer to the screen in the controversial film Pretty Babe. Delving deeper into the work of these authors, we raise three questions. The first, will be to study the correspondence between the figure of Bellocq and that which Malle recreates. A second approach, will focus on the cinematic representation of them, in which the girls are portrayed in a brothel in Storyville. Finally, we will discuss the photographic act in its entirety and determine the transcription that the filmmaker builds, more definitively how Bellocq’s erotic vision and that of Louis Malle merge in the footage of the director. [fr] Au début du XXe siècle Ernest James Bellocq a photographié avec son appareil photo l’image des prostituées de la Nouvelle-Orléans. Des années plus tard, Louis Malle a donné vie à ce mystérieux photographe sur l’écran dans le contreversé film La petite (Pretty Baby, 1978). Trois questions se posent en faisant un étude précis des oeuvres de ces auteurs. L’une d’elles se centre sur le parallélisme entre le personnage de Bellocq et celui que Malle a recrée dans son film. Une deuxième question est en rapport avec la représentation cinématographique des filles photographiées dans le bordel de Storyville. Et finalement, on va aborder l’acte photographique pour déterminer la transcription construite par le cinéaste.
