Featured Work
Les Titres de film
This book seeks to define the relations between French film titles and their co-texts and to weigh the importance of the values they shape and convey to the public. Drawing on Derrida’s analysis of Baudelaire’s poem “La Fausse monnaie”, it also considers the economic connotation of the term “titre”, as in “titre de monnaie”, and its application to the study of visual culture.
