La guerre encadrée

Hélène Puiseux, The Framed War The Gulf War was filmed as an American epic with large framed images of reassuring events historicized in such a way as to give them a particular sense as they were happening. In contrast, filmed coverage of ex-Yugoslavia does not succeed in lending coherence to narrow and fragmented framing. In spite of some attempts at historicization, televised images have produced neither sense nor perspective. This war is presented as confusion, the disintegration of time, the tenaciousness of life and the violence of death.Puiseux Hélène. La guerre encadrée. In: L'Homme et la société, N. 107-108, 1993.
