Discursive mapping of social issues in the French New Wave Cinematography

Tema ovog rada je prikaz društvenih problema u francuskoj kinematografiji Novog vala. Radi se o pokretu s kraja pedesetih i šezdesetih godina u kojemu nekolicina redatelja mijenja film na način da snimaju jeftine filmove nadahnute stvarnim društvenim problemima što je u suprotnosti s dotad objavljenim filmovima koji su uglavnom književna adaptacija. Rad se bavi načinom na koji su ti problemi prikazani u pet filmova odabranih zbog značaja koji su imali na razdoblje francuskog Novog vala. Filmovi su: Les Bonnes Femmes, La Chinoise, Masculin Féminin, Hiroshima mon amour i L'Enfant Sauvage. Rad koristi analizu diskurza kojom se nastoji utvrditi razlika između načina na koji su različiti redatelji prikazali društvene probleme i odgovara na pitanje jesu li ti problemi istoznačni današnjima. Istraživanje je pokazalo da je proširivanje, populariziranje i legitimiranje sociološkog pogleda na predmet istraživanja zajedničko svim autorima te da su društveni problemi zastupljeni u filmovima i dalje aktualni.The topic of this thesis is the portrayal of social issues in French New Wave cinematography. It is about the movement of the late 1950s and 1960s when a few film directors changed the film by shooting low budget films inspired by real social problems, which is completely different from the films, mostly the adaptations of literary works, made until then. The thesis deals with the way the problems were shown in five films selected because of the importance they had during the French New Wave. The films are as follows: Les Bonnes Femmes, La Chinoise, Masculin Féminin, Hiroshima mon amour and L'Enfant Sauvage. This thesis uses discourse analysis to determine the difference between the way different directors portrayed social problems and answers the question whether the problems are the same as today's or not. The research showed that the widening, popularizing and legitimating the sociological view on the topic of study is common to all the authors and that the social problems shown in the films are still present
