•SiegfriedKracauer,FromCaligaritoHitler:APsychologicalHistoryoftheGermanFilm,2004,PrincetonUniversityPress.Suggested:•PierreBourdieu,RulesofArt:GenesisandStructureoftheLiteraryField,StanfordUniversityPress,1996.
•PierreBourdieu, "But Who Created the Creators?" P. 142 in Sociology In Question. SAGE Publications (1993).
1 “First, the films are never individual products. [...] To the extent that each production unit of a film embodies a mixture of heterogeneous interests and inclinations, teamwork in this area tends to exclude the arbitrary handling of the film material by removing individual features for aspects common to many people" (Siegfried Kracauer - From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of the German Film,1947)
2"The subject who speaks here must recognize one thing: he likes to get out of a movie theater. He walks quietly (he does not like to talk about the film they have just seen), a little numb, encased, chilly, short sleepy; he’s sleepy, that's what he thinks; his body became something sporty, sweet, peaceful: soft like a sleeping cat, it feels somewhat disjointed [...]. In short, it comes out of hypnosis " (Roland Barthes - Communications n°23 - 1975).
3"In the egalitarian discomfort of the popular theatres, I had learned that this new art was to me, as to all" (Jean-Paul Sartre - Les Mots - 1964)
4We see, here again, how objective cinema and fiction films are opposed and bind. The image is strictly the reflect of the reality, its objectivity is in contradiction with the extravagance of what is imaginary. At the same time, this reflection is a "double". The image is already soaked by subjective powers that will move it, distort it, project it into fantasy and dream " (Edgar Morin - Le cinéma ou l'homme imaginaire - 1956).
