Lingua Franca (1598 words)
Leo Bersani, a professor of French at the same institution, is a Proust scholar who has in recent years turned his attention to homoerotic and queer themes.
Bersani and Dutoit have a different account: "A certain awkwardness of–or indifference to–techniques of foregrounding and distancing is only one sign of...a profound uncertainty about relational priorities." I gather that a political ideal is meant–no one is more important than anyone else, so no one is by right the focus of a painting.
Bersani and Dutoit are not unfamiliar with this ambiguity.
"Forms of Being: Cinema, Aesthetics, Subjectivity" by Leo Bersani and Ulysse Dutoit (4384 words)
For Bersani and Dutoit, however, Paul’s insistent demand for revelation of the causes of Camille’s contempt is portrayed by Godard as merely the inverse of the demand for recognition that characterises passionate bonding from the very beginning.
Bersani and Dutoit begin their approach towards Malick’s third film by revisiting Freud and Lacan on the universally necessary negativity of “jouissance” (in Lacan’s terms): the unsurpassable core of aggression and “blind destructive fury” that at once founds subjectivity and promises the greatest sense of release from the burdens of selfhood.
Bersani and Dutoit seem to assume that most films may still be dismissed as simple vehicles for mechanically reproduced ideologies, if only in order to register and measure the singularity of the films they have chosen to study.
