Thomas J. Kline's Intertextuality in New Wave French Cinema assesses the French New Wave's stance of rejection of the literary arts, championing innovation through new experimental methods as a more complicated relationship than meets the eye. Kline asserts that though the directors of the New Wave dismissed literary influence on the film arts, in practice their oeuvre was intrinsically intertwined with literature, both classic and contemporary. Kline's Intertextuality is a resource for those wishing to explore the relationship between literature and film.

Marion Schmid's Intermedial Dialogues is the first comprehensive study of the French New Wave's relationship with the older arts. Schmid analyzes and contextualizes the movement alongside the fields of literature, theatre, painting, architecture, and photography drawing on the theory of Intermediality to unpack the influences and interactions of the film movement and the "older arts." Intermedial Dialogues is an excellent resource for those wishing to study the relationship between film, art, and cultural movements.
Geneviève Sellier, Translated by Kristin Ross. 2008, Duke University Press.
PN 1993.5 F7 S3713 2008
APA Citation: Sellier, Geneviève. Masculine Singular. (2008). Translated by Kristin Ross. Duke University Press. https://search.library.albany.edu/permalink/01SUNY_ALB/qlq07b/alma990014172660204808
Masculine Singular is an original interpretation of French New Wave cinema by one of France’s leading film scholars, Geneviève Sellier. Sellier deconstructs the mainly ‘male first-person singular’ viewpoint of the movement, arguing that gender relations and the construction of sexual identities were the primary subject of Nouvelle Vague film. Masculine Singular provides a unique perspective on a traditionally male-dominated topic through integration of sociology, history and critical feminist theory.
