Abstract

"The Belgian photonovel is the missing link in the amazing history of the photonovel, a comics-inspired form of visual narrative that combines elements from very different genres and media, ranging from literary melodrama, cinema, and of course comics. This monograph discloses the specific Belgian contribution to the genre, in close connection with the singularities of the Belgian women's and general magazines where these photonovels appeared. If the photonovel is generally considered a typically French or Italian genre, this study demonstrates the importance of a different tradition, which appropriated the foreign models in a very original way. Belgian photonovels are distinct, not only because they tell other kinds of stories, but also because they interact with other types of magazines in ways that are very different from the mainstream forms of the genre in Italy and France. Finally, this lavishly illustrated study is also the first in scrutinizing the technical aspects of magazine printing techniques in the development of the photonovel."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Discarded by archivists and disregarded by scholars despite its cultural impact on post-World War II Europe, the film photonovel represents a unique crossroads. This hybrid medium presented popular films in a magazine format that joined film stills or set pictures with captions and dialogue balloons to re-create a cinematic story, producing a tremendously popular blend of cinema and text that supported more than two dozen weekly or monthly publications. Illuminating a long-overlooked 'lowbrow' medium with a significant social impact, The Film Photonovel studies the history of the format as a hybrid of film novelizations, drawn novels, and nonfilm photonovels. While the field of adaptation studies has tended to focus on literary adaptations, this book explores how the juxtaposition of words and pictures functioned in this format and how page layout and photo cropping could affect reading. Finally, the book follows the film photonovel's brief history in Latin America and the United States. Adding an important dimension to the interactions between filmmakers and their audiences, this work fills a gap in the study of transnational movie culture.

Abstract

De tous les genres littéraires, le roman-photo est à la fois le plus méprisé et le moins connu. Pour le roman-photo a l'ambition de révéler toute la richesse de ce genre hybride, dont l'importance est capitale à une époque où se rapprochent littérature et photographie. Abordant aussi bien les stéréotypes du roman-photo sentimental que les inventions du roman-photo moderne, notamment sur Internet, le livre nous donne d'abord un aperçu très richement illustré de l'histoire du genre, que l'auteur compare à ses faux frères, la bande dessinée et le ciné-roman. Il examine aussi la manière dont texte et image peuvent s'allier pour inventer des récits entièrement inédits. Il propose enfin des analyses des grands auteurs du "nouveau roman-photo" (Marie-Françoise Plissart, Michael Snow, Sophie Calle ou Suky Best). Prenant le contrepied de tout ce qu'on écrit depuis cinquante ans, cet essai nous invite à lire, d'urgence, des romans-photos. Paru une première fois en 2010 aux Impressions Nouvelles, nous vous en proposons, à l'occasion de la grande exposition "Roman-Photo" présentée au Mucem (cf. description sur le site du musée : www.mucem.org), une réédition augmentée et richement illustrée.
