From rival lingua francas such as English to socio-politically marginalised languages such as Arabic or Kurdish, multilingual characters in these films exploit their knowledge of multiple languages, and offer counter-perspectives to dominant ideologies of the role of linguistic diversity in society. Decentring France is the first substantial study of multilingual film in France. Unpacking the power dynamics at play in the dialogue of eight emblematic films, this book argues that many contemporary French films take a new approach to language and power, showing how even the most historically-maligned languages can empower their speakers. This book offers a unique insight to academics and students alike, into the place of language and power in French cinema today. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z France. 650 0 $a Motion pictures and language $z France. 650 0 $a Language and languages in motion pictures. 650 7 $a Language and languages in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992278 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a Motion pictures and language. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027409 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 650 7 $a Film $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4017102-4 650 7 $a Mehrsprachigkeit $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4038403-2 650 7 $a Multikulturelle Gesellschaft $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4619007-7 651 7 $a Frankreich $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4018145-5 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018021502.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=700B3A30580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
