Abstract
This article analyzes the auteur theory forged by the French Nouvelle Vague; it examines whether this theory and movement can be described as "masculinist." It shows that the "author" is not a promotion of the masculine, but a contestable figure of the master based on an ideal of the self. It examines how the figure of "genius" proposed by Kant can replace that of the author and analyzes how Nouvelle Vague films challenge not only male power but also the claim to be the "author" of one’s own existence. These films stage the object-gaze and thus destroy the ideal of mastery.
