Abstract

In this article, we aim to provide an analysis of the articles and interviews that Michel Foucault gave about cinema starting from the 1970s. Essentially, in his comments on films by directors such as Pier Paolo Pasolini, Marguerite Duras, René Allio, Liliana Cavani, Werner Schroeter, or Louis Malle, among others, the theorist expresses a way of understanding cinema based on its ability to depict bodies in a novel and disruptive manner. We will seek to demonstrate how this conception of cinema is related to the understanding of politics through the notions of resistance and politics of freedom.

Keywords: Foucault | cinema | body | memory | resistance

This article is, for the time being, only available in Spanish: Una multiplicación, un brote del cuerpo
