House Trilogy (1978‒2005): Staging Co-existence and its Failures: an Intermedial Approach

C’est avec plaisir que je partage sur Cinémadoc, l’annonce de la publication d’un article sur le cinéma d’Amos Gitai que j’ai écrit avec Claudia Polledri pour la revue de littérature comparée de Stanford, Dibur. Cet article s’intègre à un numéro consacré au thème House/Home. Ce numéro fait suite au colloque ba’it: A Conference on House and Home Marking. 42 years since the beginning of Amos Gitai’s House trilogy (5 et 6 mai 2022). L’article est consultable en accès libre sur le site de Dibur. Je ne reproduis donc ci-dessous que les premières lignes du texte. 

House Trilogy (1978‒2005): Staging Co-existence and its Failures: an Intermedial Approach

Over a period of twenty-seven years (1978–2005), Amos Gitai directed a trilogy dealing with the cultural, political, and social consequences of the renovation and redesign of the same house located in Jerusalem. We consider intermediality an interesting way of looking at this corpus of nonfiction films. This way of thinking offers a framework to help us come to terms with the conditions of the possibility of living a shared experience. The purpose of this paper is to explore this trilogy as an intermedial milieu. We seek to understand: What sets this milieu in motion? What mediations are staged by Gitai in these three films? The study of the trilogy itself and of the “blockages” that we see taking shape in it led us to use another expression than “living together” that could render conceptually the limits and frictions staged in the films. The term “co-existence” seems to us to be more appropriate to account for the aspects evoked by Gitai in the Bait trilogy. (lire la suite sur le site de Dibur ou en PDF).
