The Power of Conformity: Music, Sound, and Vision in Back to the Future by Marc Priewe

“…I argue that the film employs music strategically in order to convey a nostalgic view of American culture and society in the 1950s by including certain songs and excluding others, as well as by a score that is deeply rooted in the traditions of Hollywood film music.

Quand écrire sur les murs passe de la clandestinité au marché de l’art : Exit Through the Gift Shop, un vertige de vrai et de faux pour une histoire du street art by Marie Bouchet

“…It was made by the world-famous, though mysterious, street artist Banksy and, as its title indicates, it is characterized by a reflection on the transformation of street art, an illegal, nocturnal art form that made its way into museums and the private collections of Hollywood stars in the late 2000s.

Daughters of the Dust (Julie Dash, 1991), le récit d’esclave revisité by Delphine Letort

“…Whilst allowing women to address their most intimate dilemmas (rape, skin colour, pregnancy, sexuality, gender roles), the director tries to undermine Hollywood stereotypes of black women. Not only does she look back into the past as a source of inspiration and creation, but she also generates a longing for an idealized tribal life that never was but in the imaginary construct of afrocentrist theorists.…”
