Abstract
This study aims to investigate the representation of sexuality in Jean-Luc
Godard’s early movies in order to understand the figuration of femininity as
well as masculinity in cinema politically. Being in a specific historical context,
New Wave cinema is important due to its crucial cinematographic
experiments and revolutionary style. This semi-cinematographic analysis of
Jean-Luc Godard’s cinema is completed in order to be able to understand the
inner mechanisms of cinema from a sociological point of view.
