Jean-Luc Godard in Sixties: A Sociological reading of sexuality and politics in the New Wave cinema

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.
