課程簡介	The concept of montage is consubstantial with cinema. But this principle is not limited to this medium. We notice that modernity is principally based on fragmented and cumulative systems. During the 20th century, visual arts, music, literature, and media have been the interpreters of the aesthetics of fragment. avant-garde collages, installations, as well as television and multimedia supports, focus on a heterogeneous dynamic of assembling and disassembling. There is a need to understand the heterogeneity of materials and realities, which are proposed to the audience by these different mediums. The course aims to analyze how the principles of montage occur in the modern way of thinking and creating. It also intends to look back to the origins of these methods, notably in the construction of hybrid realities (such as chimeras, monsters, and grotesques). The organic features of these realisations, which appear in medieval marginalia, in Renaissance decorations, or much more recently in animation movie, need also to be mentioned. I. The first part of the course is broadly based on the methods of assembling, which are used during the first decades of the twentieth century. Besides the poetics of fragment inaugurated by Manet and the Impressionists, there is as well a need to look at the examples developed by the avant-garde (cubism, dada, surrealism). Collages, photomontages, games of consequences etc. illustrate additive methods. In order to understand these principles in a wider context, we will also confront the Dadaist and surrealist collages with the first theories and applications of montage (editing) in film, which appeared at the same time. Furthermore it will be fruitful to draw parallels between these examples and the Mnemosyne Atlas, which Aby Warburg was working on during the years 1929-1934. This new methodological way of thinking through images assembled on panels constitutes a promising model of thinking which needs to be recontextualized. II. In its intrinsic heterogeneity the concept of montage often produces hybrid constructions, not to say “monsters”. The second part of the course focuses on the teratogenic power of creation. It observes how the constructions of monsters and chimeras - which often are assemblies of different realities - have influenced the western imaginary since Antiquity. This fascination with monsters has something to do with the demonstrativeness of images (in latinmonstrum has the same root as monstrare= to show). It is not a coincidence that cinema - as the demonstrative media par excellence - acts as a substitute for these old representations since the 1930s. It will be shown, that the development of monsters movies (e.g. James Whale’s Frankenstein, 1931, Merian C. Cooper / Ernest B. Schoedsack’sKing Kong) is also intimately related with the evolution of the filmic montage.
