Behind The Cameras: Cinematic Decoupage As Discursive Registration

Abstract

Under the theoretical framework of the French Discourse Analysis, inaugurated by Michel Pêcheux, we will seek in this article a discussion about the role of the moving image - the cinema – in the creation of meaning in speech. A motion picture film moves senses through various forms, sometimes verbal, sometimes nonverbal; and in this article we aim to target what is said in the form of image sequences, i.e. to observe the very constitutional structure of filmmaking as a tool of discursive inscription.
