- Paris is one of the world’s most iconic and frequently filmed cities and, as such, it has been central to formative academic debates relating to the cinematic city in particular, and French film studies in general. Paris in the Cinema: Beyond the Flâneur, the final outcome of an important research collaboration between Warwick, King’s College London and Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3, that includes a conference co-directed by Phillips and held in the French capital (2012), offers the first book-length survey on the representation of Paris on screen. As the co-editor of the book, the author of an original chapter on the idea of everyday Paris, and the co-author of an extended critical introduction to both the book and the field, Phillips’s contribution introduces, challenges and extends received ideas about the city as the locus of screen modernity. Bringing together a wide range of renowned French and Anglophone specialists in film, television, history, architecture and literature, and including a range of concrete and historically specific case studies, the book offers a new interdisciplinary approach to both the study of French audiovisual cultures and the city in cinema.
