TY - JOUR A1 - Richter, Verena T1 - Das Mittelmeer als pluraler Erinnerungsraum im französischen Essayfilm: zu Jean-Daniel Pollets Méditerranée (1963) JF - promptus - Würzburger Beiträge zur Romanistik N2 - The present article aims to examine images of the Mediterranean Sea in Jean-Daniel Pollet’s essay film Méditerranée (1963), with a particular focus on its representation as a multifaceted space of cultural memory. After some preliminary observations on the relation between the essay film as a genre and images of the Mediterranean, I shall, on the one hand, have a look at the semantic processes through which the film builds up a recognizable image of the Great Sea. On the other hand, however, I will argue that, at the same time, Méditerranée calls this signifying process into question by representing the sea as a space of cultural memory understood as a space of becoming and of deferral of meaning.
