New Wave Godard, Sound Practice and Conceptions of Noise by Alyssa Beaton PDF Summary

Book Description: The work of Modernist iconoclast Jean-Luc Godard is endlessly examined by scholars but rarely from a sound-centred perspective. However, the last thirty years has seen the growth of sound-centered research in cinema and media studies, challenging the authority of the visual in what is overwhelmingly an audio-visual medium. This thesis evaluates a selection of films within Godard’s New Wave corpus, spanning the years 1959-1967, to demonstrate that Godard’s treatment of sound challenges the spectator's understanding of film sound conventions in what becomes, over time, an explicitly political project. Understood chronologically, Godard’s work during this period is representative of a distinct transition from a place respecting conventional sound practices (including those favoured within nonfiction) to one reflecting a more analytical, politically inflected, anti-modernist position. This thesis highlights the ways in which Godard makes audible the materiality of the production process by way of unconventional editing tech- niques and the use of disparate recording styles. The result of these innovative approaches is an opening up of the cinematic soundscape to the sonic environments of Others and ‘othered sounds’ — sounds generally relegated to the background in a conventional film soundtrack, categorized as disruptions and noise (or suppressed altogether) yet revelatory in terms of their power to give voice to the socio-cultural and political contexts of Godard’s work.
