2023, ReFocus: The Films of Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Gönül Dönmez-Colin (ed.)
Auteur theory and the very concept of the auteur have long lost their per- tinence in the academia. Film studies scholarship today focuses more on reception and spectatorship and tends to conceive of films, whether labelled as artworks or popular cultural products, more as the products of social and political context than the individual ‘craftsmanship’ of the directors/producers. Nevertheless, auteurs, as well as the term itself, seem to endure paradigmatic theoretical shifts. Having accomplished becoming simultaneously a transna- tional filmmaker and a part of the national film canon, despite the different and sometimes conflicting requirements of each role, Nuri Bilge Ceylan personifies what auteur – or global auteur – means today. To understand how Ceylan has secured his position in the complex and precarious map of competing value systems, we need to explore contemporary auteurism and the tensions between different modes of artistic recognition in global and national contexts.

Once heralded and defined by the likes of François Truffaut and Andrew Sarris as a romantic figure of aesthetic individualism, the auteur is reinvestigated here through a novel approach. Bringing established as well as emergent figures of world art cinema to the fore, The Global Auteur shows how politics and philosophy are present in the works of these important filmmakers. They can be still seen leading a fight that their glorious predecessors seemed to have abandoned in the face of global capitalism and the market economy. Yet, as the contributors show, a new world calls for a new cinema, and thus for new auteurs. Covering a range of global auteurs such as Lars von Trier, Lav Diaz, Lee Chang-dong and Abderrahmane Sissako, The Global Auteur provides a much-needed reassessment of the film auteur for the global age. “As we plunge into the second century of cinema, this terrific collection of essays reckons with not only the persistence of auteurism but its resurgence in the context of global cinema. Framed by the editors' superb introduction, The Global Auteur features a brilliant roster of scholars whose essays, ranging across an admirably broad range of filmmakers, finally helps us to understand the work of art cinema in our era of digital reproduction.” – Gregory Flaxman, Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature and the Director of Global Cinema Studies, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA “Once a dramatic new critical perspective and later declared a moribund leftover of romanticism, auteurs and auteurism today have become-as this outstanding and wide-ranging collection reminds us-more vibrant and complex than ever before.” – Timothy Corrigan, Professor of Cinema Studies, English, and History of Art, University of Pennsylvania, USA “This ambitious collection fills a glaring gap in studies of cinematic authorship in the twentieth-first century. It was about time for the creative contribution of the film director to be reassessed from a global perspective, away from hierarchical canons and in light of the radical changes entailed to film production by the widespread use of the digital technology. In the age of social media, where the individual merges into the general and anyone can 'author' a film, the role of the battered but resilient auteur may be, as the editors rightly say, more crucial and relevant than ever.” – Lúcia Nagib, Professor in Film, University of Reading, UK Introduction (Seung-hoon Jeong, New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE, and Jeremi Szaniawski, Korea National University of the Arts, Republic of Korea) Chapter 1 The Global Author: Control, Creative Constraints and Performative Self Contradiction (Thomas Elsaesser, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) Chapter 2 Abderrahmane Sissako: On the Politics of African Auteurs (Rachel Gabara, University of Georgia, USA) Chapter 3 Godard's Stereoscopic Essay: Thinking in and with Adieu au langage (Rick Warner, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA) Chapter 4 Michael Winterbottom: A Self-Effacing Auteur?

The present thesis consists of an investigation concerning auteurism, as a critical practice, scrutinizing two Coen Brothers' films, The Big Lebowski (1998) and No Country for Old Men (2007), as objects of study. Auteurism is reviewed over the years, from the period prior to Cahiers du Cinéma to its takeover and undertaking during the 1950s in France; auteur criticism is also analyzed in the U.S. and in the U.K. An overview and focused features are rendered by critics and theoreticians who formulated, defended, and attacked this critical approach, it also questions what an auteur is. The following chapters aim at analyzing the two films abovementioned by the Coens, its characters and shot analyses, using auteurist perspectives allied to other theoretical standpoints, such as poststructuralism and intertextuality; therefore, the notions of "work," "text," and "author" are studied under the essays by Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault and Julia Kristeva. Moreover, adaptation is also tackled, acknowledged as both a process and a product, by Linda Hutcheon.
