초록
The idealised embodiments of national identity have been represented byfilm stars throughout the history of cinema. However, stars are increasinglybecoming the site of cross-cultural contestations in the globalised andtransnational film industry. Since the 1990s, French cinema has witnessed anunprecedented surge of actors of Maghrebi origin, offering a challenge to thetraditional modes of representation. This article explores the phenomenon ofFranco-Maghrebi stardom, with a view to establishing Sami Bouajila as a newtype of transnational star. Embodying positive images of integration, he hasevolved from a proto-son searching for a father(land) in French society,towards a more mature stardom incorporating at once Arabic heritage and French identity. To articulate these aspects of his stardom, this article will particularly focus on the case study of Drôle de Félix, a Bouajila vehicle tha topens up a greater readiness to accept a hybrid identity with ties to bothFrance and North Africa in a contemporary context.
Abstract
The idealised embodiments of national identity have been represented byfilm stars throughout the history of cinema. However, stars are increasinglybecoming the site of cross-cultural contestations in the globalised andtransnational film industry. Since the 1990s, French cinema has witnessed anunprecedented surge of actors of Maghrebi origin, offering a challenge to thetraditional modes of representation. This article explores the phenomenon ofFranco-Maghrebi stardom, with a view to establishing Sami Bouajila as a newtype of transnational star. Embodying positive images of integration, he hasevolved from a proto-son searching for a father(land) in French society,towards a more mature stardom incorporating at once Arabic heritage and French identity. To articulate these aspects of his stardom, this article will particularly focus on the case study of Drôle de Félix, a Bouajila vehicle that opens up a greater readiness to accept a hybrid identity with ties to bothFrance and North Africa in a contemporary context.
