Summary, Etc.  

요약This dissertation enters into an ongoing dialogue with existing scholarship on representations of female protagonists' sensory and embodied experiences in French and Francophone North African cinema. It examines the dynamic cinematographic styles of eight films from seven contemporary Maghrebi(-French) filmmakers: Abdellatif Kechiche, Raja Amari, Yamina Bachir-Chouikh, Mounia Meddour, Leila Kilani, Houda Benyamina, and Hafsia Herzi. I demonstrate that these directors use dynamic styles of cinematography and editing that encourage the development of a multisensory connection with the viewer and the on-screen protagonist. Further, I argue that this multi-sensory connection has the potential to disrupt the underlying uneven power dynamic between the film viewer and the Maghrebi woman's body. This dissertation places labor practices as the center of exploration and analysis, as these examples of quotidian life represent a microcosm of protagonists' participation in larger social and economic frameworks.First, Chapter One looks at the role of embodied labor in strengthening a protagonist's connection to her community through dance and cooking in Kechiche's The Secret of the Grain (2007) and Raja Amari's Red Satin (2002). Second, Chapter Two examines the way that the protagonist uses her work and artistic endeavors-teaching, fashion design, and choreography- to work through traumatic experiences and form healing bonds with other women in Bachir Chouikh's Rachida (2002) and Meddour's Papicha (2019) and Houria (2022). Finally, Chapter Three examines labor practices that isolate and disconnect the protagonist from her community and her body in Kilani's On the Edge (2011), Benyamina's Divines (2016), and Herzi's Good Mother (2021). This dissertation concludes that this multisensory style of filmmaking centers women's corporeal, lived experiences in different ways while challenging the viewer not to merely watch passively, but to engage in a dynamic, empathetic relationship with the protagonist on-screen.
