Journal Article
Women on the Move: The Politics of Walking in Agnès Varda
2012
Overview
This article focuses on images of walking in Agnès Varda's films -
Cléo de 5 à 7
(1962),
Sans toit ni loi
(1985), and
Les Plages
d'
Agnès
(2008). The activity of walking (as urban flânerie, circular travelling or walking backwards) is central to these films, and can be seen as a corporeal practice that not only interweaves striated and smooth spaces but also offer a gender-sensitive, political contemplation on the forces of striation and smoothing as well as a re-invention of space. The women in movement in Varda's films embody a transgression of stratified territories such as the image-oriented society of the spectacle in
Cléo
, myths of adolescence and settled living in
Sans toit ni loi
, or the boundaries of aging in
Les Plages d'Agnès
.
