What lies behind what we barely dare to look at?
Regards (im)pudiques explores the interplay of (im)modesty in film, literature and the arts, questioning the dynamics of the visible and the invisible, social prohibitions and transgressive desires from a variety of perspectives. More specifically, the volume explores the dynamics of the gazes that (im)modesty engenders, whether obscene, evocative, suggestive or seductive, and their impact on the spectator public.
This work will particularly appeal to researchers in the humanities and social sciences and in literature, to students, and to anyone sensitive to issues in which art, cinematic creation and literature are intertwined, through the lens of the imaginary of the forbidden, and the encounter between modesty and immodesty.
