ABSTRACT
This final chapter of On the History of a Film Aesthetic Concept: Découpage tells of the renaissance of the concept of découpage. After introducing how Noël Burch developed the concept in his Praxis du cinéma, the chapter shows how it was rediscovered and re-evaluated in the years after 2000. The writings of Timothy Barnard, Jean-Pierre Sirois-Trahan, and Hervé Joubert-Laurencin, for example, indicate a veritable paradigm shift. The chapter concludes with reflections on the productivity of the concept for contemporary cinema and media studies.
