Des représentations de l’obscénité: Désir de l’interdit et transgression intermédiale, à partir de l’adaptation cinématographique de 'Ma Mère' de Georges Bataille

In our approach, we will attempt to demonstrate that Bataille’s fictional universe is immanent to an intimate dimension of being in the same way as eroticism, which is based on the dialectic of the prohibition and transgression, whereas its cinematic adaptation tends to distort them through a visual representation of sexuality rooted in explicit, debauchery and incestuous relationships. The transition from one medium, one form of expression and one system of signs to another is not without compromise, especially as the spectator becomes witness to a semantic shift, an alteration of meaning produced at the intersection of media frontiers.
