Film Studies For Free was delighted to discover that Douglas Morrey's wonderful PhD thesis on the work of Jean-Luc Godard was now openly accessible online. Then, ecstatic, it found two more, highly worthwhile pieces of graduate research work on that filmmaker. The direct links are given below for your own delectation, delight, and film-educational betterment....
- Gary Elshaw, 'The Depiction of late 1960's Counter Culture in the 1968 Films of Jean-Luc Godard', MA e-thesis, Victoria University of Wellington, November 2000
- Douglas Morrey, Jean-Luc Godard and the other history of cinema. PhD e-thesis, University of Warwick, 2002
- Thibaut Schilt, 'Marginal Pleasure and Auteurist Cinema: the Sexual Politics of Robert Bresson, Jean-Luc Godard, Catherine Breillat and François Ozon', PhD e-thesis, Ohio State University 2005
Wow, thank you so much for these links. I'm always on the lookout for more reading about Godard, and now I practically have several more books to digest -- and books about topics of particular interest to me, especially the discussion of Godard's countercultural cinema and his Histoire(s) du cinema, both aspects of his career too often given short shrift in popular coverage of him. There definitely needs to be more serious consideration of Godard's most radical period, from 1968 through the end of the 70s.
