Des Mille et Une Nuits à Lascaux : sur les traces d’une dynamique de récit by Nina Kennel

“…Referring to Carlo Ginzburg’s definition of “clues”, and particularly their relation to the emerging story, this thesis reveals a loop in the clue-investigation-story sequence within the architecture of the film which seems to contain, on a miniature scale, an extension of the evidence-seeking experience for the viewer.By then following contradictions which appear in George Bataille’s take on Lascaux (and as it is depicted by Daniel Fabre in his book Bataille à Lascaux), the present work aims to suggest the possibility of pursuing an experience of the cave using the residual clues left over by Bataille himself.…”
