Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Institut du Monde Anglophone

Wednesday, May 4, 2016 - 5 to 7 pm


"Reel Injuns and Real Indians: Trends in Native American Cinema"

Dr. Jennifer Gauthier, Associate Professor of Communication Studies, 
Randolph College (Lynchburg, VA, USA)


Since the birth of cinema, filmmakers have been fascinated with 
“Injuns.” From The Searchers to Dances with Wolves, Hollywood has 
presented stereotyped images of Native peoples on the big screen. 
Beginning in the late 1990s Native American filmmakers began to take the 
camera into their own hands to challenge Hollywood’s representations. 
This conference will examine how Native America cinema constructs its 
own aesthetic, reversing the gaze and revising the cinematic image of 
Native peoples in America.


Dr. Gauthier teaches courses in media studies and rhetoric at Randolph 
College in Virginia. Her work on Aboriginal cinema in the US, Canada, 
Australia and New Zealand has been published in a variety of scholarly 
journals. In the fall of 2011 she served as Fulbright Visiting Research 
Chair in North American Society and Culture at Concordia University in 
Montreal, Quebec. She is currently working on a manuscript about 
Aboriginal women filmmakers in Canada.
