Logiques de la jetabilité: Dépossession et voix off dans le documentaire d'animation : Le voyage de M. Crulic.

My article examines the animated documentary, a hybrid genre that has its origins in the early twentieth century (The Sinking of the Lusitania, 1918, Winsor McCay) but has enjoyed tremendous growth in recent years. It has three main objectives. At first I intend to show that the aesthetics of animated documentary inter-media, which is located at the crossroads of visual arts, documentary, and animation film, is inherently performative and political. The second objective of this project is to recognize and theorize figures and expressions of dispossession and insecurity, as well as the articulation and function of the voiceover in the feature film The Travel of M. Crulic (2012), the work of Romanian director Anca Damian. The third objective is the political performativity of this film. Specifically, I propose to show that The Travel of M. Crulic is both an incriminating document and a performance of resistance and protest against the "logic disposable body" (assignment of disposability, Butler & Athanasiou, 2013) of neoliberal capitalism and against the arbitrary violence of contemporary wars.
