ABSTRACT This article surveys developments in the French romantic comedy of the 2010s from a cultural studies perspective. Specifically, it considers how the particularities identifiable in the French genre following its emergence in the 1990s and consolidation by the end of the 2000s have evolved during the next decade. It argues that the most striking new trend comprises a more domestically circumscribed orbit for the genre, with notably fewer export successes, paralleled by the increased prominence of nationalistically inflected and/or otherwise broadly retreatist themes, notably in relation to 'globalizing’ conformist (neo-liberal) values. These traits manifest themselves through elements such as explicit celebrations of French culture, especially that of the northern French provinces that are the historical heartland of the right; obsessive representations and validations of heterosexual family structures, including through homophobic elements; a marked accentuation of bromance and other misogynistic elements in the genre; and a parodic if not mocking attitude towards generic and cultural values coded as North American – albeit one typically embedded in layers of ‘self-reflexive’ postmodern irony. I argue that this last tendency, constituting one of the complexities of the hybrid French genre à l’américaine, is useful for interrogating the very concept of radical ideology – and its antithesis, conformity – for their different meanings in diverse geo-cultural contexts.

“金钱买不到我的爱”:2010年代法国浪漫喜剧中激进的右翼民粹主义

摘要本文从文化研究的角度考察了2010年代法国浪漫喜剧的发展。具体来说,它考虑了在1990年代出现和在2000年代末合并之后,法国体裁中可识别的特殊性在接下来的十年中如何演变。它认为,最引人注目的新趋势包括该类型在国内受到更多限制,其出口成功率显着下降,与此同时,民族主义影响和/或以其他方式广泛撤退的主题也越来越突出,特别是与“全球化”的顺从性(新-liberal)值。这些特征通过诸如明确庆祝法国文化,特别是作为权利的历史腹地的法国北部各省的庆祝活动来体现出来。强迫性表示和验证异性恋家庭结构,包括通过同性恋元素;风格上的恋爱和其他厌恶女性的元素明显突出;以及对被编码为北美的通用和文化价值的嘲弄态度,即使不是嘲笑的态度,尽管这种态度通常嵌入在“自我反省”的后现代讽刺中。我认为,这种最后的趋势构成了法国混合体àl'américaine的复杂性之一,对于审视激进意识形态的概念(及其对立面,一致性),因为它们在不同的地理文化背景下具有不同的含义,这很有用。以及对被编码为北美的通用和文化价值的嘲弄态度,即使不是嘲笑的态度,尽管这种态度通常嵌入在“自我反省”的后现代讽刺中。我认为,这种最后的趋势构成了法国混合体àl'américaine的复杂性之一,对于审视激进意识形态的概念(及其对立面,一致性),因为它们在不同的地理文化背景下具有不同的含义,这很有用。以及对被编码为北美的通用和文化价值的嘲弄态度,即使不是嘲笑的态度,尽管这种态度通常嵌入在“自我反省”的后现代讽刺中。我认为,这种最后的趋势构成了法国混合体àl'américaine的复杂性之一,对于审视激进意识形态的概念(及其对立面,一致性),因为它们在不同的地理文化背景下具有不同的含义,这很有用。
