Abstract (EN)

Since the existence of mankind, violence known as an element of fear, pain, punishment and also pathological source of pleasure at the same time. But, especially with the '90s, it became a ' normalized ' visual pleasure and visual demand. Violence, which has been the subject of research in disciplines such as sociology and psychology for many years, has enter into the art, as an inevitable social reflection, and turn out to be as a research subject in cinema under the analytic contributions of the same disciplines. In the first sight it may seem surprising to the violence became a demanding object on the silver screen after the Holocaust and cannibalism films, which have had great reactions from the 1930s to the 50s, banned and damned. But, there are two important points to note here; the first is that the mass we know as the 'modern world' and 'consumer society' has had a highly altered visual perception since that time and secondly, the way of to show the violence is a methodically different than it has been shown throughout history. The difference of the method expresses not only the 'old' random violence but also the 'specific violence' that the new system gives us. All of these elements lay the foundations of The New French extremism and make it into a researchable source with prominent directors such as François Ozon, Gaspar Noé and Claire Denis who known with neon lights, explosive colors, long tortures and sexual violence scenes (psychological and physical).
