This article proposes an examination of French approaches to cultural analysis as a framework for an assessment of the participation of the audience and its engagement in the reception of the first Tunisian Film Festival that took place in Paris in March 2008. It starts with a short description of the objectives of a strong tradition in French sociology of culture that has sought to understand the articulation of social class with cultural practices through the examination of the patterns of behaviour of individuals, a tradition that has neglected the diasporic dimension. The objective of the article is to examine the place and forms of 'the national' in the audience's response to the festival taking place in a diasporic context and in a transnational film economy. An analysis of the responses to an informal questionnaire highlights the ways in which the audience participates and engages, without any apparent contradiction, both in the values traditionally associated with film culture in France and in a strong attachment to Tunisian films that have not always been valorised in the same film culture.

Cet article examine le rapport entre militantisme et institutionnalisation dans les études de genre et dans les études cinématographiques, ces dernières demeurant en France assez réfractaires à tout questionnement sur le genre. Par un examen du rapport entre enseignement et recherche dans les sciences humaines aux États-Unis et en France, ce travail pose la question des objectifs permettant d'établir des liens entre les deux champs disciplinaires et suggère la réappropriation par les études de genre de concepts-clés issus des études cinématographiques afin de développer de nouvelles démarches qui prennent en compte les schémas d'appréhension du cinéma d'un public étudiant et les cadres disciplinaires dans lesquels s'inscrivent de telles démarches. Il examine les possibilités qu'offre le concept de figure aux études sur la construction des genres au cinéma.
