Abstract: (french)
Cet article vise à analyser la représentation du travail dans le cinéma marocain et notamment celui du réalisateur Hakim Belabbes. Si le cinéaste marocain est connu par son fort engagement à filmer les différentes composantes socioculturelles et psychologiques de sa ville natale de Béjaâd, et à montrer surtout la misère et la simplicité de ses habitants, l’article a donc pour but de vérifier à quel point le travail serait également représenté comme peines et douleurs dans le cadre d’un « Cinéma du pauvre ». L’étude porte sur l’analyse thématique de certains films de Belabbes; un corpus varié en genres filmiques entre documentaires, courts-métrages et longs-métrages, et également en nature du corpus entre texte, son et image.
Author Keywords: cinéma, douleurs, représentation, travail.
