Silent Bilingualism in Olivier Masset-Depasse’s film Illégal
This article focuses on the synergy of bilingualism and silence, a thus far unexplored characteristic of Olivier Masset-Depasse’s film Illégal (2010). Illégal examines the path of a lawbreaker, an illegal immigrant, and her interaction with the authorities while in a detention center, a contemporary...

Cet article porte sur la synergie entre le bilinguisme et le silence, une caractéristique jusqu’ici inexplorée du film Illégal (2010) d’Olivier Masset-Depasse. Illégal examine le parcours d’une criminelle, une immigrée clandestine, et son interaction avec les autorités alors qu’elle se trouve dans un centre de détention contemporain, un appareil répressif d’État (Althusser). L’analyse démontre que les zones de contact modernes n’ont pas de frontières visibles, mais que leurs appareils répressifs d’État fonctionnent comme un mécanisme du pouvoir de l’État et une barrière contre les nouveaux venus. La protagoniste n’a pas de profil racial et possède des compétences linguistiques supérieures. Néanmoins, elle est traitée avec une extrême dureté par les autorités. Dans cette perspective, l’essai montre que ce n’est ni la langue ni la race qui déclenche la violence d’exclusion des immigrants de leurs pays de refuge. C’est plutôt l’altérité des nouveaux venus que les appareils répressifs d’État ne peuvent accepter. |

This article focuses on the synergy of bilingualism and silence, a thus far unexplored characteristic of Olivier Masset-Depasse’s film Illégal (2010). Illégal examines the path of a lawbreaker, an illegal immigrant, and her interaction with the authorities while in a detention center, a contemporary Repressive State Apparatus (RSA, Althusser). The analysis demonstrates that the modern-day contact zones do not have visible borders, but their Repressive State Apparatuses function as a mechanism of state power and a barrier against newcomers. The protagonist is not racially profiled and possesses a superior linguistic ability. Still, she is treated by the authorities with extreme harshness. From this perspective, the essay illustrates that it is not the language, nor the race, that triggers severe reaction of exclusion of the immigrants from their adopted countries of refuge.
