HBO HAS a little less than three months of the broadcast long-awaited final of Game of Thrones on HBO and OCS in France, released the book Game of Thrones decoded, signed Ava Cahen, editor-in-chief of French Mania, and author of several books, including Cheforama. The book, ideal to (re)update your knowledge on the series, also offers many small anecdotes, info on the making of the show, and also a perspective on the series in the company. There is even a question of philosophy ! A book very full, therefore, of which we speak Ava Cahen, with whom we talked. AlloCiné : where did you get the urge to do a book on Game of Thrones ? Are you a fan of the first hour of the series ? Ava Cahen, author and journalist : I would find it still more of a fan than me, it is a word that I would not call them, but a spectator for the first hour yes, I am ! This is a series that has me excited from the first episode, precisely because it catapults us into a universe very codified, very dense, very complex it is to decrypt The desire to make this book, both manual information and summary of points of tension, coincides with the announcement of the final season of GoT. I told myself that it was the opportunity to put everything on the table for a better understanding of the final, to deliver knowledge and information to date, while opening up the field to the main analyses socio-cultural result of this marathon series. This is a series that has revolutionized the small screen, whether it’s in design methods, writing, as the means put into work, worthy of super-hollywood productions Broad question without doubt, but why this series is such a phenomenon in France and in the world ? Broad question yes ! It is a combination of different factors. First, because it is a series that has revolutionized the small screen, whether it’s in design methods, writing, as the means put into work, worthy of super-hollywood productions, and even consumption, it is the series the most downloaded of all time. Never seen that before. Then, because it adapts the novels of Martin, already popular, surfing on their global popularity. Even if the universe it portrays is fictional and fantastic, it speaks of the power struggles of the way the choir as possible, of political, social issues that resonate with reality, and I think it’s, it brings together more than heroic fantasy. Some even fun to find commonalities between the characters, as legendary today as the heroes of Homer or of Shakespeare, and some of the political figures of today.
Finally, because the readings are plural, more playful to the more serious, This is the series the more media and mediated, the most commented in the world, it also speaks well of its spectacular aspect of its violence, its representation of women and minorities, or his positions on philosophical, Machiavelli, Hobbes … Here are a few elements that make it a phenomenon. HBO HAS that would you say that the book is aimed at ? For those who watch the series but are not sufficiently addicted to knowing all the secrets, and to all those who are still asking, after each season, who and who ? where is it ? where is it ? For amateurs and enthusiasts of cinema and series more overall, as it is in the work of reclaim the bases of the construction of this epic series and warrior, inspired by some episodes from the History of France and England, as by The Curse Kings of Maurice Druon, of which Martin is a fan, to speak of the form as the substance, but also of discourse and analysis that it gives rise, its phenomenon across the screen, as the growth of tourism in some parts of Europe where the series is filmed… It’s pretty full, for all tastes. resume the basics of the construction of this epic series and warrior, (…) speak of the form as the substance, but also of discourse and analysis that it gives rise, its phenomenon across the screen What do you expect from the latest season of Game of Thrones ? To know the conclusion already ! I do not believe in a final radical, even if the King night now has a dragon of ice, weapon of the most formidable, but, rather, to a form of compromise, something bitter-sweet. We are promised a hecatomb, surprises, shocks, even more than usual. But I can’t imagine Walkers White put an end to the world. The revelation of the identity of the “official” Jon Snow is also going to make the noise of a bomb for the characters still in the game. I think that our hearts will rise up. And I hope that the dictatorship of Cersei Lannister will not triumph, that Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion Lannister will be the big winners. But we can’t swear to nothing… >>> Game of Thrones decoded, Ava Cahen, Editions du Rocher, 354 pages, 18,90 euros.
