This thesis explores the relationship between the social history and the filmic history of the swimming pool. The history of the swimming pool and the history of the movies wove themselves together during the first half of the twentieth century. By 1950, the image of the swimming pool and the image of the movie star were connected in the social imaginary. Discourses about gender, health, discipline and the body were moulded by the architectural environment of the swimming pool, when the movies translated the image of the swimming pool, they carried these ideas along with them. These ideas affected the formation of modern subjectivities. This thesis attempts to demonstrate one of the means by which a particular set of ideas infiltrated the collective psyche / Cette thèse examine le rapport entre l'histoire sociale et l'histoire filmique de la piscine. Elle tente de démonter le moyen par lequel une tendance particulier c'est inflirté dans la psyché collective. L'histoire de la piscine et l'histoire du cinema se sont entrelacé au cours de la prèmiere moitier du vingtieme sciècle. Par l'année 1950, l'image de la piscine et l'image de la vedette étaient liés dans l'imagination sociale. Les discours au sujet de sexe, la santé, la discipline et le corps étaient façonné par l'environment architecturale de la piscine. Losque le cinéma traduit l'image de la piscine, il emporte ces idées avec. Ces idées affectent la formation des subjectivités moderne. Cette thèse tente de dèmontrer le moyen par lequel une tendance particulier c'est infiltré dans la psyché collective.
