Book Synopsis Guy Debord and the Situationist International by : Tom McDonough
Download or read book Guy Debord and the Situationist International written by Tom McDonough and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-02-27 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical texts, translations, documents, and photographs on the work of the Situationist International. This volume is a revised and expanded version of a special issue of the journal October (Winter 1997) that was devoted to the work of the Situationist International (SI). The first section of the issue contained previously unpublished critical texts, and the second section contained translations of primary texts that had previously been unavailable in English. The emphasis was on the SI's profound engagement with the art and cultural politics of their time (1957-1972), with a strong argument for their primarily political and activist stance by two former members of the group, T. J. Clark and Donald Nicholson-Smith. Guy Debord and the Situationist International supplements both sections. It reprints important, hard to find essays by Giorgio Agamben, Libero Andreotti, Jonathan Crary, Thomas Y. Levin, Greil Marcus, and Tom McDonough and doubles the number of translations of primary texts, which now encompass a broader and more representative range of the SI's writings on culture and language. In a field still dominated by hagiography, the critical texts were selected for their willingness to confront critically the history and legacy of the SI. They examine the group within the broader framework of the historical and neo-avant-gardes and, beyond that, the postwar world in general. The translations trace the SI's reflections on the legacy of the avant-garde in art and architecture, particularly on the linguistic and spatial significance of montage aesthetics. Many of the translated works are by Guy Debord (1932-1994), the impresario of the SI, especially known for his book The Society of the Spectacle.
Book Synopsis Le 'Verbe' au cinema by : Boulou Ebanda de B'béri
Download or read book Le 'Verbe' au cinema written by Boulou Ebanda de B'béri and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un essai, politique, sur l'oralite dans un corpus de films d'Afrique noire francophone de 1950 a 2000. Dans un langage clair, l'auteur illustre comment dans les societes de l'ecriture, le texte engagerait l'Homme et que cette ecriture aurait impose un genre, un style et des modes de production de sens qui sont propres a ces societes de l'ecriture d'ou, par exemple, la naissance du langage cinematographique formalise. Ainsi il se demande ce qui arriverait a une analyse de film calquee sur ce langage dont les articulations discursives ne sont pas necessairement en adequation avec la mysticite de la parole qui, elle, engagerait veritablement l'Homme en Afrique noire? Qu'arrive-t-il a l'analyse quand l'image d'une parole detourne le sens prescrit dans les modes operatoires du langage cinematographique des societes de l'ecrit ? Comment le cinema, a travers la technique audiovisuelle, devient-il une technologie par excellence capable de nous faire voir la nature mystique et culturelle de cette parole ?

Book Synopsis À la rencontre du cinéma français by : Robert J. Berg
Download or read book À la rencontre du cinéma français written by Robert J. Berg and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À la rencontre du cinéma français: analyse, genre, histoire is intended to serve as the core textbook in a wide variety of upper-level undergraduate and graduate French cinema courses. In contrast to content-, theme-, or issue-based approaches to film, Professor Berg stresses “the cinematically specific, the warp and fabric of the film itself, the stuff of which it is made.” Sufficient proficiency in French is the sole prerequisite: “No previous background in film studies is assumed, nor is any prior acquaintance with French cinema. It will help, of course, to like movies, and to have seen quite a few…” (from the preface).

Book Synopsis Cinema and Art as Archive by : Aa. Vv.
Download or read book Cinema and Art as Archive written by Aa. Vv. and published by Mimesis. This book was released on 2015-03-11T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Jacques Derrida wrote in 1995, while considering Archive Fever, nothing is less reliable or less clear today than the word “archive”. Nevertheless, the historic-cultural dimension of the contemporary discursive practices in cinema and art develops in the semantic openendedness of the term, in the repositioning of the idea of archive.The individual disciplines involved in one such field – history of cinema and art, theory of cinema and art, aesthetics, semiotics, philology, etc. – begin to open up to questioning the notion of archive even ‘in negative’: in other words what – after Michel Foucault – the “archive” is not, or does not seem to be. The “archive” is not the ‘library of libraries’ or ‘encyclopedia’, it is not ‘memory’, it is not museum, it is not a ‘database’.In recent years, the attention focused on such ideas has not so much highlighted the ‘impulses’, ‘turns’ and specific forms of art (“art archive”) as it has revealed in many ways how the “archive” concerns us in the interrelation of aesthetic, political, ethical and legal levels among various disciplinary fields.

Book Synopsis African Diasporic Cinema by : Daniela Ricci
Download or read book African Diasporic Cinema written by Daniela Ricci and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Diasporic Cinema: Aesthetics of Reconstruction analyzes the aesthetic strategies adopted by contemporary African diasporic filmmakers to express the reconstruction of identity. Having left the continent, these filmmakers see Africa as a site of representation and cultural circulation. The diasporic experience displaces the center and forges new syncretic identities. Through migratory movement, people become foreigners, Others—and in this instance, black. The African diasporic condition in the Western world is characterized by the intersection of various factors: being African and bearing the historical memory of the continent; belonging to a black minority in majority-white societies; and finally, having historically been the object of negative, stereotyped representation. As a result, quests for the self and self-reconstruction are frequent themes in the films of the African diaspora, and yet the filmmakers refuse to remain trapped in the confines of an assigned, rigid identity. Reflecting these complex circumstances, this book analyzes the contemporary diaspora through the prism of cultural hybridization and the processes of recomposing fragmented identities, out of which new identities emerge.
Book Synopsis French Film Theory and Criticism, Volume 1 by : Richard Abel
Download or read book French Film Theory and Criticism, Volume 1 written by Richard Abel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two volumes examine a significant but previously neglected moment in French cultural history: the emergence of French film theory and criticism before the essays of André Bazin. Richard Abel has devised an organizational scheme of six nearly symmetrical periods that serve to "bite into" the discursive flow of early French writing on the cinema. Each of the periods is discussed in a separate and extensive historical introduction, with convincing explications of the various concepts current at the time. In each instance, Abel goes on to provide a complementary anthology of selected texts in translation. Amounting to a portable archive, these anthologies make available a rich selection of nearly one hundred and fifty important texts, most of them never before published in English.
Book Synopsis Queer Sexualities in French and Francophone Literature and Film by :
Download or read book Queer Sexualities in French and Francophone Literature and Film written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The steady development of queer theory over the last two decades has provided useful analytical tools and the will to dismiss the watchdog of heteronormativity. Modes of reading have evolved, as this volume of FLS amply attests. Following Bill Edmiston’s introduction to the volume — a concise and informative history of queer theory — the fifteen articles reveal, not surprisingly, significant diversity. One deals with queerness in the context of medieval writing where allegorical and euphemistic expression were understood to be irreconcilable. Another treats translations in Early Modern France of an Ovidian fable that had an inconvenient lesbian dimension. Rousseau’s fixation on his bottom (e.g., for spankings) points to a queer streak, while Gautier’s Mademoiselle de Maupin enhances the theme of sexual misidentity with ornamental figures. The queerness of Sand’s La Mare au diable emerges in the course of a contrasexual reading. A musicologist investigates the possibility of a lesbian esthetics of music in a work by Erik Satie, while a literary scholar finds evidence of Proust’s “outing” in Jean Santeuil. Other articles address the sense of gender transformation wrought by sodomy, a revised view on the writing subject in Jean Genet’s fiction, the queerness of heterosexuality in the works of Michel Houellebecq, and recurring motifs in recent fiction produced by “gay Paris.” Two of the articles treat activism and esthetics in film.
