É realizado um estudo de caso, ilustrando as mudanças propostas por cada dispositivo em relação à Forma Cinema, e as consequências destas mudanças, quando aceitas, para a fruição estética de filmes. É proposto um levantamento teórico a Forma Cinema como sendo uma visão excludente de outros modos. O cinema historicamente apresentado como um processo co-evolutivo de múltiplos dispositivos. São observadas mudanças no conteúdo, e estas são contrapostas com a visão de Gene YOUNGBLOOD (1970) sobre cinema expandido 40 anos depois do seu escrito Expanded cinema.

In this thesis I use historical films to construct a social history of Japan's tumultuous interwar and wartime periods. I analyze filmic depictions of the Bakumatsu period (1853-1868), Japan's rocky transition to modernity, from the perspective of the audiences of 1925-1945, an era in which societal interest in representations of the Bakumatsu period soared. Methodologically, I use close visual analysis but move beyond an aesthetically-minded film studies approach to raise issues of audience reception, war and society, empire, sexuality and gender, censorship, urban spaces and popular culture in modern Japan. I have thereby intervened in the existing scholarship, which has either largely ignored films or focused overmuch on film's aesthetic merits. I seek to reclaim films, especially popular films, as historical sources. Close visual analysis illuminates aspects of visual texts that a solely historiographic approach might overlook. And a 'history-as-experience' focus on the audience, and the history of the period in which a given visual text was produced, is critical to the process of historical contextualization. The body of films I analyze offers vital evidence of then-current socio-cultural conditions and perspectives on history. I analyze commercially successful films, produced from 1925 to the war's end, in five chapters, on revisionism, comedy, serial history, hate the enemy films, and romances, respectively, and highlight the ambivalence of each type over the significance of the Bakumatsu period. Despite increasing pressure on the film industry to produce deadly serious hegemonic narratives supportive of the state and later the war effort, the hit films I examine contain many potentially subversive undercurrents. Their box office success indicates that covert resistance to Japan's militaristic course won favor with audiences. Those who lived through the 'dark valley' of 1925-1945 used Bakumatsu films to create a popular culture that was lighter in tone, and more resistant to state goals, than prior research on interwar Japan suggests. / East Asian Languages and Civilizations

This dissertation analyzes filmic environments within Weimar cinema and argues for a concept of Heimat in which the landscapes of modernity are embedded into the environments of home. Mountain films such as Der heilige Berg enact a visual mechanization of the Alpine landscape; industrial films such as Sprengbagger 1010 constellate pastoral and modernized scenes in a similar fashion to contemporary Heimat club journals; and urban films such as Menschen am Sonntag reveal the ways in which the city figures as Heimat within Weimar film. Further, film journals display contradictory discourses surrounding Heimat before the standardization of idyllic rural scenes in the postwar Heimatfilm genre. These filmic environments interact with the real-world environment in complex and multi-directional ways. They participate in the development of new ways of seeing, marketing, and using the environment and function as nodes within sociopolitical debates regarding human communities and physical landscapes. These findings complicate arguments made by environmental historians who have claimed that the German notion of Heimat, encompassing both natural and cultural elements, might offer a useful alternative to the essentialism of the American wilderness ideal. In fact, the image of Heimat as a rural nature-culture hybrid, at least within film, only became dominant in the Nazi era. Within Weimar cinema, the term Heimat represents the focal point of a much more diverse and open discussion of environmental values. / Germanic Languages and Literatures

The flow of immigrants to Canada continues to increase steadily. Questions regarding identity are thus unavoidable in order to understand how diasporic identities are constructed within a multicultural Canada. An important contribution to this debate is embedded in the cinematographic expressions that immigrants produce. Such cultural products serve not only as mean to represent themselves, but also to negotiate their positions in regards to Canadian society, as well as their countries of origin. The Latin American community is an interesting example, as multiple cultures, nations, histories, and identities are included within it. This study critically analyzes how identity is represented in the films produced by Latin Americans in Quebec. The analysis takes into account the films, the filmmaker's perspective and the conditions these documentaries were produced in. Given these elements, this research looks at how a Latin American identity is constructed from the diaspora, and what kind of cinematographic strategies the filmmakers use to articulate such an identity.

The Migrant Workers Hostel and the four Artisan Houses, situated on a corner site within the Newtown Cultural Precinct, holds untapped historic and cultural potential that no facility occupying that site has allowed it to reach. The desire to conceptualise a new role for these abandoned heritage buildings on this culturally significant site was the initial motivation for the intervention. The intended design intervention transforms the existing derelict site into one of opportunity, through a public education facility, allowing information to be accessed through the media film. Through the new interpretation of a safe study environment, 'Connection' allows everyone the opportunity of accessing information and furthering oneself. / Dissertation (MInt(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Architecture / unrestricted

Primeiramente, são considerados os usos que Puig faz dos produtos da indústria cultural em suas narrativas, subvertendo suas funções mercadológicas e ressignificando-os através da literatura. Em segundo lugar, as reflexões sobre a reprodutibilidade técnica de Walter Benjamin e principalmente sobre o teatro e o cinema são tomadas como base teórica para a análise de algumas crônicas e contos escritos no início do século passado por Horacio Quiroga, cuja percepção do cinema como meio de produção artístico parece antecipar o pensamento de Benjamin e, em alguns aspectos, a imaginação técnica de Puig. É também tema deste estudo alguns filmes de propaganda nazista e o cinema hollywoodiano das décadas de 1930 e 1940, inspiradores das narrativas cinematográficas de O beijo da mulher-aranha. Finalmente, o filme Destino narrado por Molina é analisado a partir de sua subjacente perspectiva ideológica, que se revela na medida em que os diálogos entre os personagens principais e seus posicionamentos políticos evoluem ao longo do romance.<br> / Abstract : This work intends to analyze Manuel Puig s novel Kiss of the spider woman as an allegory of the twentieth century mass utopias. Firstly, it considers Puig s usages of products of cultural industry in his narratives as a subversion of their common function, re-signifying them through his literature. Secondly, Walter Benjamin s thoughts about technical reproduction and specially about theatre and cinema are taken as a theoretical ground for the analysis of some of the chronicles and short stories written in the beginning of the last century by Horacio Quiroga, whose cinematic perception as a medium seems to anticipate Benjamin s reflections and, in some aspects, Puig s further technical imagination. It is also considered some of the nazi propaganda films and Hollywood movies from the 1930 s and 1940 s, which inspired the cinematographic narratives in Kiss of the spider woman. Finally, the movie Destino narrated by Molina is analyzed through its underlying ideological perspective, which is brought to light inasmuch as the dialogues between the main characters and their political stances evolve along the novel.

Na busca pela especificidade das formas – uma tônica do modernismo – um panorama disjuntivo foi se criando, a ponto de uma forma ser vista como espelho inverso da outra. Certas falas, pensamentos e práticas parecem mostrar que esse antagonismo dura até hoje, quando tanto se fala em dissolução de fronteiras. Baseada na ideia de que a proximidade entre cinema e teatro (que frequentemente fazem uso de elementos em comum: texto, encenação, luz, cenário, figurino, atores etc.) gera uma espécie de tensão identitária, a tese investiga alguns dos argumentos normalmente usados para demarcar cinema e teatro em campos opostos: o teatro é uma expressão baseada no verbal? O cinema é a dança das imagens? O teatro é o lugar da perspectiva fixa enquanto o cinema é o lugar da perspectiva móvel? O cinema está vocacionado às estéticas do real enquanto o teatro se afirma preferencialmente enquanto construção? O trabalho propõe a metáfora da dissonância para interpretar algumas possibilidades e potencialidades de conjunção entre as duas formas, na qual a distinção não é vista como oposição. A dissonância é proposta como estética de uma convivência que, mesmo sendo áspera (e por isso mesmo), pode produzir formas potentes que desafiam os lugares comuns do cinema e do teatro. / Usually described as opposites, or as brothers and rivals, cinema and theater have a history full of conflicts and mutual mistrust. In the search of the specificity of the forms, which is an issue of modernism, a disjunctive panorama has been created until the point in which one form is perceived as the opposite reflection of the other. Some claims, thoughts and practices seem to show that this antagonism lasts until today, even though so much is said about borders dissolution. Based on the idea that the proximity between cinema and theater (that frequently make use of common elements such as text, staging, lights, set, costume, actors etc.) creates some kind of identity tension, this thesis investigates some of the arguments generally used to demarcate cinema and theater in opposite sides: is theater an expression based on verb? Is cinema the dance of the images? Is theater the place of static perspective while cinema is the place of the mobile perspective? Is cinema inclined to the aesthetics of real while theater affirms itself as a construction? This thesis proposes the metaphor of dissonance in order to interpret some possibilities and potentialities of conjunction between these two forms, in which the distinction is not seen as an opposition. The dissonance is proposed as aesthetic of a coexistence that, despite being rough (and hence it), can produce powerful forms that challenge the commonplaces of cinema and theater.

Nesta etnografia, o cinema japonês exibido na cidade de São Paulo entre as décadas de 1950 a 1980 é abordado a partir da memória de antigos freqüentadores das salas de cinema do bairro da Liberdade. O foco desta investigação são os significados locais atribuídos pelos públicos nikkei e não-nikkei aos filmes japoneses, às salas de cinema da Liberdade e à experiência de freqüentá-las. A experiência vivida é acionada pelo método da história de vida e ganha centralidade na análise por meio das reflexões suscitadas pela antropologia da experiência. / In this ethnography, the Japanese cinema which was shown in the city of São Paulo between 1950 and 1980 is evoked in the memories of old-time movie goers of the Liberdade district. This investigation focuses on the local meanings attributed by both nikkei and non-nikkei audiences to Japanese films, to Liberdades cinemas and to the experience of frequenting them. Lived experience, which is made accessible by the method of life history, becomes central to analysis in a reflexive process provoked by the anthropology of experience.
