Images of the end : representations of the apocalyptic in contemporary filmLindohf, Jessica Malin January 2002 (has links)
This thesis sets out to investigate the relationship between the ‘classical apocalypse’ and the contemporary apocalypse as portrayed by the films A Clockwork Orange (1971), Apocalypse Now (1979) and Crash (1995). The ‘classical apocalypse’ is a literary genre which supplies a rich and vivid imagery where the image takes precedence over the narrative. At the centre of the ‘classical apocalypse’ is the image, and this thesis explores it the imagery of apocalypse can be translated from its traditional literary form to the visual form of film. The apocalypse is a revealing of that which has been concealed and which lies in the future of humankind at the end of time. In the postmodern era with the absence of meaning, apocalypse and God, the apocalypse has become a nihilistic repetition and the revealing has become feared since it might be a revealing of nothing. These contemporary depictions of the end, I would argue, help the apocalypse to come into its own in a postmodern setting, and the medium of film offers a possibility to further emphasise the visuality and potent imagery of the end, expressing the concerns of the apocalypse fully. As such they provide a ‘sense of an ending’ and an apocalyptic sentiment which is an unnerving and evasive as the ‘classical apocalypse’. These films revisit as well as revamp and rehearse the imagery of the Biblical apocalypse, becoming a-theological statements if not on the Bible, on the state of society and the apocalypse.

Darstellung und Interpretation der Passion Jesu in ausgewählten Verfilmungen des Lebens Jesu / The presentation and interpretation of the Passion of Jesus in selected films about his lifeHeise, Werner 10 1900 (has links)
German text / Diese Forschungsarbeit untersucht anhand ausgewählter Verfilmungen wie die Passion Jesu
im Prozess gesellschaftlicher Kommunikation präsentiert wird und welche Deutungen ihr gegeben
werden. Bei abnehmender christlicher Sozialisation kommt der medialen Vermittlung
eine zunehmende Bedeutung zu. Ausgehend von den Kontroversen um eine Darstellung des Lebens Jesu im
Film soll gezeigt werden, dass die Passion Jesu als Kerngeschichte des Christentums in diesem
Medium erzählt werden kann, was aus theologischer Sicht dabei zu beachten ist und welche kritische
Funktion speziell der neutestamentlichen Wissenschaft dabei zukommt. Sowohl die Notwendigkeit
audiovisueller Präsentation der Passion als auch deren Interpretation durch begleitende
Verkündigung im sozialen Kontext werden herausgearbeitet. / This thesis uses selected films to examine how the passion of Jesus is presented within the
process of social communication and which interpretation it is given. The decline of christian
socialisation leads to rising importance of communication by media. Starting with the controversies
about making films about the life of Jesus it will be shown, that the passion of Jesus as a central
story of christianity can be told in this media, what should be observed from a theological point
of view and the critical function of especially New Testament scholarship. The necessity of
audiovisual presentation of the passion as well as its interpretation completed by preaching within
the social context will be shown. / New Testament / M. Th. (New Testament)
