White screen, black masks : Othello and the performativity of race on stage and screen

Connelly, Daniel R. January 2003 (has links)
This thesis attempts to expose stereotypologies of black African skin as performed on the Shakespearean stage and before the Shakespearean camera. My research engages with a number of Tudor/Stuart travel narratives and plays containing imperialistic denigrations of Negritude. To accompany these early revelations of the 'unknown' black Other, I effect a close performative and historical consideration of Shakespeare's Othello (1602). By critiquing the repetitive containment of the character of Othello, the Moor, by successive theatrical ideologies, I work towards a full analysis of his twentieth-century representation on film. Here, through positioning myself within contextual, postcolonial, and methodological discourses surrounding representations of Othello by Orson Welles (1952), Stuart Burge (1965), and five other directors from 1981 to the present day, I confirm and analyse the politicisation of both genuine and masked blackness. In asserting that Welles's ninety-minute statement is powerfully emancipated from white ideological constraint, I nonetheless conclude that the Elizabethan and Jacobean tropes employed in dramatic formulations of black skin retain powerful visual significance within the contemporary film industries that interpret Shakespeare's Moor of Venice.

Ensinando história: produção de uma sequência didática sobre as representações do negro no Brasil

Ferreira, Mário Cézar Alves 29 June 2015 (has links)
Acompanha: Ensinando história: produção de uma sequência didática sobre as representações do negro no Brasil / Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal apresentar a produção e a aplicação de uma sequência didática como produto educacional, para a apropriação do conhecimento de professores e de estudantes sobre as relações étnico-raciais no Brasil, no ensino de História. Os conceitos de representação, apropriação e práticas culturais da Nova História balizaram a construção deste objeto de análise. No que diz respeito às representações do negro, buscou-se, durante a aplicação do produto educacional, discutir as teorias raciais, construídas no século XIX, a fim de identificar mudanças e permanências dessas representações nos dias atuais. Buscou-se, também, discutir o processo de exclusão social dos ex-escravos, que gerou implicações para os afro-brasileiros, a fim de esclarecer as causas da pobreza que afeta mais a negros do que a brancos. Para tanto, os alunos analisaram e discutiram as representações do negro no cinema nacional, com base em filmes realizados em diferentes períodos da História do Brasil, buscando superar as visões estereotipadas e discriminatórias dessas representações. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma escola pública de Londrina/Paraná, com uma turma de trinta e cinco estudantes do terceiro ano do ensino médio. De natureza qualitativa, nesta pesquisa-ação, os dados foram coletados mediante atividades escritas, orais e por meio de videogravação das aulas. Para a elaboração dos planos de aula que compuseram a sequência didática, foram selecionados como documentos o quadro Redenção de Cã (1895), a música A favela vai abaixo (1928) e quatro filmes, sendo eles: O Despertar da Redentora (1942), um trecho de Orfeu do Carnaval (1959), um trecho de Rio Babilônia (1982) e o filme Besouro (2009). Antes da elaboração dos planos de aula, foi necessário revisar a literatura sobre as especificidades linguísticas desses documentos, para a elaboração do material didático em questão. A preparação dos planos de aula partiu do seguinte problema: como as sequências didáticas de História, desenvolvidas com base em diferentes linguagens, podem contribuir para a desconstrução do preconceito racial no ambiente escolar? O fulcro das atividades, portanto, foi desvelar as origens do racismo e as estereotipias sobre o negro, aprimorar o olhar crítico dos estudantes sobre os discursos fílmicos e promover a discussão e a leitura histórico-social da contribuição dos negros para a cultura brasileira. Os resultados da pesquisa permitiram observar o quanto é produtivo para a aprendizagem trabalhar de forma problematizada e com diferentes fontes, estabelecendo uma relação entre presente e passado. Os estudantes puderam identificar as permanências de teorias racistas, construídas ontem, nos dias atuais, estabeleceram relações entre a exclusão social dos escravos e as causas da pobreza no Brasil. Foram também capazes de identificar, de modo geral, os arquétipos pelos quais o negro é representado no cinema nacional, identificando também uma valorização da apresentação do negro e da sua cultura no filme Besouro. / This work aims to present the production and application of a didactic sequence as educational product for knowledge appropriation of both teachers and students on ethnic-racial relations in Brazil, happening while teaching History. The concepts of representation, appropriation and cultural practices of the New History were used as guidelines for the construction of this analysis. With regard to the issue about the representations of black people, it was sought, during the implementation of the educational product, to discuss the racial theories built in the nineteenth century in order to identify changes and continuities of these representations nowadays, as well as the social exclusion process of former slaves and its implications for Afro-Brazilians today, in order to clarify the causes of poverty that affects more black than white people; analyzing and discussing the representations of black people in the Brazilian cinema from films made in different periods of the Brazilian History, seeking to overcome the stereotypical and discriminatory views of these representations. The research was conducted in a public school in Londrina / Paraná, with a group of thirty-five students of the third year of high school. Being of qualitative nature, in this action-research data were collected through written and oral activities and video recording of classes. For the elaboration of the lesson plans that composed the didactic sequence, the painting Redenção de Cã (1895), the song “A favela vai abaixo” (1928) and four movies, namely: “O Despertar da Redentora” (1942), a section of “Orfeu do Carnaval” (1959), and “Rio Babilônia” (1982) and the movie “Besouro” (2009) were selected. Before the elaboration of the lesson plans, it was necessary to review the literature on linguistic specificities of these documents, to the elaboration of involved didactic material. The elaboration of the lesson plans came up from the following issue: How can didactic sequences of history, developed from different languages, contribute to the deconstruction of racial prejudice in school environment? The focus of activities was therefore uncovering the origins of racism and stereotypes about black people, improving the critical view of the students about the filmic discourse and promoting discussion and the socio-historical reading of black people´s contribution to Brazilian culture. The results of the research allowed observing how productive the work with different sources by a problematizing way is to the learning process, establishing a relationship between present and past. So, the students were able to identify permanence of racist theories built yesterday, nowadays. They established relationships between social exclusion of slaves and the causes of poverty in Brazil; and they were able to identify, in general, the archetypes by which black people are placed in the national cinema, also identifying an appreciation of the representation of black people and their culture in the movie Beetle.

Representations of blackness in post-1994 black-centred films: an analysis of Conversations on a Sunday afternoon (2005), When we were black (2007) and State violence (2011)

Shabangu, Lorraine 28 January 2016 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in African Languages. Wits University, Johannesburg, 2015 / This report interrogates the representation of blackness in post-1994 black-centred films in South Africa. With a particular focus on Khalo Matabane’s films, I analyse Conversations on a Sunday Afternoon (2005), When We Were Black (2007) and State of Violence (2011) across a spectrum of themes. I also interrogate and introduce several critical concepts such as ‘blackness’, ‘the image of blackness’, ‘black identity’, ‘masculinity’, ‘femininity’, ‘the Gaze’ and ‘Otherness’. These concepts are interlinked in ways that bring about an understanding of the concept of black-centred films, which is central to the research report. Amidst the different interpretations of black-centred films, the vantage point from which the concept is used is interested in black-centred films as films that are made by a black filmmaker, whose content addresses issues of blackness and is targeted at a black audience. However, these three factors need not always resonate in a single film in order for it to be considered and analysed as a black-centred film. The lens through which Matabane holds the camera questions his representation of the black image and whether it is from an insider or outsider’s perspective. The view from which Matabane holds the camera is important in establishing whether he has purported to represent historically stereotypical images of blackness, or whether his endeavours in filmmaking are occupied by the relentless pursuit to present new images of blackness.
