The thesis deals with gender analysis in films studying metamorphoses of archetypes in film Bitter Moon directed by Roman Polanski. The methodical and theoretical sections of the thesis analyse the influence of archetype changes of film characters in gender roles. The thesis identifies and analyses mainly woman film characters appearing in some classical feminist texts, feminist film theoretical and critical articles, in some psychoanalytical works, in dramatheraphy and film science. The sources mentioned above became primary resource materials for our archetypal research. The analysis of each of the film character is focused on the most distinctive archetype with respect to its metamorphosy. Apart from the archetype research the thesis is marginaly concerned with problems linked to the female ideal and her sexuality usually portrayed in an unalterable way, and archetypal patterns are in such a way transmitted to audiences through femininity and masculinity in the context of gender roles. Keywords: archetype, Roman Polanski, Laura Mulvey, Annis Pratt, cinematic archetypal coherence, feminist film criticism, film narrative analysis, archetypal masculinity, archetypal femininity.

Solicitud de embargo por publicación en revista indexada. / El universo audiovisual que configura la sociedad está constituido por la violencia. Esta, por su capacidad para suscitar sensaciones variadas en la audiencia se ha convertido en una herramienta útil para los medios. El espacio significativo de visualización que existe para ella (Fernández et al.,2013), sumado a la explosión de las nuevas tecnologías, la accesibilidad a los nuevos formatos audiovisuales y la deficiente formación en competencias mediáticas de los usuarios peruanos en medio de este panorama; impulsan a preguntarse: ¿Cómo analiza, la audiencia peruana, las películas locales violentas? Esta investigación abordó la competencia mediática desde la dimensión de Lenguajes e Ideología y valores. La metodología empleada fue cualitativa y la técnica fue el focus group. Se concluyó que existe una competencia desarrollada en la dimensión de Lenguajes y que es preciso potenciar la dimensión de Ideología y valores desde el campo del discernimiento y la formación en moral. Los hallazgos son significativos para la industria de las comunicaciones y para el campo académico educativo y comunicacional. / The audiovisual universe that shapes society is made up of violence. This, due to its ability to arouse varied sensations in the audience, has become a useful tool for the media. The significant visualization space that exists for her, added to the explosion of new technologies, the accessibility to new audiovisual formats and the deficient training in media skills of Peruvian users in the midst of this panorama; They lead us to ask ourselves: How does the Peruvian audience analyze violent local films? This research approached media competence from the dimension of Languages ​​and Ideology and values. The methodology used was qualitative and the technique was the focus group. It was concluded that there is a developed competence in the dimension of Languages ​​and that it is necessary to enhance the dimension of Ideology and values ​​from the field of discernment and moral training. The findings are significant for the communications industry and for the academic, educational and communicational field. / Tesis

Desde la implementación del sondo en las películas durante la segunda década del siglo XX, la banda sonora ha ido ganando un lugar importante en el proceso de creación de una historia cinematográfica. De esta manera, se cambió la visión del cine como se conocía.  Con el nacimiento de géneros cinematográficos y creadores audiovisuales, el cine paso por una etapa de redescubrimiento donde la implementación de nuevas técnicas fue un factor importante de dicho cambio. Ante esta adaptación, la industria ha desarrollado el uso de la banda sonora para otorgarle una función más avanzada que el sólo hecho de evitar el silencio injustificado en una película. Esta investigación busca demostrar la capacidad narrativa de la banda sonora para la historia de una película. Para ello se tomará la película de 1972: El Padrino Parte I. La elección de el objeto de estudio se sustenta en la elaborada banda sonora que acompaña la película. / Since the implementation of sound in movies during the second decade of the 20th century, the soundtrack has gained an important place in the process of creating a film story. In this way, the vision of cinema as it was known was changed. With the birth of film genres and audiovisual creators, cinema went through a stage of rediscovery where the implementation of new techniques was an important factor in this change. Faced with this adaptation, the industry has developed the use of the soundtrack to give it a more advanced function than just avoiding unjustified silence in a movie. This research seeks to demonstrate the narrative capacity of the soundtrack for the story of a film. For this, the 1972 film: The Godfather Part I will be taken. The choice of the object of study is based on the elaborate soundtrack that accompanies the film. / Trabajo de investigación

Ce mémoire de maitrise se penche précisément sur une des caractéristiques de la culture du viol, soit l’érotisation des violences sexuelles. Il cherche à démontrer la présence de stratégies formelles et narratives érotisantes dans les scènes d’agressions sexuelles de longs métrages de fiction québécois des années 1960 à aujourd’hui et par le fait même, il étudie le fonctionnement du processus cinématographique d’érotisation. Afin de bien mener cette recherche, les agressions sexuelles, la culture du viol et l’érotisme font l’objet d’un exercice de définition. Le premier chapitre s’intéresse à la conceptualisation de l’érotisme, ce qui permet de circonscrire des stratégies formelles et narratives pertinentes à l’analyse de nos objets d’étude. Nous y détaillons les caractéristiques du cinéma érotique et du cinéma pornographique puisqu’elles participent au processus d’érotisation. Également, nous nous attardons sur la théorie des regards, notamment sur le male gaze, le female gaze et notre proposition de regard déplacé, puisqu’elle occupe une place prépondérante dans la définition de l’érotisme à l’écran. Le deuxième chapitre est consacré à l’analyse formelle et narrative de Gina (Denys Arcand, 1975) tandis que le troisième chapitre se concentre sur les études de La Rivière sans repos (Marie-Hélène Cousineau et Madeline Ivalu, 2019) et du cas limitrophe d’Elles étaient cinq (Ghislaine Côté, 2004) qui précise et nuance l’opposition entre l’érotisation et la non-érotisation des représentations d’agressions sexuelles. Ces analyses filmiques détaillées sont supplémentées de tableaux analysant 30 longs métrages. / This master’s thesis examines one of the rape culture characteristics, namely the eroticization of sexual violence. It seeks to demonstrate the presence of eroticizing formal and narrative strategies in scenes of sexual assault in Quebec feature films from the 1960s to the present. In doing so, it explores the functioning of the cinematic process of eroticization. To properly conduct this research, we define the concepts of eroticism, rape culture and sexual assault. The first chapter focuses on the conceptualization of eroticism, which allows us to determine formal and narrative strategies relevant to our objects of study analysis. Notably, we detail the characteristics of erotic cinema and pornographic cinema since they are all part of the eroticization process. Also, we elaborate on the gaze theory since it occupies a dominating place in the definition of cinematic eroticism, particularly on the male gaze, the female gaze, and our proposal of regard déplacé. The second chapter is dedicated to the formal and narrative analysis of Gina (Denys Arcand, 1975) while the third chapter focuses on the studies of La Rivière sans repos (Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Madeline Ivalu, 2019) and of the bordering case of Elles étaient cinq (Ghislaine Côté, 2004) which clarifies and nuances the opposition between the eroticization and non-eroticization of sexual assault representations. These film analyses are enriched by analytical grids covering 30 movies.

To the religiously minded, few things carry greater importance than a connection to the divine. For centuries, the literature of prophets and the work of gifted artists have served to create a liminal space where man and Maker can meet. The advent of cinema and the creation of the Internet pose unique questions for the artist seeking to lead an audience toward an encounter with God. In a modern world where discretionary time is dominated by on-demand video streaming, the value of understanding cinema and its myriad potential is particularly relevant. As a religious organization, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has eagerly (and to a certain extent, uniquely) embraced and used film to further its aims. This thesis will further the conversation already begun on the topic of spirituality in official LDS Church productions, particularly adding new analysis regarding the form and content of more recent institutionally produced films. How do stylistic trends in recent official film productions of the LDS Church relate to the broader academic and theological discussion regarding cinematic spirituality? After the introduction and thesis overview in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 will provide a survey of prominent works regarding cinematic spirituality. Theories that entertain how movies speak to human spirits are varied and highly subjective. Many theories about what makes a work "spiritual" grow from particular religious traditions and are informed by that theorist's beliefs about God's nature. Some theories are dependent on loosely measured criteria (editing pace, complexity of music, distance between camera and subject, etc.), while others rely almost entirely on the "feeling" a work conveys (which may or may not be determined by objectively measurable parts).Chapter 3 relates the prominent theories laid out in Chapter 2 to the cinematic efforts made by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the past two decades. Examining the form and content of these media projects will reveal trends that indicate inherent assumptions on the part of the LDS Church's media department regarding the purpose and potential of spirituality and film. Chapter 4 explores how the Church's typical approach compares and contrasts with films made by independent Latter-day Saint filmmakers. Some stylistic possibilities will be derived from the efforts of Mormon artists more generally and may have implications for how Latter-day Saint films could help spiritually engage audiences.

The pictorial elements of the first six books of the Aeneid can be evidenced through an examination of its structural components. With commentaries on such literary devices as parallels and antipodes, interwoven themes, cyclic patterns, and strategic placement of words in the text, three genres of painting are treated individually in Chapter 1 to illustrate the poet's consistency of design and to prove him a craftsman of the visual arts. In the first division, "Cinematic progression," attention is directed to the language which conveys movement and frequentative action, with special emphasis placed on specific passages whose verbal components possess sculptural or third-dimensional traits and contribute to the "spiral" and "circle" motifs, the appropriate visual agents for animation. Depiction of mythological subjects comprises the second division entitled "Cameos and snapshots." Three selections, dubbed monstra, are explicated with such cross references as to illustrate the poet's use of epithets which he distributes passim to elicit verbal echoes of other passages. The final division, "The Vergilian landscape," addresses two major themes, antithetical in nature, the martial and the pastoral. Their sequential juxtaposition in the text renders a marked contrast in mood which is manifested pictorially in the transition from darkness to light. A panoramic chiaroscuro emerges which is the tapestry against which Aeneas makes his sojourn through the Underworld. It is the perfect backdrop to accompany the overriding theme of "things hidden," res latentes, which encompasses a greater part of the epic and becomes the culminant motif of the paintings which comprise the visual presentation. Chapter 2 functions as a catalogue raisonne for art inspired by the Aeneid from early antiquity up to the present day. Such examples of artistic expression provide a continuum with which to appropriate Horace's maxim, ut pictura poesis, in their evaluation. The verbal exegeses in Chapter 1 have been programmed to comport with the thematic content of the visual presentation in Chapter 3, a critique exemplifying the transposition of the verbal to the pictorial. With these canvases I have attempted to render a new perspective of Vergil's epic in the genre of abstract expressionism. / Art / D. Litt. et Phil.

Nous exposons dans ce mémoire les principes qui fondent, au sein de la discipline des études cinématographiques, une conception théorique de la réception d’images animées reposant sur la modalité de consommation spécifique du cinéma en salle. Notre analyse d’un ensemble représentatif d’approches théoriques et historiographiques de l’expérience cinématographique permet de relever les principes qui orientent la conception de différentes formes de médialité conférées à l’expérience du cinéma en salle. Les théories du dispositif et du signifiant imaginaire de Jean-Louis Baudry et Christian Metz proposent une conception de l’expérience du cinéma en salle qui met l’accent sur les effets de transparence médiatique de certaines composantes des salles de cinéma sur les spectateurs ainsi que sur le caractère imaginaire, symbolique et institutionnel de ces médiations. La sémio-pragmatique de Roger Odin et l’approche historiographique de la New Cinema History telle que présentée par Robert C. Allen et Richard Maltby proposent une conception de l’opacité médiatique de l’ensemble complexe des effets de médiation sensorielle, relationnelle, sociale et économique de l’expérience du cinéma en salle et dont les spectateurs font l’épreuve sur toute l’étendue de ce type de site d’exploitation et sur toute la durée de son occupation spectatorielle. Au terme de notre analyse, les différents principes relevés permettent de formuler la notion d’expérience hétérotopique du cinéma pour désigner la conception de l’expérience du cinéma en salle qui caractérise la compréhension de la réception d’images animées dans le cadre des études cinématographiques. / This thesis explores how theories of moving image reception that have or have had a significant impact on the development of film studies as a discipline are centered around the movie theater and on “movie-going” practices. The analysis of a representative set of theoretical and historiographical approaches to the cinematic experience allows for the definition of key principles that unearth various forms of mediation at play in the movie-going experience. Jean-Louis Baudry’s “apparatus theory” and Christian Metz’s notion of the “imaginary signifier” both suggest a theory of movie-going experience stressing the transparency effects on spectators of the mediation of certain architectural and technological aspects of movie theaters and focusing on the symbolic and institutional nature of this form of mediation. In contrast, Roger Odin’s semio-pragmatic approach and New Cinema History’s critical historiography (as theorized by Robert C. Allen and Richard Maltby) conceptualize the opacity of a complex set of sensory, relational, social, and economic mediations occurring in movie theaters, which last during the entire experience of the audience in these exhibition sites. By unspooling the complexity of the theoretical stances above mentioned, this thesis moves towards the definition of a heterotopic cinema experience formulated from within the context of film studies.

Les théoriciens de la voix cinématographique, tels Michel Chion, Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane et Kaja Silverman, évitent une réflexion sur l’expression des rapports de sexe en relation avec l’appartenance raciale ou la question postcoloniale. Au contraire, l’afro-américaine Julie Dash et la vietnamo-américaine Trinh T. Minh-ha se servent de la « caméra-stylo » afin de déconstruire le paradigme dominant de la voix selon lequel l’image serait source de la voix. Les films, Illusions et Daughters of the Dust de Dash, et Reassemblage, Naked Spaces et Surname Viet Given Name Nam de Trinh, désignent l’épistémologie comme un enjeu : les hommes blancs se servent de ce levier que constitue la fabrique de la voix pour investir le lieu du savoir. Ce faisant, ces deux cinéastes contemporaines élaborent un paradigme féministe. La voix masculine transcendante est remplacée par la voix immanente et polyphonique des femmes de couleur. Dash expose les techniques cinématographiques vocales et pratique un montage qui établit une vraisemblance avec la réalité. Nous sommes enveloppés par les voix de ses personnages. Trinh nous fait comprendre « l’architecture » du langage vocal cinématographique et opère un montage qui suspend la continuité. Elle nous incite à en découdre avec des éléments disparates. À travers certains procédés (voix synchronisée/voix désynchronisée par exemple), les femmes portent témoignage de la violence des hommes. Elles révèlent que la justice de la loi du Père est aussi illusoire que la voix cinématographique. D’objet épistémologique, la voix des femmes de couleur devient outil politique : elle détient la promesse de changer les mentalités et de fait, les lois de la cité. / The theoreticians of the cinematic voice, such as Michel Chion, Mary Ann Doane and Kaja Silverman, do not address vocal representation as an issue of gender and its relationship to race and postcolonialism. To the contrary, two contemporary filmmakers, Julie Dash and Trinh T. Minh-ha, use their “caméra-stylo” to deconstruct the dominant paradigm of the voice which has spectators believe that the image is at the source of the voices they hear. The films, Illusions and Daughters of the Dust by Dash, and Reassemblage, Naked Spaces and Surname Viet Given Name Nam by Trinh, show us how the cinematic voice is a construction. The stakes are high: white men use this vocal illusion as a lever to impose control over the world of epistemology. As an alternative, Dash and Trinh propose a feminist paradigm. The transcendent masculine voice is replaced by the immanent and polyphonic voices of women of color. Dash reveals the cinematic techniques of vocal reproduction, and she practices a classical editing that reaches for fidelity. The voices of her characters envelope the spectators. Trinh brings to the screen an understanding of the “architecture” of cinematic language, and her editing techniques suspend continuity. The spectator’s own voice must continually intervene in the construction of meaning. Through various techniques (synchronized/a-synchronized voice), the women characters come forward to witness the violence of men. Their stories reveal that the justice of the Law of the Father is as much an illusion as the cinematic voice. Women of color therefore take up the voice as a political tool: it holds the promise of changing mentalities and, in turn, the laws of city.
