The cinematic flaneur: manifestations of modernity in the male protagonist of 1940s film noir

Nolan, Petra Desiree Unknown Date (has links) (PDF)
The hardboiled hero is recognised as a central trope in the film noir cycle, and particularly in the classical noir texts produced in Hollywood in the 1940s. Like the films themselves, this protagonist has largely been understood as an allegorical embodiment of a bleak post-World War Two mood of anxiety and disillusionment. Theorists have consistently attributed his pessimism, alienation, paranoia and fatalism to the concurrent American cultural climate. With its themes of murder, illicit desire, betrayal, obsession and moral dissolution, the noir canon also proves conducive to psychoanalytic interpretation. By oedipalising the noir hero and the cinematic text in which he is embedded, this approach at best has produced exemplary noir criticism, but at worst a tendency to universalise his trajectory. This thesis proposes a complementary and newly historicised critical paradigm with which to interpret the noir hero. Such an exegesis encompasses a number of social, aesthetic, demographic and political forces reaching back to the nineteenth century. This will reveal the centrality of modernity in shaping the noir heros ontology. The noir hero will also be connected to the flaneur, a figure who embodied the changes of modernity and who emerged in the mid-nineteenth century as both an historical entity and a critical metaphor for the new subject.

Orientador: Marcius Cesar Soares Freire / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Artes / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-21T22:15:52Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Thompson_SabrinaRochaStanford_M.pdf: 2552373 bytes, checksum: 330c27377da01acb96852e237a4f9ee6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012 / Resumo: Nesta dissertação empreendemos um estudo sobre as funções do acaso na constituição das narrativas de duas realizações audiovisuais com temática religiosa afrobrasileira do candomblé de origem iorubá no cerne de sua narrativa: A cidade das Mulheres (2005) de Lázaro Faria e Pierre Fatumbi Verger: mensageiro entre dois mundos (1999) de Lula Buarque de Holanda. A partir da análise fílmica e de entrevistas realizadas com os diretores de ambos os filmes, o trabalho busca identificar as situações contingenciais que percorreram o processo de realização dos documentários, verificando de que forma situações relacionadas ao acaso foram constituintes e decisivas durante todo o processo de feitura dos filmes e estiveram presentes em sua estrutura final. A partir dessas análises buscamos também trazer uma reflexão acadêmica sobre os documentários de cultura religiosa afrodescendente, fazendo um levantamento histórico-metodológico sobre algumas realizações audiovisuais no formato longas metragem produzidos no Brasil com a mesma temática / Abstract: In this thesis we undertook a study on the roles of chance in the constitution of the narratives of two religious-themed audiovisual African- Brazilian movies. These movies have the Candomblé at the center of their narratives: A Cidade das Mulheres (2005) and Pierre Fatumbi Verger: mensageiro entre dois mundos (1999). From the film analysis and interviews with the directors of the both films, the work seeks to identify contingencies situations were related to chance that were decisive throughout the process of making these films. From these analyzes we also seek to bring an academic reflection on the documentaries about religions culture of Africa descent in Brazil / Mestrado / Multimeios / Mestre em Multimeios

O gênero cinematográfico commedia all\'italiana: uma proposta de estudo / The film genre commedia allitaliana: a proposal for study

Augusto, Celina Vivian Lima 27 March 2014 (has links)
O presente trabalho é uma reflexão acerca do gênero cômico cinematográfico denominado commedia all\'italiana. Para essa pesquisa, primeiramente, acompanhamos a evolução do cinema cômico italiano desde seus primórdios até o fenômeno estudado. Na formação do cinema cômico, aludimos não só à importância da contribuição da vertente teatral - através da commedia dell\'arte - como também dos atores cômicos do primeiro cinema, do período conhecido como telefoni bianchi, de figuras como Totò, Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia e Mario Mattoli, além da fase denominada neorrealismo rosa. Desse modo, através do percurso anterior à commedia all\'italiana, procuramos estabelecer sua inserção na tradição cômica da Itália. Também foram considerados aspectos importantes do contexto históricosocial à época do surgimento e consolidação desse gênero cômico popular do cinema italiano. Procuramos resgatar as origens e fontes da commedia all\'italiana, focalizando as diferentes fases que a compuseram e as principais filmografias que a evidenciaram. Ainda nesse momento, traçamos seus percursos e suas particularidades, percorremos a trajetória de seu surgimento e focalizamos algumas de suas características intrínsecas. Trouxemos a discussão de três momentos emblemáticos na história do gênero ao trabalharmos com três obras fílmicas significativas de diretores e fases diversas, apresentando alguns dos aspectos presentes na commedia all\'italiana e ressaltando questões que se mostraram pertinentes na construção de um senso crítico nas obras desse gênero / This dissertation explores the comic genre in Italian cinema known as commedia allitaliana. First, we accompanied the evolution of Italian comic cinema from its beginnings up to the phenomenon studied. In the formation of comic cinema, we alluded not only to the importance of the contribution of theatre - through the commedia dellarte - but also to the first silent comic actors in cinema from the period known as telefoni bianchi, including such figures as Totò, Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia and Mario Mattoli. We also traced the influence of the phase known as pink neorealism. In this way, through an analysis of comic genres before commedia allitaliana we aimed to insert it in the entire Italian comic tradition. We also considered the important historical and social contexts of the era in which this popular comic genre arose and consolidated itself. We attempted to rescue the origins and sources of commedia all\'italiana, focusing on the different phases that composed it and its principal films. We charted its emergence, traced its development and peculiarities and stressed some of its intrinsic characteristics. We highlighted three emblematic moments in the history of the genre through an analysis of three significant films from diverse phases and directors, showing some of the main aspects present in commedia all\'italiana and emphasizing the pertinent questions for a critical approach to works in the genre
