Thesis--Bonn. / Vita. Bibliography: p. 289-290.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the overlooked technical role of cinematography, by discussing its artistic effects. I intend to examine the career of a single cinematographer, in order to demonstrate whether a dinstinctive cinematographic style may be defined. The task of this thesis is therefore to define that cinematographer’s style and trace its development across the course of a career. The subject that I shall employ in order to achieve this is the émigré cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan, who is perhaps most famous for his invention ‘The Schüfftan Process’ in the 1920s, but who subsequently had a 40 year career acting as a cinematographer. During this time Schüfftan worked throughout Europe and America, shooting films that included Menschen am Sonntag (Robert Siodmak et al, 1929), Le Quai des brumes (Marcel Carné, 1938), Hitler’s Madman (Douglas Sirk, 1942), Les Yeux sans visage (Georges Franju, 1959) and The Hustler (Robert Rossen, 1961). During the course of this thesis I shall examine the evolution of Schüfftan’s style, and demonstrate how Schüfftan has come to be misunderstood as a cinematographer of German Expressionism. The truth, as I will show, is far more complex. Schüfftan also struggled throughout his career to cope with the consequences of exile. In this thesis I will also therefore examine the conditions of exile for an émigré cinematographer, and in particular Schüfftan’s prevention from joining the American Society of Cinematographers. I intend to demonstrate how an understanding of cinematographic style can shed new light on a film, and to give renewed attention to an important cinematographer who has been largely ignored by film history.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between German Expressionist film and Hegel’s system of aesthetics. Through an analysis of the aesthetic qualities of Hanns Ewers’ The Student of Prague (1913) and F.W. Murnau’s Faust, I believe we have evidence to believe that the subjectivity that German Expressionist film sought to capture is aligned with the ‘interiority’ that Hegel believes Romantic art expresses. Further, I will consider whether these two films indicate that film as an artistic medium falls within Hegel’s characterization of Modern art. I believe that because both Student of Prague and Faust use elements of Romantic art in an effort to convey the melancholy spirit, and that the melancholy spirit is reflection and product of a uniquely modern Germany, these films indicate that film as a medium fulfill the requirements Hegel sets for Modern art.

This thesis offers a new way to conceptualize Hermann Max Pechstein’s “primitivism” as a kind of ethnographic “primitivism.” By creating a constellation that connects Pechstein’s Nidden and Palau-based projects, Paul Gauguin’s “primitivist” aesthetic, and the research produced by German ethnographers, I argue that the “documentary” nature of Pechstein’s work paradoxically merges the “scientific” aspects of ethnography with his, and more generally, other Expressionists’ interest in the “primitive.” In addition, the following work demonstrates that the purportedly “scientific” representations and visual accounts of South Seas natives that ethnographers like Otto Finsch produced in the late 1800s and early 1900s heavily and problematically relied on an aestheticization of these foreign people that renders them as decorative, “exotic” objects, which are in many ways subjugated to the gaze of and “on display” for the Westerners examining them. This thesis ultimately focuses on how Pechstein’s representations of people from Palau effectively combine the style typical of most Expressionists and an impulse towards ethnographic depiction not seen in the work of his Brücke colleagues.

O objetivo desta tese é trabalhar os indícios da leitura do expressionismo alemão feita por Mário de Andrade, vinculados a um diálogo que implica apropriação, ou seja, a criação poética ou teórico-estética do modernista brasileiro, vinculada ao \"Prefácio interessantíssimo\", a poemas de Paulicéia desvairada, à poesia em Losango cáqui e em Clã do jabuti, bem como à poética traçada em A escrava que não é Isaura. Pesquisa que se inscreve no estudo de biblioteca de escritores, na crítica genética, inclina-se sobre o diálogo intertextual que as notas autógrafas, nas margens de obras, e a leitura não anotada instaura. A tese compõem-se de duas partes. A primeira, o ensaio, explora o encontro e o débito da criação de Mário de Andrade com poetas na antologia Menschheitsdämmerung, e com os teóricos do movimento Worringer, Pinthus, Landsberger e Schreyer. A segunda, uma edição eletrônica (CD-ROM) apresenta, em fac-símile, o conjunto das leituras e das anotações do escritor/leitor, acompanhado da transcrição diplomática dessas notas e de dados históricos a respeito de autores, livros e revistas do expressionismo. / The objective of this thesis is to work on the traces of expressionism reading made by Mário de Andrade, connected with a dialogue which implies an apprehension, that is, the Brazilian modernist´s poetical and theoretical-esthetical creation, related to \"Prefácio Interessantíssimo\", the poems from Paulicéia desvairada, the poetry in Losango cáqui and Clã do jabuti, as well as the poetics developed in A escrava que não é Isaura. This research is articulated with the study of writer´s library and genetic criticism, focusing, therefore, on intertextual dialogue established by handwritten notes in the margin of books or even by readings without notes. The thesis is composed of two parts: the first, an essay, exploits the encounter and debt of Mário de Andrade`s creation with poets from the Menschheitsdämmerung antology and also with theoreticians from the movement (Worringer, Pinthus, Landsberger and Schreyer). The second part, an electronic edition (CD-ROM), presents in fac-simile, the total of readings and notes from the writer/reader, followed by diplomatic transcription of these notes and historical information on expressionist authors, books and magazines.

Através da metodologia de análise cinematográfica de Vanoye e Goliot-Lété, apoiada pela concepção de contextualização histórica de Marc Ferro, apresenta-se uma leitura dos aspectos românticos presentes nos filmes O Gabinete do Dr. Caligari (1919), de Robert Wiene, O Golem – Como veio ao mundo (1920), de Paul Wegener, e Nosferatu (1922), de F. W. Murnau. A análise evidencia que essa influência está presente em todos os aspectos dos filmes, sendo notada nas narrativas, na estética e no uso das técnicas cinematográficas, construindo uma mise-en-scène que estabelece uma atmosfera para cada obra e revela uma crítica em relação à modernidade. / This study shows how Romanticism influenced and shaped a generation of movies that became icons of the world cinematography and constituted a genre of its time, the expressionism.
