The research on Ingmar Bergman is comprehensive, however, there is one aspect of his artistry that has been regrettably neglected – his use of music. Music always played a huge part in Bergman’s life, and it was also a great source of inspiration. The music was a structural component in the creating process and he often referred to his films as pieces of music and his actors as musical instruments. Moreover, music frequently played a thematic part in the plot. The purpose of this essay is to examine what function music actually has in a selection of Bergman’s films. To do this I have closely analyzed sequences in which music is performed in four different films from the sixties; Through a Glass Darkly (1961), The Silence (1963), Persona (1966) and Hour of the Wolf (1968). The basis of the discussion lies in the film sound research, mainly that of Claudia Gorbman and Royal S. Brown. The conclusion of this analysis is that Bergman’s use of music is quite extraordinary, particularly in creating a certain feeling of time and space differentiated from the rest of the story. The music has an apparent intrinsic value of its own, and consequently, it is a narrative instrument in itself.

À travers le prisme des impuretés esthétiques et poétiques L'art cinématographique d'Ingmar Bergman : une poétique d’impureté considérée dans quelques uns de ses films, Elena Tysuhova met en évidence les liens subtils, plus ou moins manifestes que les œuvres cinématographiques et télévisuelles du réalisateur suédois entretiennent avec les autres arts. En prenant en charge des considérations théoriques générales, préalables principiels, conceptuels et méthodologiques aux analyses filmiques, ainsi que les théories littéraires, linguistiques et esthétiques majeures, tout en déplaçant et situant le propos dans des pensées proprement cinématographiques, cette thèse de doctorat considère les films de Bergman en répondant à une « esthétique-poétique » ou à une « poétique-esthétique ». Les propos développés s'inscrivent résolument dans une perspective deleuzienne, privilégiant à la fois les singularités et les transversalités, s'attachant aux formes et configurations sensibles, dégageant les idées-formes, tout en s'intéressant aux liens d'impuretés noués avec d’autres arts, voire aux tentatives d'hybridations avec eux (selon l’idée d'Alain Badiou que l'art du cinéma est la tentative toujours renouvelée, bien qu'impossible, de fusionner les arts entre eux). / Through the prism of aesthetic and poetic cross-fertilizations, Ingmar Bergman's Cinematic Art: A Poetics of Impurity Considered in Some of His Films highlights the subtle, more or less obvious links that the film and television works of the Swedish director maintain with other arts. By taking into account general theoretical considerations, prior conceptual and methodological principals to the film analyze, as well as the major literary, linguistic and aesthetic theories, while displacing and situating the subject of the thesis in properly cinematographic thoughts, this doctoral thesis considers the films of Bergman in accordance with a "poetic aesthetic" or an "aesthetic poetics". The developed analyses communicate a Gilles Deleuze perspective. They privilege both the singularities and the transversalities, focus on aesthetic forms and sensitive configurations, emit “idea-forms,” and reveal the links of impurity to other arts and the attempts to hybridize with them (according to the idea of Alain Badiou for whom cinematic art is the constantly repeated but impossible attempt to merge together the different arts).

Boasting landmark classics like Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal and screen legends such as Greta Garbo, Sweden is home today to a rich and exciting contemporary national cinema that comprises the works of a diverse group of cinematographers, including Tomas Alfredson, Roy Andersson, and Nils Arden Oplev, director of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. In Directory of World Cinema: Sweden, Marcelline Block has assembled a team of leading international experts to situate Sweden’s film industry in a global context. Among the topics discussed in this volume are the characteristic genres of Swedish cinema—among them silent films, erotica, animation, and crime noir—and the great impact Swedish films have had on filmmakers internationally, especially in America and France for whose audiences Swedish films have often been adapted. Additional essays examine the significance of Swedish directors and actors—among them Ingrid Bergman—who have made a lasting contribution to global cinema. Completing this volume are reviews of classic and contemporary Swedish films and recommendations for further reading.

Denna rapport är en metaanalys av forskning inom fältet film och religion som handlar Ingmar Bergman och religion. Syftet är att redogöra för framträdande religiös tematik i forskning om Ingmar Bergmans filmer. Metoden som har använts kan kallas för ”en tematisk analys av en litteraturöversikt”. Källmaterialet som ligger till grund för analysen utgörs av två vetenskapliga artiklar, ett kapitel ur en monografi samt ett antologibidrag. De teman som lokaliserats i litteraturen utgörs av tre huvudteman: ”religiöst berättarmönster”, ”Gud” och ”människans helighet”. ”Religiöst berättarmönster” har två sub-teman: ”bikt” och ”konst och religion” och ”Gud” utgörs av två sub-teman: ”en frånvarande och tyst Gud” och ”en tvetydig inställning”.

The diploma thesis attempts to identify transcendental elements of "Yzur", a short story by Leopoldo Lugones. The thesis propounds several theoretical-practical methods regarding the matter. One of the methods is to compare "Yzur" to "Persona", the work of art of the Swedish film maker and screenwriter Ingmar Bergman. The comparison of both texts is based on their complementary reading. It is possible to determinate this way the transcendental points of the short story emerging from the following interlaced levels of the texts: the linguistic level, the stylistic level, the structural level, the thematic level and the interpretative one. One of the most outstanding transcendental elements of "Yzur" is precisely the richness of the possible interpretations. Other important transcendental features include the ambiguity, the contrasts and the active participation of the reader. Key words: Leopoldo Lugones, Persona, Ingmar Bergman, transcendental

The analysis highlights, in both works, the theme of the Silence of God, importante aspect in the work of the filmmaker. Ingmar Bergman is one of the biggest names in contemporary art and his films articulate philosphy and religion, making then a piece of fundamental interest to the Science of Religions as a manifestation of essential reflections in the artistic production of a society. The analysis supports itself in the works of film analysis by Jesse Kalin and Paisley Livingston and focus in understanding the silence of God as a form of abandom and seeing the carachters search for a personal answer from the divinity as a way of conquering meaning and mercy in their lives. As the analysis goes it is verified that this answer can not be found in the transcendency, by exactly when the caracther stop looking in its direction and turns his sight to the concrete and imanent / A presente dissertação de mestrado é composta da análise de dois longa-metragens de ficção, Morangos Silvestres e O Sétimo Selo, de Ingmar Bergman . A análise busca mapear nas duas obras a temática do silêncio de Deus, aspecto relevante na obra do cineasta em questão. Ingmar Bergman é um dos maiores nomes da arte contemporânea e seus filmes articulam filosofia e religião, tornando-os de interesse fundamental para as ciências da religião como manifestação de reflexões essenciais na matéria artística de uma sociedade. A análise, que tem como substrato teórico os trabalhos de Jesse Kalin e Paisley Livingston no campo da análise fílmica, centra-se no entendimento do silêncio de Deus como abandono e na busca dos personagens por uma resposta pessoal da divindade como maneira de imbuir suas vidas de sentido e misericórdia. Ao longo da análise, contudo, verifica-se que essa resposta encontra-se não na transcendência, mas justamente no ato de retirar os olhos dela e volta-los para a o concreto e o imanente

<p>Developments in technology and new aesthetic idioms in the past decades have changed the preconditions for the scenographer’s work in the theatre.

"Revolution" shows different ways of revolving scenography without the aid of technical devises such as the revolve stage.

<p>Projektiv identifikation är enligt den psykoanalytiska teorin grundläggande vid mellanmänskliga relationer. Samtidigt som begreppets betydelse och användningsområde är omdiskuterade finns förvånansvärt få empiriska forskningsresultat. Denna teoretiska, explorativa och kvalitativa studie utgår ifrån Ingmar Bergmans manus Scener ur ett äktenskap för att utforska begreppets användbarhet på en parrelation. Texten analyseras med tematisk analys och diskuteras utifrån hur projektiv identifikation kan förstås genom karaktärerna Johans och Mariannes relation. I texten illustreras en process som mynnar ut i ett återtagande av projektioner via tre olika tillstånd av inre relaterande: rigitt, rollbytande och rörligt. Dessa faser liknar ett kluvet, pre-ambivalent och ambivalent relaterande. Parenheten bildar ett projektivt system som kan utgöra ett grundläggande fokus i en parterapi. Mer empirisk forskning kring ämnet vore önskvärt för att denna teoretiska förståelse skulle kunna tillämpas i större utsträckning.</p>

The aim is to show that scenography, as opposed to set and costume, cannot be separated from the live performance, i.e. the context for which it is created. By investigating scenography from the parameters space, time, and movement, the thesis demonstrates that the art is anything but stable.
