Notre recherche vise l’idée et la pratique d’une modernité filmique française intimiste, de nature autobiographique, inscrite dans une tradition culturelle où la littérature est essentielle comme voie créatrice spécifique. Nous nous sommes proposé d’évaluer le travail de libération ou de tension par rapport aux codes de représentation amoureux qui se joue dans certains films représentatifs de la Nouvelle Vague et y ouvre une voie originale de la modernité. Toute une pensée philosophique et cinéphilique s’est axée en France sur la question du moderne : Gilles Deleuze, Alain Bergala, Jean-Louis Leutrat, Jacques Aumont. Nous avons eu également besoin des apports de T. Jefferson Kline et des travaux de Giorgio De Vincenti, sur un cinéma qui travaille la littérature comme matériau. Nous avons ainsi eu recours à des approches parfois opposées, mais que nous présentons ici comme complémentaires. Nous avons à cœur notamment de conjuguer la visée de l’approche anglo-saxonne et des cultural studies (l’analyse des représentations des femmes et des relations homme/femme) avec la visée esthétique afin de dégager une particularité française de la modernité de la Nouvelle Vague – qui va peut-être contre le mythe d’un cinéma brut, quasi-documentaire, et de l’improvisation (proche du néoréalisme italien) – une particularité française donc par un attachement aux codes (ou par leur dépassement), aux motifs et topoï amoureux, à une rhétorique venant d’une tradition littéraire qui fait partie du patrimoine culturel français et par une tendance plus profonde encore chez ces cinéastes à filmer l’intime, à filmer les femmes, à filmer leur vie, filtrée et révélée par des « écrans » littéraires. / This research is centered on the idea and practice of a French intimist, cinematic modernity, of an autobiographical nature, inscribed in a cultural tradition where literature is essential in the path to creativity. This work proposes to evaluate the liberation or tension regarding the codes of representation of love at work in certain films, representative of the New Wave, that open an original path to modernity. In France, an entire philosophical and cinephilic movement is founded on the question of modernity: Gilles Deleuze, Alain Bergala, Jean-Louis Leutrat, Jacques Aumont. This study also takes into account the findings of T. Jefferson Kline and the work of Giorgio De Vincenti concerning film that treats literature as a material. Therefore, approaches sometimes considered opposite are presented here as complimentary, seeking to conjugate the aim of Anglo-Saxon and cultural studies (the analysis of the representation of women and the relationships between men and women) with the aesthetic in order to reveal a French characteristic in the modernity of the New Wave – that perhaps goes against the myth of a quasi-documentary « cinéma brut » of improvisation (close to Italian neorealism) – thus a French distinction by their attachment to (or the surpassing of) codes, motifs and topoï of love, to a rhetoric coming from a literary tradition belonging to the French cultural heritage, and by a more profound tendency of these directors to film the intimate, to film women and to film their lives, filtered and revealed by literary « screens ».

La décennie 1960 figure comme une période d’intenses bouleversements dans l’histoire du cinéma japonais. Une nouvelle génération de cinéastes s’impose et se démarque des "grands maîtres" des années 1930 et 1950, tandis que se diversifient les plateformes de production et que les grands studios voient s’effriter leur monopole sur l’industrie des loisirs. L’heure est à la libération sexuelle, à la contestation politique, aux mouvements citoyens contre la pollution industrielle : un climat libertaire propice aux irrévérences, dont le monde cinématographique se fait comptable à travers une série de "scandales". Pourtant cette nouvelle et turbulente jeunesse du cinéma ne saurait s’envisager comme un simple phénomène démographique, malgré ce que certains cinéastes, Nakahira Kô et les tenants d’un éphémère "Taiyôzoku", voudraient faire croire à la fin des années 1950. Pour d’autres, Oshima Nagisa, Yoshida Kijû ou Matsumoto Toshio, le renouvellement passe au contraire par une redéfinition du rôle du cinéaste et de la façon dont il "agit" le monde : aussi est-il plutôt question de "vision du monde". Cette transition se constate d’autant mieux qu’on la rapporte au cinéma d’après-guerre, dont Imai, Naruse, Kurosawa développent des options esthétiques spécifiques, pour bâtir un espace-temps entropique, miné par l’angoisse. Mais l’accès du pays à la prospérité au tournant des années 1960, célébrée en grande pompe par les Jeux Olympiques de Tokyo de 1964, semble dissiper cette angoisse, entraînant les cinéastes de la nouvelle génération vers d’autres modèles théoriques et esthétiques, aptes à rendre compte de la nouvelle société de consommation et de communication de masse. / The years 1960s stand as a time of upheaval in the history of Japanese cinema. A new generation of filmmakers arises, marking its difference from the so-called “great masters” of the 1930s and 1950s. The platforms of movie production diversify, while the great studios lose their domination upon the leisure industry. It is time for sexual freedom, political protests, civil movements against industrial pollution: a climate suitable for audacity and bold behaviors one can notice thoughout the cinematographic world, thanks to various "scandals". Yet that new and boisterous youth shall not be considered as a mere demographic change, whatever may pretend filmmakers such as Nakahira Kô and other upholders of the so-called "Taiyôzoku" at the end of the 1950s. Indeed, for the likes of Oshima Nagisa, Yoshida Kijû and Matsumoto Toshio, that renewal relies on the contrary on a new definition of filmmaking as a way to "enact" the world: thus would it rather be a matter of weltanschauung. Such a transition is obvious when compared to postwar films: for instance, Imai, Naruse or Kurosawa develop specific aesthetic patterns what draw a world of entropy, undermined by anguish. Yet the access to prosperity at the turn of the 1960s, as celebrated by 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, seems to dissipate such feelings, leading the young generation of filmmakers toward other aesthetic options, able to give account of the new society of mass consumption.

This diploma thesis is devoted to the changes of Miloš Forman's media image, more precisely how contemporary press perceived both his career and work. Miloš Forman is the most acknowledged and most famous czech film director. His story is connected with story of czech cinematography and story of its changes. The thesis wants to find out, why Forman wasn't defamed even though he left the country, despite his emigration. I am trying to prove that his media image has never been strictly negative and Forman itself never became a taboo. Forman's person is beyond all standards. He is proof, that if the work is not overly crtitical of the regime, it arouses respect despite all the ideology. He was reflected in the various life stages differently, but still in relatively good light. The thesis examines the perception of Miloš Forman by media in three life stages: work in Czechoslovakia before emigration to the United States, working abroad and finally the stage after the Velvet Revolution. Although Forman has participated in many films, this thesis is focused only on his feature-length work. And because Miloš Forman is a person who transcends the borders of Czechoslovakia, or the Czech Republic, media abroad reflected his career as well, although the view there was slightly different from the domestic one.

The thesis deals with Czech art of the 1980s and with the way it was at its own time reflected in relation to the concept of postmodernism. As a widely discussed topic postmodernism enters Czech art scene in the middle of the 80s. At that time key texts were written (primarily by Jana and Jiří Ševčíks and Ludvík Hlaváček) and first unofficial exhibitions of students of Prague art academies known as Confrontations took place. "New painting" or "new art" was interpreted and perceived as an expression or manifestation of the ethical, political and life attitudes of the "postmodern generation". In this context generational theatrical, musical and performative activities were of particular importance (theatre ensembles of Pražská pětka, musical performances of Vladimír Skrepl and Martin John at the openings of their exhibitions, Vaclav Stratil's, Margita Titlova Ylovsky's and Vladimír Merta's band Apage Satanas and others). The thesis discuses some shared attributes of postmodern "mood" and in this broad framework interprets work of some particular artists (Martin John, Vladimír Skrepl, František Skála, Martin Mainer, Jiří Kovanda, Margita Titlová Ylovsky, Jiří Surůvka and others).

This dissertation is a study on the integration of Chinese traditional musical elements in Western-style compositions for the violin by contemporary Chinese composers. As background, the development of musical synthesis in Chinese New Music since the 1930s is reviewed, and essential aspects of the musical language and aesthetics of Chinese Traditional Music are surveyed. Through detailed analyses of three representative compositions by contemporary composers Ma Sicong (1912-1987), Chen Yi (b. 1953), and Bright Sheng (b.1955), their different approaches to the synthesis of Chinese traditional and Western musical styles are examined. Historical context is provided in biographical information about the three composers, including their educational background, musical influences, and compositional styles.

The aim of the thesis is to map political activities of Ladislav Helge, a film director. Due to his social sensitivity and sympathies for the Red army as a liberator of Czechoslovkaia, he favored left-wing politics. At the beginning of his career he was not involved in politics and instead immersed himself fully in his profession of a film director. His first initiation to the world of politics came with the shooting of Frona. This film represents a turning point in both his artistic and political activities. Gradual de-Stalinization across the 1950s happened alongside Helge's first independent film project and his deliberate joining of KSC. The political intervention of the communist party into the liberal functioning of Czechoslovak film during the Banska Bystrica film festival determined his political activism that was to follow. In the mid 1960s Helge, as a leader of a professional film organization FITES, stood up to the attempts of the communist functionaries to curtail the artistic freedom of filmmakers belonging to the New Wave movement. Between 1968 and 1969 he led the Coordinating committee of creative associations and defended the freedoms gained during the Prague Spring. Soon after, his employment at Barrandov studios was terminated. In 1977 he signed the Anti-Charter. The last chapter...

In Outside the Metropolitan Frame: The Nouvelle Vague and the Foreign, 1954-1968 I examine the significance of the Nouvelle Vague directors’ engagement with the world beyond metropolitan France, through formal analyses of seminal films by Jean-Luc Godard, Chris Marker, Alain Resnais, and Jean Rouch, as well as close readings of archival documents pertaining to their promotion and reception. I contend that the directors of the Nouvelle Vague were concerned with the shifts in national, transnational and colonial dynamics that marked their era. I demonstrate that their texts and films are structured by a dialectical relationship between a gaze turned outwards onto the world beyond metropolitan France, and a gaze turned inwards, onto the French. In my first three chapters, I inscribe the Nouvelle Vague in a cultural longue durée by examining its formal and thematic continuities with the tradition of French ethnography; the inter-war artistic movement, Surrealism; and the cinéma vérité documentary tradition of the early 1960s. I illustrate that the films of the Nouvelle Vague were fundamentally shaped by their directors’ engagement with the decolonization of the French empire. In my final chapter, I reexamine the most conspicuous example of foreign influence on the Nouvelle Vague, American cinema, in light of my preceding demonstrations. I determine that there are two levels of foreign influence on the Nouvelle Vague, and that the influence of American cinema was above all textual and superficial, whereas a grappling with the end of the French empire was, though far less conspicuous, fundamental to the form of the Nouvelle Vague films themselves.
