Neste contexto, essa dissertação propôs-se mapear os modos como são produzidos os discursos, os desejos e as performances de gêneros e sexualidades dissidentes à heteronormatividade em curtas-metragens brasileiros exibidos durante o Festival Mix Brasil de Cultura da Diversidade – Cinema, Teatro, Música e Literatura, que tenham como protagonistas homens gays. Para tal, utilizamos uma metodologia que buscou dar visibilidade às conexões rizomáticas das linhas que se entrecruzam entre Psicologia, Sexualidades, Gêneros, Desejos e Cinema. Assim, inspiramo-nos nas interlocuções potentes do método genealógico e da técnica da análise do discurso foucaultiana, combinados às perspectivas Queers e o pensamento deleuzeguattariano sobre a produção dos desejos. O campo amostral da pesquisa percorreu os anos de 2008 a 2013, onde foi selecionado para análise um curta-metragem edição/ano, além de entrevista com os organizadores do respectivo Festival. A partir disso observamos que os elementos presentes nos discursos e enunciados destes curta-metragens analisados possibilitam a desconstrução e desnaturalização dos desejos e das (homos)sexualidades dentro de padrões normativos e essencializadores. Todavia, tais curtas apresentam também outros elementos que nos levam a pensar em certa suavização da homocultura nacional retratada nas personagens gays dos curtas-metragens exibidos no Festival Mix Brasil de Cultura da Diversidade, na cidade de São Paulo. / Multiple visibilities and the several possibilities of new experimentations that are often staged on the many stages of social context, regarding sexualities, genders and desires, end up making up aesthetic territories in the realms of arts, such as the cinema, the theater, dancing, etc. These expressions of desires, which oppose to the social stratifications and heteronormative norms, create, as a result, scope for the invention of policies/ethics/aesthetics that will set themselves apart from pragmatism ideals, essentialism norms and power struggles established through discourse related to knowledge/truths/hegemonic pleasures. From this perspective, this study aims to map the means of discourse production, the desires and gender performances and sexual performances associated with the heteronormativity present in Brazilian short films that were exhibited at the Festival Mix Brasil de Cultura da Diversidade – Cinema, Teatro, Música e Literatura (Mix Brasil Culture and Diversity Festival – Cinema, Theater, Music and Literature), which shared a common topic: gay male protagonists. In order to do so, a methodology was used that sought to make visible rhizomatic connections between Psychology, Sexualities, Genders, Desires and Cinema. Thus, powerful dialogues of genealogical method and Foucault's discourse analysis technique were the main inspirations for this dissertation, combined with Queer perspectives and ideas concerning the production of desires conceived by Gilles Deleuze. Samples were taken throughout the years of 2008 to 2013, where one short film was selected for analysis each year, in addition to an interview with the festival organizers. From there, it was observed that the elements present at the discourses and dialogues from the short films enable the deconstruction and denaturalization of desires and (homo) sexualities inside normative and essential standards. However, such short films also showed other elements that may lead us to think about certain mitigation of the national homosexual culture portrayed by the gay characters displayed at the Festival Mix Brasil de Cultura da Diversidade – Cinema, Teatro, Música e Literatura (Mix Brasil Culture and Diversity Festival – Cinema, Theater, Music and Literature), in São Paulo.

[ES] Esta tesis estudia el cortometraje pionero del cine hablado español El Orador (1928) de Ramón Gómez de la Serna, dentro de la industria primigenia del cine sonoro a través del productor Feliciano Manuel Vitores y la Hispano de Forest Fonofilms. La incógnita que se abre sobre esta obra de arte "desconocida" ha llevado a buscar los pormenores de la cinta y su resonancia viva con el presente. La tesis ha comprendido un análisis del discurso fílmico revisando las condiciones y casuísticas que rodearon el texto, el contexto y su performance posterior, analizando la obra El Orador a través de la literatura del autor, en su vinculación política-social, tecnológica y cinematográfica con la España de los años 20 del s. XX. Este trabajo sitúa la genealogía de la conferencia dramatizada en el año 1928, demostrando cómo El Orador es la primera performance cinematográfica documentada en nuestro país. La tesis marca un punto de partida desde El Orador hasta la actualidad trazando una línea de puntos discontinua que abarca casi cien años, configurando un mosaico tipológico de "especies de oralidad" que, en palabras de Miguel Molina Alarcón, continúa la estela heredada de la conferencia como género artístico. El estudio verifica la herencia, supervivencia y rastros singulares de la metaoratoria ramoniana en los artistas escénicos de posvanguardia. El trabajo se estructura en cinco capítulos. El primero describe aspectos generales del autor relacionados con su corto y biografía. El segundo aborda el texto de El Orador, con ensayos afines a la estética de su discurso, su trayectoria de conferenciante, la novela Cinelandia y los guiones que ideó para cine. El tercero aborda la confección del film y su historia dentro de la industria del cine paleosonoro, en su conexión con los demás cortos de la empresa Cinefón rodados por F. M Vitores. El cuarto capítulo narra la presentación del film como performance y su resonancia con las artes escénicas actuales, proponiendo un collage de artistas oradores. En el último presento el proyecto de cine ensayo R. cinco aproximaciones al cortometraje. Los anexos contienen varias compilaciones; imágenes del Archivo Vitores, recopilación de textos inéditos sobre cine escritos por el artista, y sus bocetos manuscritos sobre cine. El tipo de investigación ha sido mixta: constatativa, comparativa y de enlace, esto es, se ha confirmado la hipótesis de partida a través de nuevos datos obtenidos y se ha configurado a partir del material principal una propuesta creativa personal, aplicando la corriente práctica de arte-investigación. Los resultados logrados han sido, por un lado situar El Orador en su marco temporal superando su visión anecdótica y revalorizándola. La presunción del papel histórico de El Orador ha confirmado ser positiva, demostrando ser un hito de su tiempo y del nuestro. El trabajo ha permitido interpretar la nueva oralidad en el arte contemporáneo desde las características humorísticas que prefiguró el escritor, abordando la actual escena performativa. Finalmente la realización de la película experimental R. ha supuesto un diálogo entre tiempos cinematográficos distintos y una propuesta de creación híbrida inspirada por la misma libertad de Ramón. La claves críticas y estéticas que se encuentran en la película permiten observarla hoy como un modelo ejemplar de posicionamiento político, intelectual y creativo. / [CA] Aquesta tesi estudia el curtmetratge pioner del cinema parlat espanyol El Orador [L'Orador] (1928) de Ramón Gómez de la Serna, dins de la indústria primigènia del cinema sonor a través del productor Feliciano Manuel Vitores i la Hispano de Forest Fonofilms.

XX. Aquest treball situa la genealogia de la conferència dramatitzada l'any 1928, demostrant com El Orador [L'Orador] és la primera performance cinematogràfica documentada al nostre país. La tesi marca un punt de partida des de El Orador [L'Orador] fins a l'actualitat traçant una línia de punts discontínua que abasta quasi cent anys, configurant un mosaic tipològic de "espècies d'oralitat" que, en paraules de Miguel Molina Alarcón, continua el deixant heretat de la conferència com a gènere artístic.

Els resultats reeixits han sigut, d'una banda situar El Orador [L'Orador] en el seu marc temporal superant la seua visió anecdòtica i revaloritzant-la. La presumpció del paper històric de El Orador [L'Orador] ha confirmat ser positiva, demostrant ser una fita del seu temps i del nostre. El treball ha permés interpretar la nova oralitat en l'art contemporani des de les característiques humorístiques que va prefigurar l'escriptor, abordant l'actual escena performativa. Finalment, la realització de la película experimental R. ha suposat un diàleg entre temps cinematogràfics diferents i una proposta de creació híbrida inspirada per la mateixa llibertat de Ramón. Les claus crítiques i estètiques que es troben en la película permeten observar-la hui com un model exemplar de posicionament polític, intelectual i artístic. / [EN] This thesis explores the pioneering short film of Spanish spoken cinema, El Orador (1928), by Ramón Gómez de la Serna, in the context of the nascent international sound cinema industry through producer Feliciano Manuel Vitores and Hispano Forest Fonofilms. The enigmas surrounding this "unknown" work of art led to a study of every detail about the film, and its resonance with the present. The thesis involved an analysis of the filmic discourse, reviewing the environmental factors surrounding the text, its context and subsequent performance; studying the piece through the author’s literary works and through its socio-political, technological and filmographical ties to Spain in the 1920s. This paper sets the genealogy of the performative conference in Spain in 1928, showing El Orador as the first ever film performance documented in our country. The thesis begins its journey with El Orador through the present day, drawing an intermittent timeline that spans almost a hundred years, crafting a typological mosaic of “oral species” that, in the words of Miguel Molina, continues the legacy of the conference as an artistic genre. This study verifies the heritage and endurance of the ramonian meta-oratory among avant-garde performing artists from the 1950s onward. The thesis is structured in five chapters. The first describes geneal aspects of the author related to his short film and biography. The second focuses on the film’s script, compiling ramonian essays with a similar aesthetic, as well as Ramon’s own trajectory as a lecturer, including a study of the novel Cinelandia and other scenarios he planned. The third chapter covers the creation of the film and its history within the paleosonic film industry and its connection with other short films by F. M Vitores for Cinefón. The four chapter narrates the film’s presentation as performance and its resonance in the current performing arts and a collage of contemporary oral artists. The last chapter details project R. five studies of short film feature by the author. The annexes contain several compilations, on the one hand a selection from the Archive Vitores, and on the other Ramon’s writing about film, images of Ramón's manuscripts, brought together for the first time. The type of research has been mixed: factual, comparative and pursuing links, meaning the initial hypotheses has been confirmed through new data uncovered, and a personal creative proposal has been configured from the main material and applying the practical current movement of art-research. The results achieved include, first and foremost, setting El Orador in its proper place in time, going beyond its anecdotal role and reclaiming its true importance. The assumption of El Orador’s historic contribution has proven to be correct, revealing it as a milestone piece of its time and ours. The study allowed an interpretation of the new oral trend in contemporary art from the use of humor so characteristic of the writer. Finally, the experimental film R. allowed a dialogue between different film eras and a proposal of a type of hybrid creation inspired by Ramon’s own freedom. The key critical and aesthetic points found in the film allow us to view it as an exemplary model in its political, intellectual and creative positioning. / Grueso Hierro, A. (2021).

Svensk filmindustri idag finansieras huvudsakligen genom statliga medel. Dock finns det inte tillräckligt med finansiella medel jämfört det antal svenska filmer som produceras varje år. När finansieringen är otillräcklig kan det vara av största vikt att förstå och kunna arbeta med finansiell bootstrapping som verktyg för att kunna slutföra produktionen av filmen. Finansiell bootstrapping är ett begrepp som kan fungera som ett resursanskaffande verktyg för att tillföra resurser till en produktion till en lägre kostnad än marknadspriset, eller till ingen kostnad alls. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka om detta verktyg finns inom svensk filmproduktion – och i så fall vilka som använder verktyget och varför. Forskningen avser också att utreda tillvägagångssätt och tankar kring känslor om användandet, både inom kort- och långfilmsproduktioner. Vi har funnit att användning av finansiell boostrapping finns och är generellt sett mer frekvent använt i produktioner som inte är fullt finansierade. Förekomsten av användandet är oftast vanligare i kortfilm än i långfilm, men att det existerar inom båda formerna av filmproduktion samt att verktyget används av olika befattningshavare. Utsagorna om känslor kring användandet av finansiell bootstrapping är tvetydiga – det uppstår enligt respondenterna ofta positiva känslor när det finns en ömsesidig vinning mellan de berörda avtalsparterna, men också negativa känslor när utbytet av överenskommelsen är mest gynnsamt för den ena parten. / Contemporary Swedish film industry is financed mainly by government funding. However, there is potentially not enough funding in comparison to how many films are produced in Sweden every year. When funding is inadequate it could be paramount to master the concept and instrument of financial bootstrapping in order to complete a film. Financial bootstrapping is a term and tool regarding the acquirement of resources, albeit to a lower cost than market value or to no costs at all. This essay aims to investigate whether this phenomenon exist within the Swedish film industry, if so - who is using this tool and why. The research also intends to chart the approach and feelings of users both in short film as well as full feature film. We have found that utilization exists and is generally more frequent amongst films that are not fully financed. The occurrence is often more common in short films than in feature films; also it exists within the different levels of film production and is used by various positions. Thoughts regarding the practice of financial bootstrapping are ambiguous; there are positive approaches when there is a mutual gain between the relevant participants, but also, negative approaches when the benefits from the collaboration are divided unfairly.

I focus on the years 1920-1923 to gain an alternative understanding of modernism's annus mirabulus and the years immediately preceding and following it. My first chapter studies the most critically disregarded author of the project: Sackville-West. Her 1922 volume of short stories The Heir: A Love Story deserves attention for its examination of social hierarchies. Although her stories ridicule characters regardless of their class background, those who attempt to change their class status, especially when not sanctioned by heredity, are treated with the greatest contempt. The volume, with the reinforcement of the contracted short form, advocates staying within given class boundaries. The second chapter analyzes social structures in Bowen's first book of short stories, Encounters (1922). Like Sackville-West, Bowen's use of the short form complements her interest in how class hierarchies can confine characters. Bowen's portraits of classed encounters and of characters' encounters with class reveal a sense of anxiety over being confined by social status and a sense of displacement over breaking out of class groups, exposing how class divisions accentuate feelings of alienation and instability. The last chapter examines Chaplin's final short films: "The Idle Class" (1921), "Pay Day (1922), and "The Pilgrim" (1923). While placing Chaplin among the modernists complicates the canon in a positive way, it also reduces the complexity of this man and his art. Chaplin is neither a pyrotechnic modernist nor a traditional sentimentalist. Additionally, Chaplin's shorts are neither socially liberal nor conservative. Rather, Chaplin's short films flirt with experimental techniques and progressive class politics, presenting multiple perspectives on the thematic of social hierarchies. But, in the end, his films reinforce rather than overthrow traditional artistic forms and hierarchical ideas. Studying these artists elucidates how the contracted space of the short form produces the perfect room to present a nuanced portrayal of class. / Committee in charge: Paul Peppis, Chairperson, English; Michael Aronson, Member, English; Mark Quigley, Member, English; Jenifer Presto, Outside Member, Comparative Literature
