'See ourselves as others see us' : a phenomenological study of James Joyce's Ulysses and early cinemaHanaway-Oakley, Cleo Alexandra January 2012 (has links)
This thesis examines James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922) and early cinema (c. 1895-1920) through Merleau-Pontian phenomenology. Instead of arguing for lines of direct influence between specific films and particular parts of Ulysses, I show that Joyce’s text and selected early films and film genres exhibit parallel philosophies. Ulysses and early cinema share similar ideas on the embodied nature of perception, the close relationship between mind and body, the intermingling of the human and the mechanical, intersubjectivity, and the subject’s inherence in the world. All of these shared ideas are inherently phenomenological. My phenomenological position on the Joyce-and-cinema relationship is at odds with a popular strain of scholarship which cites impersonality, neutrality, and automatism as the key linking factors between early cinema and modernist literature (including Joyce). ‘Joyce-and-cinema’ studies is a relatively large, and growing, field; as is ‘modernism-and-cinema’ studies. As well as ploughing my own path through an already crowded area, I analyse the different trends present (both historically and currently) in each area of study. I also add to the scholarship on phenomenological film theory by analysing the work of phenomenologically inflected film-philosophers and suggesting some new ways in which Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology might be used in the analysis of films and literature. I provide close analyses of several episodes of Ulysses and pay particular attention to ‘Ithaca’, ‘Circe’, ‘Nausicaa’, and ‘Wandering Rocks’. Several of Charlie Chaplin’s Mutual films are analysed, as are a select number of films by George Méliès. I also look at other trick-films, Irish melodrama, panoramas, ‘phantom rides’, and local actuality films (especially Mitchell and Kenyon’s Living Dublin series). Proto-cinematic devices – the Mutoscope and stereoscope – are also included in my analyses.

"Jag är ju allt, egentligen." : En kritisk studie av könstillhörighetens relevans för framställningen av Mai Zetterling som auteur / “I’m everything, really.” : A critical study of the relevance of gender specificity in dealings with Mai Zetterling as an auteurTomani, Ebba January 2015 (has links)
This essay deals with the idea of women as the ”the other sex” within the field of authorship, and aims to bring to together feminist, film and auteur theory with analysis of historic documentations of reception as well as context for academic treatments of Mai Zetterling as an auteur/director. This, in attempt to, through intertwined discussion, catch a glimpse of better understanding how gender specificity may have influenced and continue to influnce perceptions of auteurs of female gender and their works, yet keeping focus on the case of Mai Zetterling and hers in specific.

La marche des morts-vivants : une sociologie praxéologique de la médiation critique / March of the living-dead : a praxeological approach to film criticism as mediationHedström, Julia 08 March 2013 (has links)
En remontant à la genèse de la réception de La Nuit des Morts-vivants (Romero, 1968) dans la presse américaine entre 1967-1971, la présente recherche vise à élucider sa trajectoire médiatique et, ce faisant, montrer le caractère progressif de sa consolidation en tant que film culte, œuvre d’art et phénomène digne d’intérêt public. L’investigation cherche ainsi à comprendre comment un film qualifié d’« orgie sadique » par sa première critique nationale dans le magazine Variety devient digne d’une projection au Musée d’Art Moderne à New York et donne naissance à de nombreuses interprétations, lancées en 1970 par sa critique européenne. La Nuit sera compris comme un reflet métaphorique à peine déguisé des conflits internes (tensions raciales, l’affaiblissement du patriarcat traditionnel) et externes (guerre du Vietnam) traversés par la société américaine. Au-delà l’immédiateté de ses images violentes de cannibalisme, son contenu sera jugé comme socialement subversif. Au final, ce petit film d’horreur produit par une équipe d’inconnus de Pittsburgh deviendra partie intégrale du patrimoine culturel des États-Unis et donc de la mémoire nationale. C’est dire que le travail des critiques fait bien davantage que d’informer une communauté de lecteurs, spectateurs, auditeurs, au sujet d’une nouvelle sortie culturelle. La tâche journalistique consistant à informer des publics anonymes est également une opération de médiation. En présentant La Nuit des Morts-vivants comme un miroir de la société, les critiques font de l’imaginaire une source de réflexion sur le vivre ensemble. Ce faisant, ils permettent à une collectivité nationale d’une société démocratique caractérisée par la communication de masse de se donner à voir à elle-même et d’avoir prise sur son passé et ses propres actions. / The present research follows George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead’s reception in the American press between 1967 and 1971. The analysis of the film’s media career shows how it progressively becomes consolidated as a public phenomenon, cult film and a work of art. The aim of the investigation is to understand by what means a film qualified by its first national review in Variety as an “orgy of sadism” becomes worthy of projection at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and the object of numerous interpretations, initiated by European critics in 1970. Night will be interpreted as a barely disguised metaphor of interior and exterior conflicts that shook the United States in the late Sixties (racial tensions, weakening of the traditional patriarchy, Vietnam War). Beyond the immediacy of its violent imagery of cannibalism, its content will be seen as socially and politically subversive. In the end, this little horror film made by some Pittsburgh-based amateurs will be integrated into United States’ cultural heritage, i.e. the national memory. This indicates that (film) critics do more than just inform their readership about new cultural releases. A journalist’s job consisting of spreading information to anonymous audiences is also an operation of mediation. By presenting Night of the Living Dead as a mirror of the American society, the critics take up the imaginary as a source for reflection on the commonly shared world. By doing so, they enable a national collectivity of a democratic society characterized by mass communication to see itself and to have control on its own history and actions.

Proměny genderových archetypů ve filmu Hořký měsíc / Bitter Moon - The transformation of gender identity ( directed by Roman Polanski)Astapencov, Neli January 2013 (has links)
The thesis deals with gender analysis in films studying metamorphoses of archetypes in film Bitter Moon directed by Roman Polanski. The methodical and theoretical sections of the thesis analyse the influence of archetype changes of film characters in gender roles. The thesis identifies and analyses mainly woman film characters appearing in some classical feminist texts, feminist film theoretical and critical articles, in some psychoanalytical works, in dramatheraphy and film science. The sources mentioned above became primary resource materials for our archetypal research. The analysis of each of the film character is focused on the most distinctive archetype with respect to its metamorphosy. Apart from the archetype research the thesis is marginaly concerned with problems linked to the female ideal and her sexuality usually portrayed in an unalterable way, and archetypal patterns are in such a way transmitted to audiences through femininity and masculinity in the context of gender roles. Keywords: archetype, Roman Polanski, Laura Mulvey, Annis Pratt, cinematic archetypal coherence, feminist film criticism, film narrative analysis, archetypal masculinity, archetypal femininity.

台灣「新電影」論述形構之歷史分析(1965-2000) / Discursive Formation of the "Taiwanese New Cinema": A Historical Analysis (1965-2000)張世倫, Chang, Shih-Lun Unknown Date (has links)
本文以藝術社會學觀點出發,將台灣「新電影」視為一藝術「群體」行動所建構之現象,並分析「新電影」之論述形構過程。
本文認為「新電影」與60年代後逐漸傳入台灣的西方「藝術」電影典範,以及「作者電影」影評之系譜間,有若干思想及美學觀方面之傳承關係,其次回溯「新電影」現象初期,支持者如何藉由電影論述與策略運用,在與各種敵對勢力之批判論爭中,建構出一套「新電影」論述,以求存續發展。
本文並分析「新電影」群體與三種「電影評鑑」機制之間的關係,這包括了「新電影」勢力難以掌握的《金馬獎》、由其主導之《中時晚報電影獎》系譜、以及「新電影」派不斷嘗試接軌的國際「藝術」電影鑑賞機制。分析結果,本文認為「新電影」派由於無法掌握《金馬獎》,便逐漸與其疏離,《中晚電影獎》此一系譜之評鑑機制則並未成功替代《金馬獎》,而「新電影」之藝術正當性來源,則是藉由國際影展策略而達成。
「新電影」派之國際影展策略,在90年代與國家機器之外交宣傳目的逐漸契合,政府態度便由80年代的消極轉為積極地藉由「輔導金」、「電影年」、及鼓勵國際影展路線等方式,來收編「新電影」勢力。「新電影」派亦藉「國際路線」漸受官方重視的脈絡,在論述及實踐上逐漸將「新電影」建構為「台灣」電影唯一存在之國際代表(representation),藉由與官方之需求達成某種程度之契合,「新電影」得到80年代以來從未有過之藝術正當性。
然而此一策略,在國家機器缺乏對電影發行及映演部門之干預下,使「新電影」逐漸在市場與美學評鑑兩個層次上,與台灣本土之脈絡產生疏離,於此同時,則是若干導演已獲得電影「作者」之地位,具有吸引國際投資之能力,但卻難以與台灣電影工業產生良性聯繫,且有淪為跨國資本「研發」單位的可能。本文在分析過「新電影」派於不同時期之各種論述策略後,最後認為除了形成一股集體力量,對台灣電影工業進行政策面之思考與改造外,「新電影派」目前之論述策略,皆不足以改變目前台灣電影業之困境。

Recepce slovenského filmu v českém tisku v období 1948 - 1969 (se zvláštním zřetelem ke zobrazení Němců) / Reception of Slovak Czech film in the Press in the period 1948 - 1969 (with special attention to the image of the Germans)Racik, Marek January 2016 (has links)
My thesis focuses on the reception of Slovak fiction film in the Czech press from 1948, the year when Slovakia started to produce their own fiction films regularly, until 1969, when the social changes after the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact troops ended the whole period. There was a notion in the Czech society that Czechoslovak film is a Czech film and the thesis focuses on this notion as it was understood by the Czech film critics. My goal is to find and explain, when and how the Czech film journalism started to recognize the differences inside the Czechoslovak film and pointed out the unique identity of the Slovak film in the Czech press. Furthermore, I examine how the Slovak film was rated by Czech film critics in the Czech film scholar press, film magazines and newspapers. The first part of the thesis examines the Czech-Slovak relations in the light of newly established Slovak fiction film. The second part focuses on the complex approach of the Czech film critical journals towards Slovak film, influenced by the state power between the years 1948 - 1960. The third part reflects the appearance of the topics concerning SNP and the so called Slovak New Wave, which lasted during two separate periods between the years 1960 - 1969.

Cinéma et expérience totalitaire : le laboratoire du genre du film de guerre dans l'Italie fasciste (1935-1943) / Cinema and the totalitarian experiment : the laboratory of the war film genre in Fascist Italy (1935-1943)Courriol, Marie-France 10 December 2015 (has links)
Cette thèse analyse les films de guerre de fiction produits dans l’Italie fasciste de 1935 à 1943, de la Guerre d’Ethiopie à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle démontre que le genre de guerre fonctionne comme un laboratoire pour l’entreprise de révolution anthropologique de l’Italie, inhérente à l’expérience totalitaire fasciste. Ce modèle cinématographique et social est en effet célébré comme devant s’étendre à l’ensemble du monde cinématographique italien, et ses caractéristiques à l’écran sont censées fournir l’image d’une société fasciste idéale.Après avoir analysé la mise en place du film de guerre italien dans ses discours, ses institutions et ses circulations internationales, ce travail examine les réponses de la production cinématographique. Il se clôt sur la perception du genre de guerre, ses spectateurs, sa réception et sa publicité. Il montre que les films de guerre de la période forment un lieu où coexistent de nombreux objectifs servant des groupes variés. Reposant en grande partie sur des archives d’Etat et de cinéastes, ce travail se concentre sur des études de cas de producteurs (Scalera, Bassoli Film), de réalisateurs (Goffredo Alessandrini, Mario Camerini, Francesco De Robertis, Augusto Genina, Romolo Marcellini, Roberto Rossellini), de scénaristes (Asvero Gravelli, Gian Gaspare Napolitano) et de réception de films particuliers. Cette étude des réponses multiples aux demandes d’un système totalitaire en formation dans le champ cinématographique entend contribuer au débat historiographique sur l’adhésion populaire au fascisme, en en élargissant les paramètres. En outre, bien que le genre joue un rôle central dans le développement de l’industrie cinématographique nationale, ce travail démontre cependant la nécessité d’interpréter ces films en termes transnationaux et non comme simples produits politiques et nationaux. / This thesis analyses the fictional war films produced in Fascist Italy from 1935 to 1943, from the Ethiopian war to the end of WWII. It argues that this genre functioned as a laboratory for the anthropological renewal of Italy in the Fascist totalitarian experiment. Fascist critics celebrated it as a cinematic and social model that had to be applied to the whole Italian film world, and whose on-screen features were to become the mirror image of an ideal Fascist society. After tracing the foundations of the Italian war film genre (critical debates, international circulation), the thesis interrogates the positioning of film professionals in relation to Fascist cultural policies. Lastly, it redefines the genre in terms of its interactions with Italian viewers and through advertisement. This thesis shows that war films of the period constitute a contested site serving multiple purposes for multiple groups. Relying primarily on archival material from Italy’s state archives and filmmakers’ private papers, this work presents several case studies of producers (Scalera, Bassoli Film), directors (Goffredo Alessandrini, Mario Camerini, Francesco De Robertis Augusto Genina, Romolo Marcellini, Roberto Rossellini), screenwriters (Asvero Gravelli, Gian Gaspare Napolitano) and reception of specific films. A study of the multiple responses to the demands of an aspiring totalitarian system, both from the point of view of film consumption and filmmaking, contributes to the historiographical debate on Fascism by broadening the parameters of the longstanding debate on popular consent for the regime. In addition, this work demonstrates the need to interpret these films in a transnational perspective and not as mere political and national products.
