Cette recherche naît de l’interaction entre deux idées d’Eisenstein : en 1934 il affirma qu’un film est plus résistant que le granit, mais l’année d’après il soutint qu’il n’y aucune réalité physique dans les films, que de reflets et des ombres grises. La question de ce travail est donc : un réalisateur peut il toucher son film ? Un film n’est pas un objet. La contradiction entre les deux idées d’Eisenstein peut être dépassée si les films commencent à être étudiés au-delà de l’analogie “ombre-granit”, sans des mots qui chosifient les images. Si chaque image peut être étudiée en tant que partie intégrante d’un film, si chaque film peut être considéré comme un corps visuel suggérant des questions et devenant une matière de la pensée visuelle, alors les idées d’Eisenstein ne peuvent pas seulement exprimer la force physique d’un film, mais aussi un outil qu’un réalisateur peut développer pour modeler son œuvre : les ombres et les éclairages. La question peut être redéfinie : comment un réalisateur pourrait-il toucher son film ? Comment un film pourrait-il proposer des questions à propos de sa forme visuelle et de son interaction avec les forces physiques qui essaient de le modeler ?Cette étude n’impose pas de définition dogmatique sur le modelage, mais elle essaie d’approfondir trois chemins : la création par le biais des éclairages et des obstacles visuels dans les films de Bergman avec l’actrice Harriet Andersson ; le modelage et le problème de la pesanteur des corps dans certaines œuvres de Ford et Hitchcock ; les parcours du modelage pour exprimer la durée des corps humains (les yeux de Vera Miles) ou extrahumains (la désagrégation des coings à cause de la lumière). / This research is brought about by the interaction between two ideas Eisenstein wrote : in 1934 hestated that a film is stronger than granite, but the next year he maintained there is no physical reality in films, only reflections and grey shadows. So, the question of this work is : can a film director touch his film? A movie is not an object. Contradiction between the two Eisenstein ideas isapparent and can be overcome if films begin to be studied beyond “shadow-granite” analogy,without any words that compel an image to be a thing.On the contrary, if every image can be studied as an integrating part of a film, if each movie can be considered as a visual body which suggests some questions and which becomes a material of visualthought, then Eisenstein ideas can express not only the physical force of a film, but also oneinstrument a director can develop to touch and to model his film: shadows and lights.Consequently, the question can be redefined : how could a director touch his film? How could afilm propose some questions about its visual form and about its interaction with physical forces that try to model it ?This study does not impose a dogmatic definition about film modelling, it tries to examine threemodelling paths thoroughly : film creation by lights and visual obstacles in Bergman movies withthe actress Harriet Andersson ; film modelling and the problem of force of gravity on the bodies insome works by Ford and Hitchcock ; finally the ways to model movies by expressing duration ofhuman (the modelling of the eyes of Vera Miles) or extra-human bodies (Victor Erice film creationand disintegration of the fruits of a quince-tree because of the light)

Based on theorists like Hall, Bauman and Dubar among others, the extent and the relevance of the process of identification will be discussed as well as its influence on the viewer experience. The filmography of director Alfred Hitchcock is in fact the key part for problematizing and considering the relation between Identity and Cinema, since Hitchcock had a unique narrative style and a specific mise-en-scène. The definitions of Identity, the importance of the act of identifying to film for cinema appreciation and other matters will be debated. The selected movies for the study are Rope (1948) and North by Northwest (1959), pictures that bring a variety of identification possibilities, including the possibilities of feeling innocent or guilty. Using theorists like Baecque, Martin, Xavier, Mauerhofer, Munsterberg, Metz and Lacan – about psychology and psychoanalysis – the diverse experiences of the audience will be clarified, as well as an analysis of the viewers’ positions, of the relation between reality and representation, besides the problematization of Cinema experimentation itself. / Levando em consideração as linhas de pesquisa do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguagem, Identidade e Subjetividade da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, no qual este trabalho foi idealizado, busca-se aqui tratar do tema da Identidade e de sua relação com as práticas culturais, estreitando a pesquisa a uma delas: a do Cinema. Com base em teóricos como Hall, Bauman, Dubar, dentre outros, a amplitude e a relevância do processo de identificação serão discutidas, assim como sua influência na experiência do espectador. A inspiração inicial para a problematização e reflexão sobre a relação entre cinema e identidade parte da obra do diretor Alfred Hitchcock, distinta por seu estilo narrativo e por uma mise-en-scène particular. Tratando, inicialmente, de algumas definições de identidade, o trabalho discutirá a importância do ato de se identificar para a apreciação da obra e como este processo se dá, então, em filmes específicos do diretor – Festim Diabólico (1948) e Intriga Internacional (1959) – em razão das diversas possibilidades de identificação, dentre elas a da inocência e da culpa. Citando teóricos do cinema como Baecque, Martin, Xavier, Mauerhofer, Munsterberg, Metz e sobre a psicologia e a psicanálise, como, Jacques Lacan, para esclarecer as faces da experiência do público, busca-se uma análise do processo de identificação do espectador, tratando também da relação entre realidade e representação e da problematização da experiência cinematográfica em si.

Cette thèse vise à apporter un éclairage philosophique sur l'œuvre cinématographique d'Alfred Hitchcock. Plus spécifiquement, il est question d'envisager les phénomènes esthétiques et narratifs afin d'évaluer la pertinence de ses films en matière de morale. Pour ce faire, nous proposons un travail en quatre étapes : tout d'abord, il faut prendre le temps nécessaire pour consolider les fondements théoriques de l'exégèse. La première partie s'efforce donc de mettre en place les éléments principaux pour la connaissance de son œuvre, du contexte de production et de ses caractéristiques les plus pertinentes. Par la suite sont envisagés les apports théoriques et conceptuels des critiques dans la filiation de laquelle se situe ce travail : la politique de réhabilitation d'Hitchcock opérée par les Cahiers du cinéma porte ses fruits aujourd'hui encore, malgré la nécessité de dépasser leur approche spiritualiste. Ainsi, cette thèse se veut leur héritière, tout en revendiquant l'utilité de perspectives alternatives comme celles de Robin Wood ou de William Drummin. Le second moment se propose d'entrer dans la diégèse hitchcockienne et d'analyser le plus justement possible les particularités du monde fictionnel créé à travers la cinquantaine de films constituant le corpus. Cette étude met en valeur l'idée d'un pessimisme latent qui se manifeste à travers une contingence ambivalente, une menace de la fatalité, une ambiguïté des fin heureuses, et une critique presque généralisée des institutions. La représentation des personnages n'est pas plus heureuse dans la mesure où l'antagonisme traditionnel méchants / bons est faussé par un manque d'héroïsme des protagonistes et une sympathie récurrente des vilains, dont la mise en scène particulièrement ambiguë favorise un rapport non conventionnel de la part des spectateurs. La troisième partie tente de dépasser cette inquiétude généralisée en montrant que les ressources personnelles des protagonistes, associées à leur rencontre parfois traumatisante avec le monde les amène à rendre possible une certaine éthique des rapports humains. Le couple engagement / dévouement est au centre de ce développement, permettant de mettre en avant la possibilité d'une évolution des personnages : d'une amoralité initiale, résultat d'une hostilité généralisée et d'un égoïsme primaire, ils peuvent prétendre au statut de véritables héros, porteurs ou représentants de valeurs et de vertus liées à l'altruisme et à l'acceptation du monde. Enfin, le dernier mouvement propose une étude de la réception, dont le but est de comprendre la position spectatorielle. Pour ce faire, nous analysons les procédés permettant le partage des expériences, afin de parvenir au concept de « vicarialité » qui semble le plus à même de décrire la forte implication et la conscience de soi qui résulte de l'esthétique hitchcockienne. Le moment final est centré sur la constitution du jugement moral du spectateur et sur la pertinence de cette œuvre dans la vie éthique du public. / This thesis aims at bringing a philosophical perspective on Alfred Hitchcock's cinematographic work. More specifically, we intend to consider the aesthetic and narrative phenomenons in order to value the moral relevance of his films. To do this, we suggest a four stage work : firstly, one needs to take the time to strengthen the theoretical basis of the exegesis. The first part strives to introduce the main elements to for a proper study of his work, its context of production and its most relevant features. After this non exhaustive glance, we'll address the conceptual and theoretical contribution of the critics in the filiation whose approach we share. The politics of Hitchcock's rehabilitation by the Cahiers du cinéma still bears fruits today, despite the necessity to exceed their spiritualist approach. Therefore, this thesis claims the inheritance while calling upon different critics, likes William Drummin or Robin Wood. The second moment investigates Hitchcock's diegesis in order to analyse as correctly as possible the features of this fictional universe created through the fifty or so films of the corpus. What emerges from this study is the idea of a latent pessimism which shows itself through an ambivalent contingency, a fatality threat, ambiguity of the happy endings and an almost generalized criticism of the institutions. The character's presentation is not happier inasmuch as the traditional antagonism villains / good people is corrupted by a lack of heroism from the protagonists and a recurrent sympathy from the villains, the mise en scène of which leads to an unconventional connection with the spectator. The third part tries to exceed this widespread anxiety by showing that the protagonists' personal resources, associated with their (sometimes traumatizing) encounters with the world leads them to make a certain ethics of human relationships possible. The pair engagement / devotion is at the centre of this development and allows us to point up the possibility of an evolution of the characters: from an initial amorality resulting from a general hostility and a primary egoism, they can pretend to become real heroes, bringing or exemplifying values and virtues linked to altruism and acceptance of the world. The last step offers a study of the reception of the films; the aim is to understand the spectatorship's position. To do this, we analyse the processes leading to the sharing of the experiences, in order to reach the concept of “vicariality”, which seems the most suitable to describe the strong implication and the self-consciousness resulting from the hitchcockian aesthetics. The final moment is centred on the constitution of the moral judgement of the spectator and on the contribution of Hitchcock's work on the moral life of the spectators.

CineScrúpulos es una revista digital que recopila los trabajos desarrollados por los alumnos en la clase de Historia del Cine de la Facultad de Comunicaciones de la UPC. El curso no pretende brindar una visión historicista del cine repleta de fechas, nombres de directores, títulos de películas y lugares exóticos, sino que intenta evidenciar la linealidad casi genética que es intrínseca al quehacer fílmico, una tradición que no solo se repite sino que se reinterpreta en distintos escenarios y en distintos momentos. Porque se entiende que el cine es, ante todo, la herencia permanente de lo que se ha hecho antes. Los textos de la revista CineScrúpulos han sido elaborados por los alumnos, profesores y colaboradores de la Facultad de Comunicaciones de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. Las imágenes utilizadas han sido obtenidas de distintas páginas web y el uso de las mismas se inscribe en lo estrictamente académico y divulgativo. / La presente edición de CineScrúpulos rinde homenaje a la obra de uno de los más grandes innovadores y revolucionarios directores de cine de todos los tiempos: Luis Buñuel. A 30 años de su muerte se hace una revisión exhaustiva de su obra para encontrar referentes en un director más contemporáneo como David Lynch. Asimismo, descubrimos a Álex de la Iglesia bajo la sombrilla de Alfred Hitchcock y luego regresamos al Perú para preguntarnos si somos capaces de construir un cine de género con sabor nacional. Pero antes damos un vistazo a la cartelera del segundo semestre de 2012, la misma que ha estado salpicada de algunas buenas películas y de otras que prometían más de lo que dieron.

Para tanto, nos propomos à análise de três filmes emblemáticos do período, a saber: Vertigo (1958) Psycho (1960) e Marnie (1964). A geração de angústia no espectador, emoção base para a geração do suspense, localiza-se na dimensão da pulsão escópica, alimentada pela expectativa de que sejam oferecidas cenas nas quais o desejo sádico da audiência é satisfeito por uma configuração cinematográfica que elege, como componente fundamental da narrativa e do prazer do filme, imagens diretamente vinculadas ao padecimento e sofrimento da mulher.

A tese investiga a recorrência do filme Um corpo que cai (Vertigo, 1958), de Alfred Hitchcock, como esquema matricial de uma reflexão meta-artística que, tomando como objeto a própria imagem (cinematográfica, pictórica, fotográfica, digital), atravessa toda a história moderna do cinema. Depois de definir e analisar a teoria artística proposta por Vertigo, a tese verifica os desdobramentos dessa teoria em uma série de filmes realizados desde o começo da década de 1960 até os anos 2000. Dentre os filmes analisados se acham La Jetée (Chris Marker, 1962), Blow up (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966), Trágica obsessão (Obsession, Brian De Palma, 1975), Special Effects (Larry Cohen, 1984), Síndrome mortal (La Sindrome di Stendhal, Dario Argento, 1996), Estrada perdida (Lost Highway, David Lynch, 1997), A prisioneira (La captive, Chantal Akerman, 2000) e Na cidade de Sylvia (En la ciudad de Sylvia, José Luis Guerín, 2007). / The thesis investigates the recurrence of Alfred Hitchcock\'s Vertigo (1958) as the matrix scheme of a meta-artistic reflection that crosses all the modern history of cinema. It includes a series of films whose subject is the image itself (cinematographic, pictorial, photographic, as well as digital image). After defining and analyzing the artistic theory proposed by Vertigo, the thesis verifies the developments of this theory in many modern and contemporary films made since the beginning of the 1960\'s. Among the films analyzed one will find La Jetée (Chris Marker, 1962), Blow up (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966), Obsession (Brian De Palma, 1975), Special Effects (Larry Cohen, 1984), The Stendhal Syndrome (Dario Argento, 1996), Lost Highway (David Lynch, 1997), La captive (Chantal Akerman, 2000), and In the city of Sylvia (En la ciudad de Sylvia, José Luis Guerín, 2007).
