E suas sombras: as inscrições guardadas nos espaços escuros da tela: interpretações e significados. Essas interpretações dão-se em torno do filme "O triunfo da vontade", de Leni Riefenstahl, lugar em que se coloca o olhar, buscando, nas transparências e opacidades da imagem, remontar os vitrais que constituem as imagens nazistas e seus valores de ordem, pureza, poder e sacralização: uma transparência controlada em luz e difusa em sombras; sugerida nas sombras e opacas na luz. Através de um caminho - os dias e os lugares em que acontece o Congresso Nazista - procuram-se as imagens latentes em construção. / Abstract: I explored interpretations for the "light" as it appears in the movies: politics and manipulations of light moments, and its shadows: interpretations and meannings. These interpretations are presented in a major production: "The triumph of will", by Leni Riefenstahl, as a counterface of Dürer's stained glasses in Nürenberg: images of order, purety, power and religious values: a ligth control and uncontrol shadows: during the Nazi Congress, 1934. / Mestrado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestre em Educação

As quatro produções selecionadas para análise são A Luz Azul (Das blaue Licht, 1932), O Triunfo da Vontade (Triumph des Willens, 1935), Olympia (Idem, 1938) e Tiefland (Idem, 1954). Embora as películas contemplem temas distintos e tenham sido produzidas com um intervalo de 22 anos, elas possuem unicidade identária em seu cerne. Esta tese percorre os contextos histórico, político e cultural, respectivamente, por meio das obras de Richard Evans (2014), Ian Kershaw (2010), Peter Gay (1978), Siegfried Kracauer (1988) e Lotte Eisner (1985); os conceitos de cultura e identidade são adotados a partir da perspectiva de Denys Cuche (1999) e Clifford Geertz (2015). Para a análise das películas, elegeu-se como metodologia o esquema quaternário de Massimo Canevacci (1990) e a binariedade proposta por Claude Lévi-Strauss (2012 e 2013). Os filmes selecionados fornecem elementos que permitem aferir o espírito do tempo na Alemanha, assim como a ideologia da diretora, que mesmo após a queda do regime nazista manteve em sua obra elementos identitários alinhados com o propósito de Hitler. / This research seeks to investigate on how Leni Riefenstahl used a modernity instrument such as cinema, to explore elements of historical romanticism in Zeitgeist, the “spirit of time” and therefore redefine the Aryan identity in his cinematographic work, as longed by Adolf Hitler. Four productions were chosen for the analysis, including: The Blue Light (Das Blaue Licht, 1932), Triumph of the Will (Triumph des Willens, 1935), Olympia (Olympia, 1938) and Tiefland (Tiefland, 1954). Although the movies contemplate different themes and were produced with an intermission of 22 years, they share an identity oneness in their core. This present thesis travels through the historical, political and cultural contexts, respectively, by means of Richard Evans’ (2014), Ian Kershaw’s (2010), Peter Gay’s (1978), Siegfried Kracauer’s (1988) and Lotte Eisner’s (1985) works; the concepts of culture and identity are adopted from the perspective of Denys Cuche (1999) and Clifford Geertz (2015). For the movies’ analysis, the methodology chosen were the quaternary scheme by Massimo Canevacci (1990) and the binarity proposed by Claude Lévi-Strauss (2012 and 2013). The selected movies provide elements that allow assess to the spirit of time in Germany, as well as the directors’ ideology, that even after the fall of the Nazi regime she kept identity elements in her works, aligned with Hitler’s purpose.

This thesis film is an overview of Nazi Germany, primarily told through the use of their own propaganda images, and structured in such a way as to make the viewer question what they think they know about the past, present, and future. This paper is a discussion of the process that went into making the film and some of the ideas connected to it that could not be brought out in the documentary.

<p>The digital evolution in the film industry has opened possibilities that was only to blockbusters before the digital age. I am talking about mass-scenes. Huge scenes with hordes of people often in huge battlefields. This was earlier in film history an extremly costly undertaking for the filmindustry and was a major reason why the large studio systems in Hollywood collapsed in the 60s. Now we can enjoy large scale battles created with CGI without costly extras, costumes and props. It’s all made with the computer and with ’blue screen’ technology. Is it possible to track the mass-scene back to some sort of origin or at least to who that defined the mass-scene ? If we look closer at mass-scenes used in contemporary movies then a clear pattern often emerges. These scenes can often be traced back to especially two propaganda films from the late 30s. Triumph des Willens by Leni Riefenstahl and Alexander Nevsky by Sergei M. Eisenstein. Of course there are others, but these two stands out from the others regarding mass-scenes. My opinion is that these two classic propaganda films have defined the mass-scenes as we have come to see and understand them in many comtemporary films from Star Wars to Lord Of The Rings.</p><p>In this thesis I will try to explore the usage of mass-scenes in comtemporary films and hopefully uncover the strong intertextual ties to Triumph des Willens and Alexander Nevsky.</p><p>I will also attempt to define the mass-scene and it’s usage in contemporary film.</p>

The film shows a portray of the Olympic Games in Berlin, occurred two years before in full Nazi regime. In this event, Adolf Hitler promoted an intense mobilization to propagate an image of Germany as a harmonious and pacific nation. But, at the same time, it also searched to demonstrate the physical superiority of the Germanic race over the other ones. It is looked, in this direction, to demonstrate as this body portrayed in this film is resulted of a series of conceptions and social political questions that gain force since the end of XIX century. From the care of itself, the popularity of sports as form to discipline body and mind to the nudist groups that had multiplied in Germany, all these movements had been absorbed and gained new meanings for the totalitarian dictatorship. Olympia shows an ideal of body and beauty unique and segregated, on behalf of which Nazis will promote the elimination of different ones by means of the Final Solution. / O presente trabalho visa o estudo histórico das significações e construções do corpo no documentário Olympia (ALE, 1938), da diretora alemã Leni Riefenstahl. O filme retrata os Jogos Olímpicos de Berlim, ocorridos dois anos antes em pleno regime nazista. Nesse evento, Adolf Hitler promoveu uma intensa mobilização para propagar uma imagem da Alemanha como uma nação harmoniosa e pacífica. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, buscou-se também demonstrar a superioridade física da raça germânica em relação aos demais. Procura-se, nesse sentido, demonstrar como esse corpo retratado no filme é resultado de uma série de concepções e questões sócio-políticas que ganham força desde o final do século XIX. Do cuidado de si, da popularização do esporte como forma de disciplinar corpo e mente aos grupos nudistas que se multiplicaram na Alemanha, todos esses movimentos foram absorvidos e ressignificados pela ditadura totalitária. Olympia mostra um ideal de corpo e beleza único e segregador, em nome do qual os nazistas vão promover a eliminação dos desviantes por meio da Solução Final.

This thesis examines how the concept of evil was understood by opposing German perspectives during the era of National Socialist rule (1933-1945). The rise of Nazism in Germany marked a period of massive political upheaval wherein the National Socialist government encouraged the masses to view the world in terms of a great struggle between forces of good and evil. This was the central theme of their propaganda, which zealously encouraged racialist beliefs in the popular consciousness, and was based on assumptions of German superiority and Jewish evil. Despite Hitler's apparent success in creating an obedient nation, a significant number of Germans opposed his rule, amongst whom a small group of writers expressed their discontent through creative fiction. Through a comparison of the worldviews communicated through political propaganda and anti-Nazi literature, it is revealed that the crux of the divide between their opposing perspectives hinged on the meaning of evil. Since evil is a concept with many meanings, this thesis approaches the subject thematically. The comparison begins by focusing on the perception of evil as an all-corrupting force that had taken hold of Germany, followed by an exploration of how power and brutality were understood, ending with a comparison of views on how the struggle between good and evil took place on both a social and individual level. In addition to demonstrating the subjectivity of moral perspective during a tumultuous period of the recent past, this research reveals how the struggle against Nazism existed as a conflict of ideas. Moreover, the comparison of cultural sources (including Nazi art, visual propaganda, written texts such as Mein Kampf, and anti-Nazi creative fiction) demonstrates the value of art as a tool for conducting historical enquiry. Since the legacy of the Third Reich continues to directly influence modern perceptions of evil, exploring how evil was understood according to contemporary Germans – from both pro and anti-Nazi perspectives – is of particular historical interest.
