Einleitung Maske ist ein vielschichtiges Wort. Es kann einerseits als ein Objekt gedacht werden, im Sinne des Verkleidens, andererseits als ein Subjekt. Mit Maske kann man also nicht nur den Gegenstand an sich meinen, sondern auch den Maskenträger bzw. die Person dahinter. Spricht man hier von einer Maske, wird diese mit der Person als Ganzes bzw. mit dem Gesicht des sogenannten Maskenträgers gleichgesetzt. Sie wird nicht als etwas Gegenständliches verstanden und spielt in ihrer Funktion der Verhüllung des Gesichts eine eher untergeordnete Rolle. Um den hier verwendeten Maskenbegriff besser verstehen zu können, soll auf dessen Entstehungsgeschichte und Bedeutung eingegangen werden. Liest man nun den Titel der Arbeit: „Die dokumentarische und filmische Figur von Bob Dylan der 60er Jahre“, wird deutlich, auf wen sich das Maskenspiel bezieht. Untersuchungsgegenstand sind zwei Dokumentarfilme über Bob Dylan. DONT LOOK BACK1 wurde während der Englandtournee 1965 von Don Alan Pennebaker gedreht und dokumentiert die letzte akustische Solo-Tour. Der Film wurde am 17. Mai 1967 im Presidio Theater in San Francisco das erste Mal vorgeführt. Ebenso ist die Tatsache von Bedeutung, dass Bob Dylan und sein damaliger Manager Albert Grossmann auf D.A. Pennebaker, einem bekannten Vertreter des Direct Cinemas, zugingen und ihn für diesen Film beauftragten. Somit ist dem Film eine gewisse Public Relation Strategie zu unterstellen, die dazu dienen sollte, den Sänger einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich zu machen. Durch den kommerziellen Erfolg der Dokumentation, konnte sich Pennebaker einen Namen im Filmbusiness schaffen und konzentrierte sich infolgedessen auf Porträts von bekannten Musikern. Der zweite analysierte Dokumentarfilm ist EAT THE DOCUMENT2, der Bob Dylan bei seiner ersten elektrisch verstärkten Tour mit Band im Mai 1966 in England zeigt. Erneut kam Pennebaker zum Kameraeinsatz. Jedoch arbeitete er diesmal unter Bob Dylan, welcher in Zusammenarbeit mit Howard Alk, der ebenso filmte, den Film schnitt. Die Änderung der Musikrichtung von Folk zu Folk-Rock bahnte sich bereits in DONT LOOK BACK an, wurde jedoch gänzlich mit dem Film EAT THE DOCUMENT vollzogen. Ebenso bilden die Reaktionen seiner entrüsteten Fans, die diese Veränderung als einen Verrat ansahen, einen Kernpunkt. Die Dokumentation war als Teil für die ABC-Fernsehreihe „stage 67“ gedacht 1 DONT LOOK BACK, Regie, Schnit, Kamera: D. A. Pennebaker, DVD-Video, Pennebaker-Hegedus-Films 2006; (Orig. Dont Look Back, USA 1967) 2 EAT THE DOCUMENT, Regie, Schnitt: Bob Dylan, Howard Alk; Kamera: D.A. Pennebaker, Howard Alk; DVD-Video 2003; (Orig. Eat The Document, USA) 1 und wurde bereits in das passende Format fürs Fernsehen gebracht, inklusive Markierungen für vorgesehen Werbepausen. Allerdings kam es nie zu einer Ausstrahlung, da der Sender Probleme mit der eigenwilligen, experimentierfreudigen Umsetzung von Bob Dylan hatte. „Dylan wasn’t very interested in the concert footage, or even in what was going on in real life in between; he was mostly interested in set-up scenes full of visual jokes and surreal happenings, filmed in hotel rooms and the like, as in the shaky sequence of people pouring out of a wardrobe.“3 1971 wurde die Dokumentation das erste Mal in der Academy of Music in New York und im Whitney Museum of American Art vorgeführt, jedoch mit mäßigen Erfolg. Seit 2003 zirkuliert in der Bob Dylan Fangemeinde eine unautorisierte DVD-Veröffentlichung des Films, allerdings in sehr schlechter Qualität. Zu kommerziellen Erfolg kamen Ausschnitte aus EAT THE DOCUMENT durch die Verwendung des Materials von Martin Scorsese für seine Dokumentation NO DIRECTION HOME über Bob Dylan, welche 2005 veröffentlicht wurde. Beiden Dokumentationen dient eine Konzerttour durch England als Grundgerüst der Erzählung, jedoch gibt es Unterschiede in der Umsetzung. Der auffälligste Gegensatz: DONT LOOK BACK ist in grobkörnigem Schwarz-Weiß und EAT THE DOCUMENT in Farbe gedreht. Der Fokus der Aufnahmen liegt bei beiden aber nicht in dem Konzertmaterial, welches Bob Dylan on-stage beim Performen seiner Songs zeigt, sondern er liegt meist off- stage, in Hotelräumen, oder in Bewegung von einem Ort zum anderen. Demnach ist Bewegung ein grundlegendes

Senza le visioni di questi fotografi, non avremmo occhi per guardare la musica. Si può ascoltare e “ca- pire” Jimi Hendrix senza vedere la sua Stratocaster in fiamme sul palco di Monterey, fissata per sempre da Ed Caraeff? O intuire fino in fondo la deriva amara di Janis Joplin senza il crudo bianco e nero di Jim Marshall che ce la mostra affranta con l’inseparabile bottiglia di Southern Comfort in mano? Nasce così l’immaginario collettivo del rock, legato anche a centinaia di co- pertine di dischi. In questa mostra sfilano almeno una dozzina di classici: dagli album d’esordio di Crosby Stills & Nash e di Stephen Stills in solitario a Morrison Hotel dei Doors, The Kids Are Alright degli Who, al primo disco americano dei Beatles per l’etichetta VeeJay, Hejira di Joni Mitchell, Surre- alistic Pillow dei Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead di Jerry Garcia e compa- gni, Genius Loves Company di Ray Charles, Stage Fright della Band di Robbie Robertson, Desperado degli Eagles e Hotter Than Hell dei Kiss. Il tempismo è tutto. Soprattutto trovarsi come per miracolo all’inizio di qualcosa, ad una magica intersezione col destino che può cambiare la vita di entrambi, fotografo e fotografato.

  • Matrices of 'Love and Theft': Joan Baez Imitates Bob Dylan

This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi: 10.1017/S1478572221000013 Matrices of ‘Love and Theft’: Joan Baez Imitates Bob Dylan MIMI HADDON Abstract This article uses Joan Baez’s impersonations of Bob Dylan from the mid-1960s to the beginning of the twenty-first century as performances where multiple fields of complementary discourse con- verge. The article is organized in three parts. The first part addresses the musical details of Baez’s acts of mimicry and their uncanny ability to summon Dylan’s predecessors. The second con- siders mimicry in the context of identity, specifically race and asymmetrical power relations in the history of American popular music. The third and final section analyses her imitations in the context of gender and reproductive labour, focusing on the way various media have shaped her persona and her relationship to Dylan. The article engages critical theoretical work informed by psychoanalysis, post-colonial theory, and Marxist feminism. Introduction: ‘Two grand, Johnny’ Women are forced to work for capital through the individuals they ‘love’. Women’s love is in the end the confirmation of both men’s and their own negation as individ- uals. Nowadays, the only possible way of reproducing oneself or others, as individuals and not as commodities, is to dam this stream of capitalist ‘love’–a ‘love’ which masks the macabre face of exploitation – and transform relationships between men and women, destroying men’s mediatory role as the representatives of state and capital in relation to women.1 I want to start this article with two different scenes from two separate Bob Dylan films.

  • Freewheelin-On-Line Take Twenty Two
    Freewheelin-on-line Take Twenty Two Freewheelin’ 220 There can be no question: it is a cinematic masterpiece; a milestone in the history of moving images. I am talking about Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy , and, despite the multiple endings to the final part of the trilogy - ‘The Return of the King’ - nothing is lost when you consider the totality of the project. I couldn’t thus resist from having that half-man, half-beast and totally schizophrenic creature Gollum in the fore ground of this month’s cover. It seems that another king is going to return in 2004. It will be 50 years ago next year, in 1954, that Elvis sauntered into the studio and recorded ‘That’s All Right’ which many consider to be the big bang of rock and roll. So expect the usual anniversary celebrations and reports of sightings of the King by shepherds on hillsides and wise men from the north. My sighting of Elvis is taken from the famous 1963 screen print of the legend by Andy Warhol. For every king there must be a queen and who else but Marilyn could equal the iconic status of Elvis? This collage is taken from a study by the artist Mimmo Rotella, completed in 1962, a year of Marilyn’s death. Whilst Elvis is trying to gun Gollum down and Dylan looks inquisitively at the unheavenly creature, Marilyn just wants to take him home and cover him in kisses. Diamonds may be easily had and they may be a girl’s best friend but, for a Steptoe Senior loookalike who prefers thongs to Y-fronts, there’s nothing quite like a search of middle-earth for a golden ring to complete your set.
