Publication Series of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna Eva Blimlinger, Andrea B. Braidt, Karin Riegler (Series Eds.) Volume 19 On the Publication Series We are pleased to present this new volume in the publication series of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. The series, published in cooperation with our highly committed partner Sternberg Press, is devoted to central themes of con­ temporary thought about art practices and art theories. The volumes in the series comprise collected contributions on subjects that form the focus of dis­ course in terms of art theory, cultural studies, art history, and research at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and represent the quintessence of international study and discussion taking place in the respective fields. Each volume is pub­ lished in the form of an anthology, edited by staff members of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Authors of high international repute are invited to write con­ tributions dealing with the respective areas of emphasis. Research activities such as international conferences, lecture series, institute­specific research focuses, or research projects serve as points of departure for the individual volumes. With Putting Rehearsals to the Test: Practices of Rehearsal in Fine Arts, Film, Theater, Theory, and Politics we are launching volume nineteen of the series. The book presents the results of a research process that has been conducted at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in close cooperation between two depart­ ments/studios: Modern and Postmodern Art Theory Professor Sabeth Buchmann, and Constanze Ruhm, head of Digital Media Studio, have been dealing with the topic of “rehearsal” in many different formats, from many different approaches and with great dedication. Curator Ilse Lafer, who is coeditor of this volume, has also been instrumental in conceiving the exhibition that has been prepared in parallel to the publication of this volume, and which took place at VOX-­ Centre de l’image contemporaine, Galerie Leonard & Bina Ellen—Université Concordia, and SBC Galerie d’art contemporain, Montreal, from September to mid December, 2016. This volume spans a broad arch from fine arts to theater, from politics to theory to film. And it presents artworks contributed by Silke Otto­Knapp, former head of the Figurative Painting studio at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and now professor at UCLA, which in a pronounced way points toward one of the central hypothesis of this book: that the practices of rehearsal not only prove to be productive fields of scholarly inquiry, they are imminent to the practices of art and thus art practices in themselves. We thank the editors of this volume, Sabeth Buchmann, Constanze Ruhm, and Ilse Lafer, for bringing together this wide range of expertise, and for their continued work on the rehearsal. Their commitment to this book project was tremendous. We thank—as always—all the partners contributing to the book, especially Sternberg Press.

It is against this background that this publication—as part of an ongoing research­based project that branches out into film screenings and lecture programs1 as well as, most recently, the format of an exhibition— investigates the role as well as the function of the notion of “rehearsal,” un­ derstood as a methodology, a modus operandi, a medium, a site of represen­ Rehearsals tation and reflection for artistic production processes, and as an instrument of critique of institutional power relations. The impossibility of distinguishing between rehearsal and performance—a to the Test specific feature of the so­called post­dramatic theatre2—appears as an anal ogy to certain practices existing in an area of conflict between so­called individual/ fine arts and collective/performing arts: these practices oftentimes lean toward narrativizing as well as staging artistic events going beyond a rigid category of “artwork.” As Annemarie Matzke has shown in her instructive book Arbeit Introduction am Theater: Eine Diskursgeschichte der Probe3 and in her essay “Contingency and Plan,” published in this reader, formats of rehearsals seek to debunk the embeddedness of art into the social division of labor: “In other words, the way Sabeth Buchmann, rehearsals are conducted in the theater says something about the society in Ilse Lafer, and which this theater is made.”4 Constanze Ruhm Since this is true for other genres and media as well, the topos of rehearsal also inscribes itself into seemingly static formats such as drawing and paint­ ing—as Christine Lang points out in the case of Diego Velázquez’s The Spinners, or The Fable of Arachne (1655–60), and as Silke Otto­Knapp shows in her etching series “The Common Reader” (2015). It achieves this by turning the canvas, the paper, and/or the printing plate into the (performative) medi­ um, where the artistic labor process merges with the activity and/or work as the subject of representation. Regarding this condition, artists, activists, and theorists working with and on strategies of rehearsal focus on moments of contingency within (pre­)existing systems and schemes in order to debunk their mutual function of establish­ ing and transforming social divisions of labor that correspond with the reci­ procity of cementation and subversion of power relations. Therefore, Matzke 1 “Putting Rehearsals to the Test” was the 2 See Hans-Thies Lehmann, Das title of a series of seven evenings, Postdramatische Theater (Frankfurt am including screenings, performances, Main: Verlag der Autoren, 1999). discussions, and lectures at the mumok, 3 Annemarie Matzke, Arbeit am Theater: Vienna, with a concluding conference Eine Diskursgeschichte der Probe hosted by the Academy of Fine Arts (Bielefeld: transcript, 2012).

  • Complete Stories by Franz Kafka
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka Back Cover: "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • Ancient Greek Myth and Drama in Greek Cinema (1930–2012): an Overall Approach
    Konstantinos KyriaKos ANCIENT GREEK MYTH AND DRAMA IN GREEK CINEMA (1930–2012): AN OVERALL APPROACH Ι. Introduction he purpose of the present article is to outline the relationship between TGreek cinema and themes from Ancient Greek mythology, in a period stretching from 1930 to 2012. This discourse is initiated by examining mov- ies dated before WW II (Prometheus Bound, 1930, Dimitris Meravidis)1 till recent important ones such as Strella. A Woman’s Way (2009, Panos Ch. Koutras).2 Moreover, movies involving ancient drama adaptations are co-ex- amined with the ones referring to ancient mythology in general. This is due to a particularity of the perception of ancient drama by script writers and di- rectors of Greek cinema: in ancient tragedy and comedy film adaptations,3 ancient drama was typically employed as a source for myth. * I wish to express my gratitude to S. Tsitsiridis, A. Marinis and G. Sakallieros for their succinct remarks upon this article. 1. The ideologically interesting endeavours — expressed through filming the Delphic Cel- ebrations Prometheus Bound by Eva Palmer-Sikelianos and Angelos Sikelianos (1930, Dimitris Meravidis) and the Longus romance in Daphnis and Chloë (1931, Orestis Laskos) — belong to the origins of Greek cinema. What the viewers behold, in the first fiction film of the Greek Cinema (The Adventures of Villar, 1924, Joseph Hepp), is a wedding reception at the hill of Acropolis. Then, during the interwar period, film pro- duction comprises of documentaries depicting the “Celebrations of the Third Greek Civilisation”, romances from late antiquity (where the beauty of the lovers refers to An- cient Greek statues), and, finally, the first filmings of a theatrical performance, Del- phic Celebrations.

I had not worked with Dr. Hagemann before this process; she took a chance on me by becoming my advisor. I thought that I would be unable to pursue an honors thesis. By being my advisor, she made this experience possible. Her interest and dedication to my work exceeded my expectations. My thesis greatly benefited from her input. Thank you, Dr. Hagemann, for your generosity with your time and genuine interest in this thesis and its success. Thank you to Dr. Fitz Brundage for his helpful comments and willingness to be my second reader. I would also like to thank Dr. Michelle King for her valuable suggestions and support throughout this process. I am very grateful for Dr. Hagemann and Dr. King. Thank you both for keeping me motivated and believing in my work. Thank you to my roommates, Julia Wunder, Waverly Leonard, and Jamie Antinori, for being so supportive. They understood when I could not be social and continued to be there for me. They saw more of the actual writing of this thesis than anyone else. Thank you for being great listeners and wonderful friends. Thank you also to my parents, Joe and Krista Brady, for their unwavering encouragement and trust in my judgment. I would also like to thank my sister, Mahlon Brady, for being willing to hear about subjects that are out of her sphere of interest.

    The Educated Spectator: Cinema and Pedagogy in France, 1909-1930 Casiana Elena Ionita Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Casiana Elena Ionita All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Educated Spectator: Cinema and Pedagogy in France, 1909-1930 Casiana Elena Ionita This dissertation draws on a wide range of sources (including motion pictures, film journals, and essays) in order to analyze the debate over the social and aesthetic role of cinema that took place in France from 1909 to 1930. During this period, as the new medium became the most popular form of entertainment, moralists of all political persuasions began to worry that cinematic representations of illicit acts could provoke social unrest. In response, four groups usually considered antagonistic — republicans, Catholics, Communists, and the first film avant- garde known as the Impressionists — set out to redefine cinema by focusing particularly on shaping film viewers. To do so, these movements adopted similar strategies: they organized lectures and film clubs, published a variety of periodicals, commissioned films for specific causes, and screened commercial motion pictures deemed compatible with their goals. Tracing the history of such projects, I argue that they insisted on educating spectators both through and about cinema. Indeed, each movement sought to teach spectators of all backgrounds how to understand the new medium of cinema while also supporting specific films with particular aesthetic and political goals. Despite their different interests, the Impressionists, republicans, Catholics, and Communists all aimed to create communities of viewers that would learn a certain way of decoding motion pictures.

  • Casting Couch
    The Casting Couch The ‘casting couch’ scenario: Impact of perceived employment benefit, reporting delay, complainant gender, and participant gender on juror decision-making in rape cases. Shona Mcintosh and Josh P Davis Department of Psychology, Social Work and Counselling, University of Greenwich, UK Correspondence to: Dr Josh P Davis Reader in Applied Psychology School of Human Sciences University of Greenwich London, SE10 9LS, UK [email protected] Keywords Casting couch, Jury decision making, juror decision making, rape myths, sexual assault Thanks To Bethan Burnside and Katy Weatherley for help with this project. 1 The Casting Couch Abstract Recent media reports of contemporary and historical rape and sexual assault cases have focused on the entertainment industry, particularly around the notion of the ‘casting couch’. This scenario in which a powerful figure obtains sexual acts from subordinate actors in exchange for employment was used to explore the influence of rape myths and Sexual Economic Theory on mock-juror decision-making. Participant-jurors (n = 907) viewed video and written testimony of a male or female complainant, accusing a male producer of rape. Delay before reporting the incident to the police (immediately, six months, ten years), and whether the complainant secured the acting role or not were varied. Females (79.7%) were significantly more likely than males (62.7%) to deliver a guilty verdict and to recommend longer prison sentences. When the complainant did not secure the acting role, and they delayed reporting the incident for six months, there was a trend for guilty verdict rates to be slightly higher when the complainant was male (80.5%) than female (64.5%).
