  • Down Argentine Way: Los Remakes De Películas Argentinas En Hollywood En Los Años Cuarenta1
    DOWN ARGENTINE WAY: LOS REMAKES DE PELÍCULAS ARGENTINAS EN HOLLYWOOD EN LOS AÑOS CUARENTA1 Down Argentine Way: Remakes of Argentine Films in 1940’s Hollywood ALEJANDRO KELLY HOPFENBLATTa INSTITUTO DE ARTES DEL ESPECTÁCULO RAÚL H. CASTAGNINO (UNIVERSIDAD DE BUENOS AIRES) / CONICET DOI: 10.15366/secuencias2020.51.005 RESUMEN El creciente acceso a archivos internacionales y el fortalecimiento de redes globales han llevado en los últimos años a una reconsideración de numerosos preceptos sobre los cuales se ha basado la historiografía del cine. Uno de los campos fundamentales de esta renovación ha sido el de los cines nacionales, donde las perspec- tivas comparadas y trasnacionales han desplazado la mirada hacia las dinámicas globales y a los canales de circulación en que estas se insertaron. El estudio de los remakes transnacionales configura un terreno de gran riqueza para esta renovación, ya que presenta la posibilidad de entrelazar prácticas industriales y comerciales, estrategias narrativas y transfor- maciones geopolíticas. En lo que respecta al período clásico, la preeminencia de Hollywood como nodo cen- tral de gran cantidad de transposiciones de textos internacionales hace que sea un foco ineludible al plantear investigaciones sobre estos films. Entre la multiplicidad de países que se involucraron en la práctica del remake, un caso poco considerado es el de Argentina, que, a lo largo de los años cuarenta, tuvo dos películas propias que fueron adaptadas por el cine estadounidense: Los martes, orquídeas (Francisco Mugica, 1941) y Romance musical (Ernesto Arancibia, 1947), que se convirtieron en Bailando nace el amor (You Were Never Lovelier, William A. Seiter, 1942) y Ro- mance en alta mar (Romance on the High Seas, Michael Curtiz, 1948), respectivamente.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

Bambach August 2016 © 2016 Nicholas D. Bambach. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies by NICHOLAS D. BAMBACH has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT BAMBACH, NICHOLAS D., M.A., August 2016, Film In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis discusses the increasing visibility of masculine identity in contemporary Hollywood comedies. I examine how shifting developments in economic, societal, cultural, and gender relations impacted the perception of cinematic masculinity. The men, more specifically white and heterosexual, in these films position themselves as victims and, as a result, turn to alternative outlets to ease their frustrations and anxieties. In order to broadly survey the genre of the past two decades, I focus on three consistently popular character tropes in Hollywood comedies: slackers, office workers, and bromantic friendships. All the male characters discussed throughout the thesis are plagued by their innermost anxieties and desires that compromise their gendered identities. However, these films resort to a regressive understanding of masculinity and functions within the dominant heteronormative structures. This thesis demonstrates how Hollywood comedies present a contradictory and multifaceted image of modern masculinity.
