Vračanje Realnosti Vračanje Realnosti ���� �������� � �������� ����� Filmska ustvarjalnost in njena refleksija sta v zadnjih dvajsetih letih doživeli vrsto pomembnih premikov, ki so na eni strani posledica razmaha digitalnih tehnologij, na drugi pa odražajo premeščanje inventivnosti iz tradicionalnih filmskih centrov v območja, ki so še nedavno sodila na njihovo obrobje. Najbolj korenito se ti premiki odražajo v produkciji gibljivih podob, ki jo opredeljujeta izraza novi svetovni film in novi realizem. Preko analize njunih vidikov odkrivamo specifične oblike odporništva, s katerimi lahko filmska Andrej Šprah umetnost prispeva k spremembam v razmerju človeka in sveta. Andrej Šprah je filmski teoretik, pisatelj in avtor številnih esejev in razprav, v katerih raziskuje fenomene dokumentarizma in svetovnega družbeno-angažiranega filma. Njegove samostojne izdaje obsegajo študijo v knjigi Pogib in počas (Studia humanitatis, 1997), referenčno monografijo Dokumentarni film in oblast (Slovenska kinoteka, 1998), zbirko esejev o sodobnem slovenskem filmu Osvobajanje pogleda (Slovenska kinoteka, 2004) in knjigo Prizorišče odpora (Društvo za širjenje filmske kulture KINO!, 2010), ki predstavlja dokumentarni pol pričujoče raziskave novega realizma. Za svoj doprinos k domači teoriji filma je leta 2011 prejel nagrado Zlata ptica.

Jean-Luc Nancy Filmska ustvarjalnost in njena refleksija, ki se jima posveča pričujo- ča raziskava, sta v zadnjih dvajsetih letih doživeli vrsto pomembnih premikov, ki so odločilno vplivali tudi na najaktualnejša kreativna in teoretska zavzemanja. Spremembe, s katerimi se dandanes soočamo, so na eni strani posledica silovitega razmaha novih, zlasti digitalnih tehnologij, ki so se usidrale v obstoječih in prispevale k uveljavitvi novih avdiovizualnih medijev, na drugi strani pa odražajo premešča- nja inventivnosti ter inovativnosti iz tradicionalnih centrov filmske produkcije v območja, ki so še nedavno sodila na njihovo obrobje. Takšna dogajanja so odločilno vplivala tako na »geostrateško« pre- razporeditev izvorov kreativnih pobud kakor na modifikacije izhodišč samih ustvarjalnih raziskovanj. Najbolj korenito se ti tektonski pre- miki odražajo v produkciji gibljivih podob, ki jo – izhajajoč iz tradici- onalnih filmskih klasifikacij – opredeljujeta izraza novi svetovni film in novi realizem. Med odločilnimi dejavniki novih konstelacij izpostavljamo še po- sebej vznemirljiv fenomen vnovičnega in predrugačenega teoretske- ga zanimanja za družbeno realnost. Na drugi strani pa centralno problemsko torišče raziskave predstavljajo razmerja, ki jih aktualna Uvod kino-raziskave_sprah_ekonom_zamenjane_stevilke_26_01.indd 7 27.1.2012 14:45:12 kinematografska zavzemanja sklepajo z dejanskostjo. Na osnovi ana- lize teh vidikov razvijamo tezo, da se v novem svetovnem filmu skozi procese transformacije in preizpraševanja dejavnikov reprezentacije realnosti porajajo specifične zasnove odporništva, s čimer je filmu po- vrnjena legitimnost umetnosti, ki je s predlaganjem novih idej zmožna spodbuditi k neposrednemu angažmaju in tako ustvarjalno prispevati k spremembam v strukturi razmerja človeka in sveta. Poglavitni namen raziskave je razrešitev dileme, v kolikšni meri so spremembe, ki bistveno določajo novonastale stilske in kulturne for- 8 macije, vplivale tudi na ustroj tiste filmske ustvarjalnosti, ki se sooča z dejanskostjo in prikazuje stvarne osebe v njihovih okoljih na umišljeni način; na način torej, ki temelji – po opredelitvi Filmskega leksikona – »na fiktivnem, izmišljenem in posebej uprizorjenem, insceniranem do- gajanju«. Kljub prevladujočemu deležu fikcionalnosti kot osnovnemu merilu izbora obravnavanih del pa so same metode njihovih pristopov k izbranim tematikam pogosto zaznamovane z ustvarjalnim prepletom dispozitivov igranega in dokumentarnega filma. Znotraj teh, najširše zamejenih izhodišč se tako sprašujemo: ali se je v času podob, ki jih je mogoče digitalno (re)producirati, odločilno spremenila tudi nara- va same vizualne zasnove realnosti – in posledično dejavniki njene reprezentacije? V izhodišču bomo skušali odgovoriti na vprašanje, zakaj so v zgo- dovini filmske umetnosti ključni prelomni momenti – ki so jih povzro- čile bodisi tehnološke inovacije bodisi družbeno pogojevane kreativne spodbude – tako pogosto zaznamovani s preizpraševanjem, preformu- liranjem ali vnovično problematizacijo dejavnikov zaobjetja življenja »takšnega, kakršno je«, oziroma filmske reprezentacije realnosti. In tudi zakaj je prav »koeficient (ne)resničnosti« oziroma manipulaci- je tisti odločujoči dejavnik, prek katerega se izkristalizira, ali imamo v določenih zavzemanjih opraviti z »modelom« filma ali s filmsko »prakso«? »Prakso« v smislu, s katerim Jean-Louis Comolli oprede- ljuje tiste kreativne dosežke, ki so – spričo zavračanja apriornih po- menov in ustaljenih razmerij ter njihovega reproduciranja – sposobni preseči »brezoblično nekinematografsko stopnjo« mainstreamovske produkcije, ki jemlje svet za svoj model, ter se povzdigniti do stopnje Vračanje realnosti: novi realizem v sodobnem filmu kino-raziskave_sprah_ekonom_zamenjane_stevilke_26_01.indd 8 27.1.2012 14:45:12 »kinematografske oblike«, v kateri podobe sveta svobodno variirajo v pomenih in razmerjih. Obravnave navedenih aspektov in v njih zaostrenih problemskih zastavkov se lotevamo na osnovi prepričanja, da so omenjeni premiki zatresli temelje obeh izvornih filmskih pojavnih oblik – umišljenega in dejanstvenega – oziroma dveh njegovih osnovnih panog: igranega in dokumentarnega filma. V silovitosti sprememb, ki so segle do sa- mih izvorov kreacije, se je v prvem planu (znova) znašla prav njuna izjemna metodološka prepletenost. Razmerje med obema generativni- ma panogama filmske umetnosti tako dobiva poseben pomen znotraj 9 tistega segmenta ustvarjalnosti, kjer se prepletata dokumentarni in igrani dispozitiv, pri čemer nas bo zanimal predvsem status prvega v zasnovi specifičnih realnosti igranega filma.1 Pri tem ne gre le za upo- rabo distinktivnih dokumentarnih kreativnih prijemov v uprizoritve- nih praksah, temveč tudi za prevzem določenega pogleda, za zasnovo filmskega dogodka na način, ki zamaje ustaljena predstavna razmer- ja. Hkrati pa preseneča odkritje, da je v obravnavanem obdobju za najradikalnejše pristope igranega filma značilno izrazito približevanje družbeni realnosti, medtem ko dokumentarni film v njegovih najbolj progresivnih prijemih zaznamuje opazen odmik od neposrednega son- diranja dejanskosti. Takšen odklon je še zlasti zaznaven v tistih oblikah dokumentarnega esejizma, ki k obravnavi sveta pristopajo posredno, prek že posnetih filmskih podob, ki jih aranžirajo in vrednotijo v novih sopostavitvah. K vprašanju »realnosti«, ki je v sferi vizualnih umetnosti tesno po- vezano z dilemami reprezentacije, pristopamo

  • Anthropological Study of Folk Music in Gilan Province in Iran (Instrumental Music)
    International Journal of Social Sciences (IJSS) Vol.3, No.4, 2013 Anthropological Study of Folk Music in Gilan Province in Iran (Instrumental Music) Yaghoub Sharbatian1 Ph.D. Student of Anthropology in Pune University in India and Academic member of Islamic Azad University Garmsar Branch, Semnan, Iran John S. Gaikwad2 Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Pune, (M.S), India Received 15 February 2013 Revised 18 June 2013 Accepted 23 October 2013 Abstract: Ethno-musicology is an academic field encompassing various approaches to the study of music that emphasize its cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts instead of its isolated ‘sound’ component or any particular repertoire. The term ‘Ethno-musicology’ became common in1950, although the emergence of the field can be traced back to the late nineteenth century. Anthropological study of folk music of Gilan province, in Iran with regards to its richness and long history is the subject of this paper. Folk music of Gilan is a part of folklore since it represents the type of thoughts, feelings and behavior of Gilanian People. Nowadays, some Gilani music is on the verge of ‘getting forgotten’ The problem is not only the loss of a kind of music but it is feared that this change will cause another change in thinking and behavior, Therefore, the task is to identify, document and analyze Gilani folk music. In this paper, Informal interview and participant observations comprise the methods of data collection. Functional theory has been used for analysis. Keywords: Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, Iran, Gilan Province, functional theory, instrumental music. Introduction Ethno-musicology is an academic field encompassing various approaches to the study of music that emphasize its cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts instead of its isolated ‘sound’ component or any particular repertoire.

  • Turkish & Arab Makams Music Theory For
    Turkish & Arab Makams Music Theory For OUD 1 ΘΕΩΡΙΑ & ∆ΑΚΤΥΛΟΘΕΣΙΑ ΓΙΑ ΟΥΤΙ [Συλλογή και επεξεργασία του υλικού των κειµένων : Βαγγέλης Κατσούλας / Πηγή : www .udeclipse.com ] 2 History of the Oud 1. The Term 'ud 2. Early History 3. Description 4. Models of the 'ud 5. Performance and Aesthetics 6. Study of the 'ud 1. The Term 'ud Literally, 'ud means 'twig', 'flexible rod' or 'aromatic stick', and by inference 'piece of wood'. In Ibn Khaldun (14th century), 'ud denoted the plectrum of the lute called barbat . The etymology of the word has occasioned numerous commentaries, among them Farmer's alluring thesis that the Arabs adopted the term to differentiate the instrument, with its wooden sound-table, from the similar Persian barbat , whose belly is covered with skin. But this can no longer be defended. The choice of the term 'ud depends on a discursive form of Arab thought which required some other word to define the barbat before the 'ud (the same applies to all the instruments of the emergent Islamic world): in this system of ideas, one term refers beck to another or is glossed by yet another, leading to a multiplicity of terms. As the sanj is described as a wanj , the buq as a qarn , the duff as a tar , the 'ud becomes a synonym of the barbat . The skin-wood difference was not taken into account. This play of reference is clear as stated by the 10th-century Andalusian writer, Ibn 'Abd Rabbihi: 'the 'ud is the barbat '. Other writers, such as Ibn Sina and Ibn Khaldun, included the 'ud under the heading of ' barbat ' when speaking of its characteristics.

TRANSLATOR'S NOTE ON MUSIC IN EELATION TO EMOTION. " WHOSOEVER is harmonically composed delights in harmony; which makes me much distrust the symmetry of those heads which declaim against all Church-Musick. For my own part, not only from my obedience but my particular Genius, I do embrace it: for even that vulgar and Tavern-Musick, which makes one man merry, another mad, strikes in me a deep fit of devotion and a profound contemplation of the First Composer." This is the confession of Sir Thomas Browne, and in that confession races the farthest apart join. The influence of music on the soul, the emotions it stirs, the fears and hopes it excites, all peoples, all climates, all ages have known.

  • Art and Politics of the Iranian New Wave Cinema, 1960-79 Farbod Honarpisheh
    Fragmented Allegories of National Authenticity: Art and Politics of the Iranian New Wave Cinema, 1960-79 by Farbod Honarpisheh Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Farbod Honarpisheh All rights reserved Abstract Fragmented Allegories of National Authenticity: Art and Politics of the Iranian New Wave Cinema, 1960-79 Farbod Honarpisheh The New Wave (Moj-e Now), as the rather large body of “quality films” made in Iran before the 1979 revolution came to be known, forms the main thematic concern of this study. From start to end, however, this primary track of investigation is opened up to other mediums of cultural production: modernist Persian fiction and poetry, the visual arts scene, the discourse on ethnography and “folklore studies,” and the critical texts produced by public intellectuals. The second main theme coming to the fore is the intersection of the emergent “discourse of authenticity,” the Iranian intellectuals’ growing demand for “cultural rootedness,” and the production of modernist aesthetics in literature, arts, and cinema. Introduced early in the text, the idea of “modernism of uneven development” provides the theoretical frame for this project; the recurrences of the hypothesis, particularly as it pertains to a temporal divide between the city and the countryside, are discerned and analysed. The Iranian New Wave Cinema, I contend, always showed an ethnographic register, as it too was after worlds and times deemed as vanishing. This “movement” in cinematic modernism first emerged from within the documentary mode, which began to flourish in Iran from the 1960s.
