  • Film, Photojournalism, and the Public Sphere in Brazil and Argentina, 1955-1980
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MODERNIZATION AND VISUAL ECONOMY: FILM, PHOTOJOURNALISM, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE IN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA, 1955-1980 Paula Halperin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Barbara Weinstein Department of History University of Maryland, College Park My dissertation explores the relationship among visual culture, nationalism, and modernization in Argentina and Brazil in a period of extreme political instability, marked by an alternation of weak civilian governments and dictatorships. I argue that motion pictures and photojournalism were constitutive elements of a modern public sphere that did not conform to the classic formulation advanced by Jürgen Habermas. Rather than treating the public sphere as progressively degraded by the mass media and cultural industries, I trace how, in postwar Argentina and Brazil, the increased production and circulation of mass media images contributed to active public debate and civic participation. With the progressive internationalization of entertainment markets that began in the 1950s in the modern cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires there was a dramatic growth in the number of film spectators and production, movie theaters and critics, popular magazines and academic journals that focused on film. Through close analysis of images distributed widely in international media circuits I reconstruct and analyze Brazilian and Argentine postwar visual economies from a transnational perspective to understand the constitution of the public sphere and how modernization, Latin American identity, nationhood, and socio-cultural change and conflict were represented and debated in those media. Cinema and the visual after World War II became a worldwide locus of production and circulation of discourses about history, national identity, and social mores, and a space of contention and discussion of modernization.

  • Información Histórica Del Cine Argentino
    Revista de Historia Americana y Argentina, Nº 39, 2002,U.N.de Cuyo ___________________________________________________________ INFORMACIÓN HISTÓRICA DEL CINE ARGENTINO. PRIMERA PARTE: EL CINE ARGENTINO DESDE SUS COMIENZOS HASTA 1970 María Inés Dugini de De Cándido Introducción La historia del cine no puede separarse de la vida, las ideas y las pasiones de los hombres. Tampoco puede separarse de su contexto. Al estudiar sus obras y sus hombres no podemos olvidar que el cine es parte del conocimiento de nuestro país. Es un elemento de valor en el reflejo de su his- toria y sus costumbres que realmente integra su cultura. El cine es un referente de gran trascendencia, para el conocimiento o recreación histórica. Su adecuada utilización nos permite acceder a interesantes planteos de nuestra historia. Cabe destacar que un film puede o no tratar un hecho histórico pero la trama o guión nos dará una excelente pesquisa de un tiempo político, social y cultural. El cine ocupa un lugar muy importante en el panorama del arte y la cultura contemporánea, y también un instrumento pedagógico y científico en las universidades. Las películas constituyen excelentes documentos históricos, son magníficas fuentes impresas. Se pueden mencionar -además- antiguos noticieros o "actualidades" (ahora históricos), reportajes a personajes gravitantes en un momento o a personas que los han conocido, películas etnológicas, de las cuales hay abundante material en la UNESCO. Otro aspecto muy valioso constituyen las películas de reconstrucciones socio-históricas contemporáneas o no, de interpretaciones de la realidad, de políticas y de ideologías. El conocimiento que a través de un film podemos obtener, considerado como fuente impresa, vale decir el cine como laboratorio histórico.

  • Los Gauchos Judíos (1910; Translated As the Jewish Gauchos of the Pampas, 1955) Offered a Structural and Thematic Template for Works by Mactas, Alexandr, and Voloch
    CYCLING THROUGH THE PAMPAS: FICTIONALIZED ACCOUNTS OF JEWISH AGRICULTURAL COLONIZATION IN ARGENTINA AND BRAZIL A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by James A. Hussar, B.A., M.A. María Rosa Olivera-Williams, Director Graduate Program in Literature Notre Dame, Indiana March 2008 © 2008 by James A. Hussar CYCLING THROUGH THE PAMPAS: FICTIONALIZED ACCOUNTS OF JEWISH AGRICULTURAL COLONIZATION IN ARGENTINA AND BRAZIL Abstract by James A. Hussar My comparative study focuses on the negotiation of national, regional, religious, and ethnic identity in the works of four Latin American Jewish authors: Argentines Alberto Gerchunoff and Rebeca Mactas, and Brazilians Frida Alexandr and Adão Voloch. Each author uses collections of independent but interrelated short stories, or short story cycles, to fictionalize his/her experiences as a child growing up in Jewish agricultural colonies in Latin America in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. I reevaluate the literary legacy of Gerchunoff, the father of Jewish Latin American literature, by showing how his canonical Los gauchos judíos (1910; translated as The Jewish Gauchos of the Pampas, 1955) offered a structural and thematic template for works by Mactas, Alexandr, and Voloch. This work is dedicated to my parents, Kenneth and Carolyn Hussar, who were my first— and best—teachers. It is also dedicated to my wife, Beatriz, and my sons, Gabriel and Camilo, for their love and support. ii CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS................................................................................................... v INTRODUCTION............................................................................................................... 1 CHAPTER 1: LOS GAUCHOS JUDÍOS: A MODEL SHORT STORY CYCLE........... 17 1.1 What is a Short Story Cycle? ....................................................................

ABSTRACT: The British choreographer Kenneth MacMillan (1929-1992) has a prominent place in the narrative tradition of the Royal Ballet. As a major storyteller in the history of the company, his ballets with intense, dramatic stories are an important part of the dance heritage of British ballet. This thesis focuses on one of MacMillan’s first narrative achievements, the one-act ballet The Invitation (1960), and studies the main thematic concerns and stylistic strategies that it deploys.

    Rita Hjorteset TANGOFILMER - EN GENREANALYSE -nærstudie av tangofilmgenren som fenomen innen den argentinske filmindustrien Hovedoppgave i medievitenskap Institutt for medier og kommunikasjon Universitet i Oslo Våren 2007 Bilde: ”Los muchachos de antes no usaban gomina” (1937) Fra venstre: Ponce (Florencio Parravicini), Alberto (Santiago Arrieta), Faren Carlos Rosales (Martin Zabalúa), søsteren Inés Rosales (Niní Gambier), Señora Rosales (Aurelia Musto) og foloveden til søsteren (Euclides García Fuentes) Sammendrag Den argentinske tangoen gjør seg i dag gjeldende både i argentinsk og internasjonal film, noe som har vært utgangspunktet for ideen til denne oppgaven. ”Los muchachos de antes no usaban gomina” (Karene den gang brukte ikke bryl) (1937) regissert av Manuel Romero og ”Tango” (1997) regissert av Carlos Saura representerer to forskjellige eksempler fra tangofilmgenren. I denne oppgaven gjennomgås et korpus av filmer sammensatt av tre kilder i forhold til Rick Altmans 10 påstander om genre i boken Film/Genre fra1999. Tallmaterialet fra kildene danner grunnlaget for en beskrivelse av genren. De to eksempelfilmene utgjør analysens gjennomgangseksempler. Med 60 års mellomrom representerer disse filmene to forskjellige syklusepoker i genrens levetid. Filmeksemplene er beskrevet spesielt med vekt på aspekter som genrekarakteristika, genreblanding, filmhistorisk sammenheng og regissørenes rammebetingelser. De to filmene sammenlignes for derigjennom å utdype genrens utvikling gjennom syklusepokene. Tidsånden, den teknologiske utviklingen og regissørenes personlige stil bidrar til at filmene gjenspeiler store forskjeller samtidig som genrekarakteristika som arketyper, scenografi og tematikk går igjen. Rick Altmans genreteori danner bakteppe for analysen. Kildematerialet inkluderer filmer med forskjellig grad av tangoinnhold ved at tango benyttes kun som et innslag eller som tema i handlingen i filmen. Tangoen har vært en del av den argentinske filmindustrien helt fra begynnelsen av.
