  • “Al-Tally” Ascension Journey from an Egyptian Folk Art to International Fashion Trend
    مجمة العمارة والفنون العدد العاشر “Al-tally” ascension journey from an Egyptian folk art to international fashion trend Dr. Noha Fawzy Abdel Wahab Lecturer at fashion department -The Higher Institute of Applied Arts Introduction: Tally is a netting fabric embroidered with metal. The embroidery is done by threading wide needles with flat strips of metal about 1/8” wide. The metal may be nickel silver, copper or brass. The netting is made of cotton or linen. The fabric is also called tulle-bi-telli. The patterns formed by this metal embroidery include geometric figures as well as plants, birds, people and camels. Tally has been made in the Asyut region of Upper Egypt since the late 19th century, although the concept of metal embroidery dates to ancient Egypt, as well as other areas of the Middle East, Asia, India and Europe. A very sheer fabric is shown in Ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. The fabric was first imported to the U.S. for the 1893 Chicago. The geometric motifs were well suited to the Art Deco style of the time. Tally is generally black, white or ecru. It is found most often in the form of a shawl, but also seen in small squares, large pieces used as bed canopies and even traditional Egyptian dresses. Tally shawls were made into garments by purchasers, particularly during the 1920s. ملخص البحث: التمي ىو نوع من انواع االتطريز عمى اقمشة منسوجة ويتم ىذا النوع من التطريز عن طريق لضم ابر عريضة بخيوط معدنية مسطحة بسمك 1/8" تصنع ىذه الخيوط من النيكل او الفضة او النحاس.واﻻقمشة المستخدمة في صناعة التمي تكون مصنوعة اما من القطن او الكتان.

  • Giovanna Franci Università Di Bologna
    Giovanna Franci Università di Bologna Ambigue identità Al giorno d’oggi, nel mondo della moda, è abbastanza comune lo scambio di ruoli sessuali. Fra donne mascolinizzate, o androgine, e uomini effeminati con indosso abiti femminili, il gioco del travestimento fa parte della creatività degli stilisti. Nessuna sorpresa o scandalo è abbastanza plateale sulle passerelle delle sfilate, con furbe citazioni e abili revival che si rifanno ai periodi più interessanti della moda e del costume del passato (figure a, b). Ma ci sono stati momenti nei quali il fenomeno del travestitismo o del cross-dressing ha avuto un significato più dirompente e trasgressivo, e il personaggio femminile è stato visto, non solo come “difficile”, ma addirittura perturbante, una vera minaccia per l’universo maschile, quasi un’apocalisse. Cross-dressing è un termine abbastanza semplice per definire un insieme complesso di fenomeni, che vanno dall’indossare uno o due capi di abbigliamento fino al travestimento completo a livello burlesque, dalla impersonificazione comica fino al tentativo serio di passare al genere sessuale opposto. Seri studi psicologici sull’argomento sono iniziati già alla fine dell’Ottocento, dove si cerca di distinguere fra la masquerade e la patologia. In certi periodi e in certe culture il cross-dressing viene associato all’omosessualità (pensiamo al saggio di Krafft-Ebing Psychopathia Sexualis, del 1889, dove il lesbismo viene elencato sotto le perversioni sessuali), o semplicemente a una incursione simbolica per oltrepassare i limiti del gender. Di solito un uomo vestito da donna produce un effetto comico (questo almeno fino alle drag-queen), mentre una donna vestita da uomo risulta perturbante e produce inquietudine, se non addirittura scandalo.

  • Cobra Essay by David Shepard
    Cobra Essay by David Shepard Rudolph Valentino's first independent production, COBRA, was released less than a year prior to the actor's untimely death at age 31. It is an unusual and contradictory showcase for the actor who is remembered more than any other as the icon of irresistible sexuality in Hollywood silent film. Beleaguered by women in his native land, a promiscuous Italian Count, Rodrigo Torriani (Valentino) escapes to New York to work for an elegant antiques dealer specializing in Italian objects d’art. The ambitious young man cannot suppress the Don Giovanni within himself and he is soon embroiled in a new series of romantic entanglements with secretaries, husband hunters and extortionists. But when his best friend's new wife captures suave Torriani in her Cobra-like gaze, he reforms just in time to avoid disgrace and even death-by-fire. COBRA was made at a time when every element of the young star's professional life was controlled by his wife, Natacha Rambova. Imagining that Valentino would out-do Douglas Fairbanks in films notable for scenes of pageantry, athleticism, and derring-do, she wrote for Rudy a treatment for an enormous spectacle of medieval Spain to be called The Hooded Falcon. With proposed co-star Nita Naldi, the Valentinos traveled to that country where they spent more than one hundred thousand dollars of producer J.D. Williams’ money on Spanish antiques and props. Rambova committed for the services of other actors. Joseph Henabery, who endured Rambova’s interference with his direction of A Sainted Devil, was engaged for the same task.

FINAL DRAFT – FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 49 CONTEXT: PALM SPRINGS BETWEEN THE WARS (1919-1941) Overview This context explores the transformation of Palm Springs from a modest spa town into a luxury winter resort in the years between the First and Second World Wars. By 1918 Nellie Coffman and her sons, George Roberson and Earl Coffman, understood the town’s potential, not as a health spa for asthmatics and consumptives, but as an exclusive winter resort for the well-to-do, and set about transforming their sanatorium into the luxurious Desert Inn, one of the most renowned hostelries in the country. Their success inspired the development of two equally spectacular hotels in the 1920s and cemented the town’s growing reputation as one of the country’s premier luxury winter resorts. These were the Oasis Hotel (121 S. Palm Canyon Drive; HSPB-10), designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr. (known as Lloyd Wright) and opened in 1925 by Pearl McCallum McManus;97 and the grand Hotel El Mirador (1150 N. Indian Canyon Drive), designed by Walker and Eisen in a sumptuous Spanish Colonial Revival style and opened in 1927.98 El Mirador Hotel, photographed c. 1933. Source: Security Pacific National Bank Collection, Los Angeles Public Library. 97 The Oasis Hotel opened on a provisional basis in 1924, but the official opening was in 1925.

  • Hollywood on the Hudson Surveys New York's Role In
    HOLLYWOOD ON THE HUDSON SURVEYS NEW YORK’S ROLE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MODERN AMERICAN FILMMAKING BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS Hollywood on the Hudson: Filmmaking in New York, 1920–39 September 17 - October 19, 2008 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters New York, September 11, 2008—Hollywood on the Hudson: Filmmaking in New York, 1920- 1939, a month-long exhibition that showcases New York City’s seminal yet rarely recognized role in the establishment of the modern American film industry between the two world wars, is presented at The Museum of Modern Art, from September 17 through October 19, 2008. More than 25 feature films and many shorts, including early sound films—musicals, comedies, animated films, and documentaries—offer a survey of filmmaking in New York during the hegemony of Hollywood, from D. W. Griffith’s return from the West Coast in 1919 to the World’s Fair of 1939. Screenings include pioneering sound films shot at the Paramount Studios in Astoria, Queens, and performances by Broadway luminaries such as Louise Brooks, Marion Davies, the Marx Brothers, Gloria Swanson, and Rudolph Valentino. Hollywood on the Hudson is co-organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art; and Richard Koszarski, on whose book, Hollywood on the Hudson: Film and Television in New York from Griffith to Sarnoff (Rutgers University Press, 2008), the exhibition is based. The exhibition recalls a point during which an industry built on centralized authority began to listen, for the first time, to a range of independent voices in cinema, each with their own ideas about what the movies could say and do.

  • 1 Philip Leers Behind the Great Man
    Philip Leers Behind the Great Man Female Screenwriters and Collaborative Authorship in Early Hollywood The predominance of the auteur theory in cinema studies has been a double-edged sword, each benefit attended by a disadvantage. While it mitigated the primacy of the Hollywood system, it posited in its place the equally problematic figure of the director as the sole source of meaning-making in filmmaking. While it has brought to light a worthy list of previously unappreciated films and directors, it has also been justly criticized for reinforcing the centrality of white, male directors, and exacerbating the marginalization of other voices. And while it has provided an invaluable identificatory and analytic framework for film theorists, it has also fostered an essentialist, and often ahistorical, conception of film authorship. The cult of the male director, for instance, has obscured the remarkable contributions of female screenwriters to the early cinema. Throughout the silent era, and into the thirties, a majority of the screen’s foremost scenarists were women, with luminaries like Alice Guy Blache, Anita Loos, Elinor Glyn, Lois Weber, Francis Marion, Beulah Marie Dix, June Mathis, Jeanie MacPherson, Marion Fairfax, and Jane Murfin achieving a considerable measure of influence within the industry and celebrity without. These screenwriters constituted a network of powerful women who outnumbered their male counterparts ten to one, a ratio that was perhaps only possible in the infancy of the cinema, when filmmaking practice had not yet been consolidated under the patriarchal hierarchy of the Hollywood system. Certainly, the masculinist slant of Hollywood’s “Golden Age” and its subsequent usurping of the public interest served to efface the impact of these women on the film industry, but their prominence at a time when the narrative language of the cinema was taking shape cannot be ignored.
