  • Summaries: Charles J
    1 Gilles Deleuze – The Deleuze Seminars (deleuze.cla.purdue.edu), summaries: Charles J. Stivale Cinema: The Classification of Signs and Time, November 2, 1982 to June 7, 1983 (23 Sessions) In the second year of Deleuze's consideration of cinema and philosophy, he commences the year by explaining that whereas he usually changes topics from one year to the next, he feels compelled to continue with the current topic and, in fact, to undertake a process of "philosophy in the manner of cows, rumination... I want entirely and truly to repeat myself, to start over by repeating myself." Hence, the 82-83 Seminar consists in once again taking up Bergson's theses on perception, but now with greater emphasis on the aspects of classification of images and signs drawn from C.S. Peirce. This allows Deleuze to continue the shift from considering the movement-image, that dominated early 20th century cinema, toward a greater understanding of the post-World War II emphasis on the time-image. Cinema 2.1 - November 2, 1982 After defining at length his conception of the new Seminar – exceptionally (for Deleuze) on the same topic as previously – in terms of a “rumination” on many of the topics and concepts discussed in 1981-82, Deleuze also proposes to maintain (indeed, to strongly request) a seminar of reduced size but provides no viable means by which students would “choose” to go to some other philosophy class. However, in response to his opening remarks on course reorganization, Deleuze devotes nearly an hour several students’ questions and objections, most notably discussing the notion of “speaking” (in a class, in society) as well as its dangers.

  • Metaphysics – Transcendence – Atheism
    "IMAGES" 2021, Vol. XXX, No. 39 METAPHYSICS – TRANSCENDENCE – ATHEISM A product of the nineteenth century, the cinematic arts were born to capture the very material reality present in front of the lens. Erwin Panofsky called this reality “profilmic,” while André Bazin argued that recording the existence of material objects on film fulfilled what he called mankind’s “mummy complex,” the desire to immortalize fleeting entities in the form of images. With time, film outgrew this initial function and began making attempts to depict spiritual realities as well (with films by Carl Theodor Dreyer, Ingmar Bergman, Andrei Tarkovsky, Krzysztof Zanussi, and other artists). First coined by American director and film theorist Paul Schrader to describe the work of Dreyer, Bresson, and Ozu, the phrase “transcendental style” (itself a misnomer, as the term “transcendent style” would be much more fitting here) was soon picked up by fellow authors, who used it to interrogate the transcendent in the work of the three aforementioned directors and other filmmakers (vide: Seweryn Kuśmierczyk’s essay on Tarkovsky and the rich body of literature written on the director). A counterstrain, however, coalesced around neoformalist and cognitivist David Bordwell, who contended that the particular “parametric form,” its style autonomous and autotelic, compelled critics to seek within it a metaphysics that he did not believe could be found in the work of Ozu, Dreyer, or Bresson—a position he elaborated on extensively in his monographs on the work of the former two and essays on films by the latter. Recent Bresson scholarship (vide: Colin Burnett’s monograph) has questioned the validity of this “Schraderian” option even further.

    Lesbianism and the Uncanny in Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla Sergio Ramos Torres Trabajo de Fin de Grado en Estudios Ingleses Supervised by Constanza del Río Álvaro Diciembre 2016 Universidad de Zaragoza 0 Contents Introduction 2 1. The vampire in literature and popular culture 5 1.1 Female vampires 10 2. Lesbianism and the uncanny in Carmilla 13 2.1 Contextualisation 13 2.2 Lesbianism and the Uncanny in Carmilla 16 Conclusion 23 Works Cited 25 1 Introduction The figure of the vampire has been present in most cultures, and the meanings and feelings these supernatural creatures represent have been similar across time and space. For human beings they have been a source of fear and superstition, their significance acquiring religious connotations all over the world. The passing of time has modified this ancient horror and the myth has changed little by little, most of the time being softened, giving birth to diverse conceptions and representations that differ a lot from the evil spawn – originating in myth, legend and folklore – that ancient people were afraid of. These creatures have been represented not as part of the human being, but as a nemesis, as the “other”, and as something that is dead but, at the same time, alive, threatening the pure existence of the human by disrupting the carefully constructed borders that civilization has erected between the self and the other, the human and the animal, between life and death. They are, like Rosemary Jackson said, “our relation to death made concrete” (68) and thus, they “disrupt the crucial defining line which separates real life from the unreality of death” (69).

  • 2. the Slow Pulse of the Era: Carl Th. Dreyer's Film Style
    2. THE SLOW PULSE OF THE ERA: CARL TH. DREYER’S FILM STYLE C. Claire Thomson Introduction The very last shot of Carl Th. Dreyer’s very last film, Gertrud (1964), devotes forty-five seconds to the contemplation of a panelled door behind which the eponymous heroine has retreated with a wave to her erstwhile lover. The camera creeps backwards to establish Dreyer’s valedictory tableau on which it lingers, immobile, for almost thirty seconds: the door and a small wooden stool beside it. The composition is of such inert, grey geometry that, in its closing moments, this film resembles nothing so much as a Vilhelm Hammershøi painting, investing empty domestic space with the presences that have passed through its doors and hallways. If, in this shot, the cinematic image fleetingly achieves the condition of painting, it is the culmination of a directorial career predicated on the productive tension between movement and stillness, sound and silence, rhythm and slowness. At the end of Gertrud, where the image itself slows into calm equilibrium, we witness the end point of an entropic career. As Dreyer’s film style slowed, so, too, did his rate of production. The intervals between his last four major films – the productions that write Dreyer into slow cinema’s prehistory – are measured in decades, not years: Vampyr (1932), Vredens Dag (Day of Wrath, 1943), Ordet (The Word, 1955), Gertrud (1964).1 Studios were reluctant to engage a director who made such difficult films so inefficiently or, rather, made such slow films so slowly. The fallow periods between feature films, however, obliged Dreyer to undertake other kinds of work.

Aşağıda, bu büyük sinemacı ile «Chaiers du Cinema» derglsın­ den Michael Delahaye'in 1965 te yaptığı bir söyleşinin çevirisini sunuyoruz. CAHIERS : Filminiz her şeyden çok yaşam ile bir anlaşma, neşeye doğru bir gelişme biçiminde görünüyor.

  • Reviews of Dreyer's VAMPYR [Taken from the Amazon.Com Web Page for the Movie; Remember That for the Most Part These Reviewers Are Not Scholars]
    Reviews of Dreyer's VAMPYR [taken from the amazon.com web page for the movie; remember that for the most part these reviewers are not scholars] Editorial Reviews Amazon.com In this chilling, atmospheric German film from 1932, director Carl Theodor Dreyer favors style over story, offering a minimal plot that draws only partially from established vampire folklore. Instead, Dreyer emphasizes an utterly dreamlike visual approach, using trick photography (double exposures, etc.) and a fog-like effect created by allowing additional light to leak onto the exposed film. The result is an unsettling film that seems to spring literally from the subconscious, freely adapted from the Victorian short story Carmilla by noted horror author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, about a young man who discovers the presence of a female vampire in a mysterious European castle. There's more to the story, of course, but it's the ghostly, otherworldly tone of the film that lingers powerfully in the memory. Dreyer maintains this eerie mood by suggesting horror and impending doom as opposed to any overt displays of terrifying imagery. Watching Vampyr is like being placed under a hypnotic trance, where the rules of everyday reality no longer apply. As a splendid bonus, the DVD includes The Mascot, a delightful 26-minute animated film from 1934. Created by pioneering animator Wladyslaw Starewicz, this clever film--in which a menagerie of toys and dolls springs to life--serves as an impressive precursor to the popular Wallace & Gromit films of the 1990s. --Jeff Shannon Product Description: Carl Theodor Dreyer's eerie horror classic stars Julian West as a visitor to a remote inn under the spell of an aged, bloodthristy female vampire.
