À CAPES, pela concessão da bolsa de mestrado, fundamental para a realização desta pesquisa. Aos meus pais, Maria dos Anjos e Manoel, por entenderem que a diminuição do número de visitas se devia ao término dos prazos de qualificação e entrega da dissertação. Ao meu irmão Ricardo, por me ajudar sempre com algumas dúvidas gramaticais. À Eide Sandra Azevedo Abreu, por ter me incentivado a trilhar novamente o caminho acadêmico e pela ajuda inestimável na redação do projeto. Aos amigos Cléber Eduardo, Luiz Carlos Oliveira Jr. e Pedro Faissol, pelas sugestões e questionamentos feitos durante a pesquisa. Resumo: Neste trabalho investigamos em que medida o mal-estar da sociedade americana, entre 1975 e 1978, causado por uma série de acontecimentos dos anos 1970 (fim da Guerra do Vietnã, reivindicações das chamadas minorias sociais, crise da OPEP e Watergate, entre outros), foi representado em filmes comerciais, feitos dentro de Hollywood e sem maiores ambições autorais.

La Nascita Dell'eroe
Il cinema italoamericano: dalla Nuova Hollywood ai Sopranos e Quentin Tarantino Orario delle lezioni Mart. 10/12 T19 Aula Cinema Gio. 10-12 T19 Aula Cinema Ricevimento IV° PIANO Stanza 26 Martedì ore 12-13 Giovedì ore 12-13 Cose Importanti da ricordare come premessa al corso (1) - La nostra metodologia sarà in gran parte mutuata dai cosiddetti “Culture Studies” la cui data di nascita è tradizionalmente fissata alla fine degli anni Cinquanta con l’uscita dei lavori di Raymond Williams (Culture and society, 1958) e Richard Hoggart (The Uses of Literacy, 1957) e poi con la nascita del “Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS)” all’Università di Birmingham, fondato dallo stesso Hoggart nel 1968. In questa ottica i cultural studies studiano le strutture e i processi con cui le istituzioni della comunicazione di massa permettono la stabilità sociale e culturale. In pratica essi si applicano ad analizzare come la produzione dei mass media (e quindi anche del cinema) diventa parte di un sistema di pratiche per l’elaborazione della cultura (e viceversa). Cose Importanti da ricordare come premessa al corso (2) - Il che ci obbligherà a indagare alcune questione che apparentemente non hanno nulla a che fare con il cinema, per esempio sulla questioni dell’emigrazione italiana negli Usa che è alla base del cinema degli italoamericani. - Il rapporto cinema letteratura come premessa al genere del cosiddetto “gangster movie” - Il fatto che il gangster movie è diventato il genere in cui i registi di origine italiana spesso hanno dato il meglio di se stessi. Il problema dell’hyphen (o dash) - Il trattino corrisponde ad un approccio “multiculturale”, tipico degli anni Settanta che trasforma gran parte degli abitanti degli Stati Uniti in “ifenati”: ispano-americani, afro-americani, e quindi anche italo-americani.

De Palma's Scarface, Cinema Spectatorship, and the Hip Hop Gangsta As Urban Superhero
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND: DE PALMA'S SCARFACE, CINEMA SPECTATORSHIP, AND THE HIP HOP GANGSTA AS URBAN SUPERHERO Rob Prince A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2009 Committee: Donald McQuarie, Advisor Priscilla K. Coleman Graduate Faculty Representative Halifu Osumare Awad Ibrahim © 2009 Rob Prince All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Donald McQuarie, Advisor The objective of the study is to intervene in the ongoing discourse that interrogates the relationship between fictional ultraviolent film representations and real life behavior in audiences that these types of films are marketed to. Using a case study approach to apparatus and audience reception theories, the dissertation investigates the significant role Scarface, the 1983 gangster film directed by Brian De Palma, has played in influencing the cultural and social development of young African-American males who live in American inner cities. The study focuses on how the inner city portion of the Scarface audience came to self-identify themselves as “gangstas” (a Hip-hop term for gangster) and why one particular character in the film, a murderous drug dealer, has served as the gangsta role model for heroic behavior for over twenty-five years. The study found that performing the gangsta male identity emotionally satisfies these economic and socially disconnected young men and that this group viewed the violent and illegal behavior in Scarface as

OFFICIAL BALLOT You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet!
OFFICIAL BALLOT You ain't heard nothin' yet! May the Force be with you. There's no place like home. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Show me the money! American Film Institute is grateful to for their support of AFI’s ongoing celebration of the cinema centennial. Dear Juror: You have been chosen to participate in a historic moment in American film. Ten years ago, AFI invited leaders from across the film community—artists, scholars, critics and historians—to select the 100 greatest American movies of all time. It was an event designed to celebrate the cinema centennial and to catalyze a national conversation about the movies. And it worked. AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies and the annual specials that have followed continue to draw attention to the classics of American film—driving audiences to watch and re-watch the movies and stimulating discussion from the watercooler to the Internet. This year, to honor the 10th Anniversary of the AFI’s 100 Years… Series, AFI is repolling the experts and asking, “What are the greatest American films of all time? And which is the greatest?” AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies—10th Anniversary Edition will allow us to add the past decade of American films to the debate, as well as to consider a changing cultural perspective. This is a poll we will conduct every ten years across the 21st century, so now is the time to cast your vote for the decade and help AFI begin the conversation for a new generation. The celebration begins here—with you.
