  • New Constructions of House and Home in Contemporary Argentine and Chilean Cinema (2005-2015)
    New Constructions of House and Home in Contemporary Argentine and Chilean Cinema (2005-2015) Paul Rumney Merchant St John’s College August 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. New Constructions of House and Home in Contemporary Argentine and Chilean Cinema (2005 – 2015) Paul Rumney Merchant This thesis explores the potential of domestic space to act as the ground for new forms of community and sociability in Argentine and Chilean films from the early twenty-first century. It thus tracks a shift in the political treatment of the home in Southern Cone cinema, away from allegorical affirmations of the family, and towards a reflection on film’s ability to both delineate and disrupt lived spaces. In the works examined, the displacement of attention from human subjects to the material environment defamiliarises the domestic sphere and complicates its relation to the nation. The house thus does not act as ‘a body of images that give mankind proofs or illusions of stability’ (Bachelard), but rather as a medium through which identities are challenged and reformed. This anxiety about domestic space demands, I argue, a renewal of the deconstructive frameworks often deployed in studies of Latin American culture (Moreiras, Williams). The thesis turns to new materialist theories, among others, as a supplement to deconstructive thinking, and argues that theorisations of cinema’s political agency must be informed by social, economic and urban histories. The prominence of suburban settings moreover encourages a nuancing of the ontological links often invoked between cinema, the house, and the city. The first section of the thesis rethinks two concepts closely linked to the home: memory and modernity.

  • Global Film at Global Airlines Dina Iordanova, University of St Andrews A
    Global Film at Global Airlines Dina Iordanova, University of St Andrews Abstract: In recent years, since the introduction of individually controlled multichannel entertainment systems on-board, it has become customary to see a growing range of international cinematic selections being made available to airline passengers. The film selection is no longer dominated by Hollywood fare; average long-haul flights now feature films sourced out of Bollywood, East Asia, and Europe, as well as from other cinematic traditions—and the selection grows in size and in variety, especially on flights that bridge together far-flung parts of the world. It is an unprecedented situation—to see global cinema “live”, as it were, on board of global airlines—that turns the airlines into territories of conviviality, as no similar levels of diversity are found in the actual geographical territories of the countries where the airlines are based. Some research questions that arise in this context include: is it possible to speculate that the programme that airlines make available to audiences on long-haul flights is reflective of a specific understanding of diversity and cosmopolitanism that underwrite their choices? What message does the multifaceted and multinational entertainment menu of global airlines convey in a political context that is defined by backlash against globalisation and cosmopolitanism? Can one claim that global airlines are now one of the few platforms where global cinema is recognised and represented in its largest assortment? A “Territory” in the Air “When it comes to film distribution, countries and airlines appear all the same—as ‘territories’.” (Cousins) The screening rights of Mark Cousins’s The Story of Film: An Odyssey (2011) had sold to Finland (a country), and soon thereafter to Air Canada (an airline).

  • What Is Cinema History?
    Interior of Gaumont Cinema, Edinburgh , after fire (19 63) presented by the Early Cinema in Scotland research pro ject Welcome to Glasgow! The Early Cinema in Scotland project is proud to welcome you to the University and to the city. Over the last three years, our work on various aspects of Scottish film culture before 1927 has been shaped and sparked by our connections to other researchers around the world. The HoMER Network has been a key point of convergence and we are very happy to host its 2015 meeting. Since 2004 the HoMER Network has functioned as an international forum for researchers working in the history of moviegoing, exhibition and reception, supporting a series of conferences, events, and publications. The conference has been co-ordinated locally by Maria A. Vélez-Serna and John Caughie, in collaboration with Liesbeth Van de Vijver at Ghent University/DICIS (Digital Cinema Studies). We are very grateful to our wise and helpful conference committee: Robert C. Allen (University of North Carolina), Daniel Biltereyst (Ghent University), Pierluigi Ercole (De Montfort University), Matt Jones (De Montfort University), Jeff Klenotic (University of New Hampshire), Richard Maltby (Flinders University), Philippe Meers (University of Antwerp), Clara Pafort-Overduin (Utrecht University), John Sedgwick (Oxford Brookes University), Daniela Treveri Gennari (Oxford Brookes University) We also had the invaluable support of the Early Cinema in Scotland advisory board: Robert C. Allen, Karel Dibbets, Richard Maltby, Luke McKernan, and Kevin Rockett. Thanks to the Gilmorehill staff, Hospitality Services, the Conference and Visitors Service, Jeanette Berry, Julie Smith, Judy Barnicoat, and our volunteers. The ‘Early Cinema in Scotland, 1896-1927’ project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK), grant AH/1020535/1.

  • Introduction
    IN FOCUS: Non- Western Historiography? A Polemic Introduction by AHMET GÜRATA AND LOUISE SPENCE istory, as we know it, is full of uncertainties, insuffi ciencies, un- satisfying or partially obstructed views of the world. Scholars stretch to recover blank spaces. We strain to fi ll the gaps, to ex- plain the connections. We leap into ruptures in hopes of fi nding new approaches, details, anecdotes, and patterns of recurrence that Hwill make our descriptions fuller, more vivid, less defi cient. And we form histories that describe the world based on the knowledge we have acquired. But, of course, our knowledge of the world is never merely descriptive. Description is never ideologically or cognitively neutral. When we describe, we classify, we generalize, we impose hierarchal values. As Aijaz Ahmad and others have pointed out, to “describe” is to specify, to contain, and to produce knowledge that is “bound by that act of descriptive construction.” When we describe, we “specify a locus of meaning.”1 Media history is no different. John Patrick Leary argues in a recent Social Text article that to un- derstand the history of Venezuela’s Catia TVe would necessitate a his- tory of Caracas’s neighborhoods (many of them unmarked on maps, many of them illegal squatters’ settlements on public or private land), and their transformations since the 1950s oil boom.2 Leary stretches. He increases the variables relevant for thinking about Venezuelan tele- vision, and in doing so he moves the locus of meaning from television itself and the domestic as its site, to the transgressions intrinsic to bar- rio expansion and to attempts to build and fortify communities.

  • Cinema in Latin America
    from The Oxford History of World Cinema, ed. Geoffrey Nowell-Smith, OUP, 1996; Section 2, Sound Cinema 1930-1960, pp.427-435 Cinema in Latin America Michael Chanan COLONIAL BEGINNINGS MOVING pictures first reached Latin America with representatives of the Lumière brothers, who sent out teams around the world on planned itineraries designed to sweep up on the fascination which the new invention created everywhere; two teams went to Latin America, one to Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo and Buenos Aires, the other to Mexico and Havana. The Lumière cinematograph served as both projector and camera and men like Gabriel Veyre, who arrived in Mexico in the middle of 1896 and Cuba the following January, were also briefed to bring back scenes from the countries they visited. Hard on their heels came the Biograph men from New York and other adventurers, both gringo and European. The North Americans tended not to penetrate very far south, where European immigration was at its height, and in Argentina and Brazil the pioneers were French and Belgian, Austrian and Italian. The earliest moving images of Latin America were thus mostly taken by European immigrants or residents, possessing both the minimum expertise needed to set up a film business and the contacts in the Old World to ensure a supply for films for exhibition. The varying dates of these first films 1896 in Mexico, 1897 in Cuba, Argentina and Venezuela, 1898 in Brazil and Uruguay, 1902 in Chile, 1905 in Colombia, 1906 in Bolivia, 1911 in Peru bespeak the progressive penetration of film across the continent, for they usually follow the dates of first exhibition fairly quickly.

It links the aims and struggles of Americans making socially conscious films about racial discrimination to a broader category of image warfare known as Third Cinema. Third Cinema is generally applied to the notable proliferation of politically engaged films and revolutionary filmmaking theories developed in economically depressed and/or colonially exploited countries.

  • INTRODUCTION “An Invention Without a Future”
    INTRODUCTION “An Invention without a Future” The cinema is an invention without a future. —LOUIS LUMIÈRE, AUTHOR OF THE FIRST FILM MANIFESTO To forge oneself iron laws, if only in order to obey or disobey them with diffi culty . —ROBERT BRESSON, NOTES ON THE CINEMATOGRAPHER THE FOURTH COLUMN Manifestos are typically understood as ruptures, breaks, and challenges to the steady fl ow of politics, aesthetics, or history. This is equally true of fi lm and other moving image manifestos. Paradoxically, fi lm manifestos pervade the history of cinema yet exist at the margins of almost all accounts of fi lm history itself. An examination of this elision raises not simply the question of whether manifestos have changed the cinema (even if their existence has often been marginalized in fi lm history) but whether the act of calling into being a new form of cinema changed not only moving images but the world itself. For this proposition to make any sense at all, one cannot take moving images to be separate from the world or to be simply a mirror or refl ection of the real. Instead, one must see moving images as a constitutive part of the real: as images change, so does the rest of the world. By way of introduction to Film Manifestos and Global Cinema Cultures, I examine what exactly a manifesto is, consider the role played by manifestos in fi lm culture, offer an overview of some of the fi lm manifestos and manifesto movements covered in the book, and map out a critical model of what constitutes a fi lm manifesto and a manifesto- style of writing.
