Mbpiredietab March 1986 Page 8 Daily Nebraskan Tuesday, 11, O n Ernie1 ILdHJLMJLMtCJl. n n mb piredietab sun, beautoify By Charles Lieurance Senior Reporter Considering Woody Allen's popular- ity, it's amazing he's been able to keep his filmmaking territory all to himself. After all, his neurotic, paranoid New Yorker persona isn't registered at the patent office. Any bright college philo- sophy major with a keen wit has the ability to turn the texts of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Hegel and Schopenauer inside-ou-t by applying them to the real f, world. The average person's concern with greater metaphysical questions end when they become accountants or .J piano tuners, for sanity's sake. Allen lias applied his deceptively formulaic approach to any number of genres since 19G!); science fiction ("Sleeper"), the Neil Simon-typ- e comedy ("Play it again, Sam"), film noir ("Broadway Danny Rose"), fantasy ("The Purple Rose of Cairo") and most recently, the domestic melodrama, "Hannah and Her Sisters." Movie Review Allen does more than just parodies, which saves him from being an overly sentimental version of Mel Brooks. Allen knows too much to slide over the surface of a genre and he's too cynical to take even his romantic nihilism too seriously. For awhile it was "hip" to be like Woody Allen, to be an intellectual, vulnerable male with all your salary invested in psychoanalysis. Now, in the age of Rambo, Allen has taken the emphasis off himself in his of films.

Modules: LCM-MA-M5.3 (Literatur-, Kultur-, und Mediensoziologie) ab 4; Medienkultur-MA-2.2 (Medienanalyse Ton Audiovision) ab 4; Medien und Gesellschaft-MA-2.2 (Medienanalyse Ton Audiovision) ab 4; M-PEB-Diplom-A3 (Medienanalyse AV) (ab 4); AmL-5 (Medien: Theorie, Geschichte, Praxis) ab 4; ENG-GHR-M5.2 (Texte und Medien) ab 4; ENG-GYM- M9a.8 (Textsorten und Medien) ab 4; ENG-BK-M6.1 (Texte und Medien) ab 4. Maximum number of participants: 50 Short description: »It's not that I'm afraid to die,« Woody Allen once told a journalist, »I just don't want to be there when it happens«. This statement, quizzical and absurd as usual, ties in with another aphorism, reportedly the first Allen joke to be published: »I am two with Nature.« Until this very day, Woody Allen is one of the most prolific and renowned artists that America has generated in the 20th century. Receiving his first Emmy Award for a script for the Ed Sullivan Show as early as 1957, Allen has since won four Oscars, the O. Henry Award for the best short story in 1977, as well as numerous other prizes in the U.S. and Europe. What makes Allen’s work, which encompasses comedies, dramas, expressionist films and acting roles as well as literary works, so unique and so influential? This course will deal with the central themes and motifs negotiated in Allen’s oeuvre – black humor, psychology, Jewishness, New York City, human relationships, and the absurdities of (post)modern life.

  • Jewish Experience on Film an American Overview
    Jewish Experience on Film An American Overview by JOEL ROSENBERG ± OR ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE long history of Jewish sacred texts, it is fair to characterize film as the quintessential profane text. Being tied as it is to the life of industrial science and production, it is the first truly posttraditional art medium — a creature of gears and bolts, of lenses and transparencies, of drives and brakes and projected light, a creature whose life substance is spreadshot onto a vast ocean of screen to display another kind of life entirely: the images of human beings; stories; purported history; myth; philosophy; social conflict; politics; love; war; belief. Movies seem to take place in a domain between matter and spirit, but are, in a sense, dependent on both. Like the Golem — the artificial anthropoid of Jewish folklore, a creature always yearning to rise or reach out beyond its own materiality — film is a machine truly made in the human image: a late-born child of human culture that manifests an inherently stubborn and rebellious nature. It is a being that has suffered, as it were, all the neuroses of its mostly 20th-century rise and flourishing and has shared in all the century's treach- eries. It is in this context above all that we must consider the problematic subject of Jewish experience on film. In academic research, the field of film studies has now blossomed into a richly elaborate body of criticism and theory, although its reigning schools of thought — at present, heavily influenced by Marxism, Lacanian psycho- analysis, and various flavors of deconstruction — have often preferred the fashionable habit of reasoning by decree in place of genuine observation and analysis.
