  • A Propósito De La Filosofía Del Cine Como Educación De Adultos: La Lógica Del Matrimonio Frente Al Absurdo En La Filmografía De Gregory La Cava Hasta 1933
    A PROPÓSITO DE LA FILOSOFÍA DEL CINE COMO EDUCACIÓN DE ADULTOS: LA LÓGICA DEL MATRIMONIO FRENTE AL ABSURDO EN LA FILMOGRAFÍA DE GREGORY LA CAVA HASTA 1933 José Alfredo Peris Cancioa Fechas de recepción y aceptación: 2 de junio de 2015, 8 de julio de 2015 Resumen: Desde una concepción de la filosofía del cine como educación de adultos, se puede proponer que la aportación más genuina de la filmografía de La Cava a la expresión de la interrelación entre matrimonio y crisis económica se encuentra en la figura de los antihéroes. Con estos personajes, La Cava plantea tanto la necesidad que experimenta el ser humano de las sociedades industriales de remediar la angustia que le produce su propia debilidad y vulnerabilidad, como la necesidad de entablar relaciones de ayuda. Desde su participación en el cine de animación, así como en sus películas de cine mudo y en sus películas habladas, los protagonistas superan sus propias limitaciones gracias a relaciones de confianza con los demás, de las que el matrimonio igualitario y de mutua ayuda entre el varón y la mujer es el modelo más pleno. Palabras clave: matrimonio, confianza, antihéroes, vulnerabilidad, igualdad y com- plementariedad entre varón y mujer, ayuda, filosofía del cine, educación de adultos. Abstract: From a conception of philosophy of films education of grownups, it can be proposed that the most genuine contribution of the films of La Cava to the expression of the interrelation between marriage and economic crisis is found in the figure of the anti-heroes. With these characters La Cava presents both the need experienced by peo- ple in industrial societies to remedy the distress caused by his own weakness and vulner- a Facultad de Filosofía, Antropología y Trabajo Social, Universidad Católica de Valencia San Vicente Mártir.

    "7 NO. 5 The Museum of Modern Art FOR RELEASE JANUARY 14 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 955-6100 Cable: Modernart EARLY FILMS TO BE REVIVED AT MUSEUM "The Virginian," Cecil B. DeMllle's 1914 classic, from the novel by Owen Wlster, with Dustin Famun who played in the stage version, will be shown as part of a series of eleven early films to be presented from January 14 through January 25, at The Museum of Modern Art. The Jesse Lasky production of "The Virginian" will be introduced by James Card, Curator of the George Eastman House Motion Picture Study Collection in Rochester, which is providing the films on the Museum program. At the eight o'clock, January 14 performance, Mr. Card will introduce the film and address himself to the controversy over the direction of "The Virginian," one of the early silent feature films. The fact that Cecil B. DeMille directed has been in dispute over the years. On the same program with "The Virginian," another vintage film will be shown. Tod Browning's "The Unknown" starring Lon Chaney. Made in 1927, it was an original story by the director, called "Alonzo, the Armless." According to The New York Times Film Reviews, a recently published compilation of the paper's film criticism, "the role ought to have satisfied Mr. Chaney's penchant for freakish characterizations for here he not only has to go about for hours with his arms strapped to his body, but when he rests behind bolted doors, one perceives that he has on his left hand a double thumb." Joan Crawford plays the female lead in the film, about which Roy Edwards writes in Sight and Sound, the characters and special effects add up to a "thorough display of grotesqueries." Other notable films that are part of this film preservation program are "Cimarron," starring Richard Dix and made in 1931 from Edna Ferber's popular novel; "Dr.
