  • La Frontera- the US Border Reflected in the Cinematic Lens David R
    1 La Frontera- The U.S. Border Reflected in the Cinematic Lens David R. Maciel1 Introduction The U.S.-Mexico border/la frontera has the distinction of being the only place in the world where a highly developed country and a developing one meet and interact.2 This is an area of historical conflict, convergence, conflict, dependency, and interdependency, all types of transboundary links, as well as a society of astounding complexity and an evolving and extraordinarily rich culture. Distinct border styles of music, literature, art, media, and certainly visual practices have flourished in the region. Several of the most important cultural and artistic-oriented institutions, such as universities, research institutes, community centers, and museums are found in the border states of both countries. Beginning in the late 19th century and all the way to the present certain journalists, writers and visual artists have presented a distorted vision of the U.S. - Mexican border. The borderlands have been portrayed mostly as a lawless, rugged, and perilous area populated by settlers who sought a new life in the last frontier, but also criminals and crime fighters whose deeds became legendary. As Gordon W. Allport stated: 1 Emeritus Professor, University of New Mexico. Currently is Adjunct Professor at the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE) in Mexico City. 2 Paul Ganster and Alan Sweedler.

  • PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES of the CREATIVE PROCESS Ways of Learning and Teaching Film and Audiovisual Art
    PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS Ways of learning and teaching film and audiovisual art Alain Bergala revolutionized how the art of filmmaking is taught through the concept of a "pedagogy of the creative process". Considering the widespread practice of what had been called "audiovisual literacy", that is, the acquisition of knowledge on the use of audiovisual language, Bergala advocated for a more active form of teaching, one in which viewers would have to return to that time prior to the images and the sounds, when all possibilities were still open. The paradigm shift introduced the notion that the viewer's motivation, emotion and desire could be a driving force behind learning and the possibility that viewers might potentially become creators. The seminar "Pedagogy of the creative process" aims to serve as a space for meeting and reflecting on how film and audiovisual art is taught, the starting point for which will be covered in the first session: the paradigm shift first introduced by Bergala for teaching cinema in schools. The second session will be a reflection on the role of film schools and universities in teaching cinema, from the point of view of theory and practice. In this regard, the recently inaugurated school, the Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola, marks a pivotal moment in its break with prototypical schools that typically have taken a 20th century approach to film, one being called into question today. Any reflection on teaching the creative process would hardly be complete without a consideration of the interconnections that teaching audiovisuals has made with the social sciences and critical teaching methods.

    PROGRAM ABSTRACTS FOR THE 15TH TRIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON AFRICAN ART Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium, proposed by Pamela Allara, examines the current status of Africa’s cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation?

Chairs: Barbara Thompson, Stanford University, and Gemma Rodrigues, Fowler Museum at UCLA Contemporary African art is a phenomenon that transcends and complicates traditional curatorial categories and disciplinary boundaries. These overlaps have at times excluded contemporary African art from exhibitions and collections and, at other times, transformed its research and display into a contested terrain. At a moment when many museums with so‐called ethnographic collections are expanding their chronological reach by teasing out connections between traditional and contemporary artistic production, many museums of Euro‐American contemporary art are extending their geographic reach by globalizing their curatorial vision.

  • On the History and Ideology of Film Lighting Peter Baxter During The
    Downloaded from On the History and Ideology of Film Lighting http://screen.oxfordjournals.org Peter Baxter During the 1880's, the major theatres of Europe and America began to convert their stage lighting systems from the gas which had come into widespread use in the twenty or thirty previous years to electricity. It is true that arc lighting had been installed at the Paris Opera as early as 1846, but the superior efficiency of gas illumination at the time, and the surety of its supply, had brought at Universidade Estadual de Campinas on April 27, 2010 it into prominent use during the third quarter of the century when it attained no small operational sophistication. From a single control board gas light could be selectively brightened or dimmed, even completely shut down and re-started. The theatrical term ' limelight' originally referred to a block of lime heated to incan- descence by a jet of gas, which could throw a brilliant spot of light on the stage to pick out and follow principal actors. Henry Irving so much preferred gas to electric light that he used it for his productions at the Lyceum Theatre, and achieved spectacular results, into the twentieth century, when the rest of theatrical London had been electrified for some years. But despite the mastery that a man like Irving could attain over gas lighting, for most stages it was ' strictly for visibility and to illuminate the scenery. The Victorians painted that scenery to incorporate motivated light meticulously. A window would be painted and the light coming through the window would be painted in.

The sound track (where it exists) often clashes in a disturbing manner with the other works on view in the same room. The typical cinema ar- rangement, consisting of a dark room, a film, a projection, and the audience, is so closely associated with the act of watching a film that is virtually seems like a must, and, unsur- prisingly, large, international art institutions are increas- ingly having their own cinemas built for the purpose of showing these works. The distinguished media theorist Christian Metz associates the space of the imagination, the space of pro- jection, with the present economic order: “It has often rightly been claimed that cinema is a technique of the imagin- ation. On the other hand, this technique is characteristic of a historical epoch (that of capitalism) and the state of a society, the so-called indus- trial society.”1 Scopophilia (pleasure in looking) and voyeurism are deeply inscribed in our society; in a cinema, the audience is placed at a voyeuristic distance and can unashamedly satisfy his cur- iosity.

  • These Are the Days of Our Lives
    These Are the Days of Our Lives 1.1 Synopsis These Are the Days of Our Lives is a four-hour chamber larp scenario about the lives of a group of women friends. It consists of four scenes in which the characters meet up in their late teens, late 20s, late 30s and late 40s. Between these scenes are offgame interludes in which the players choose the life events that they want to have happened to their characters during the ten-year intervening period. The scenario is soundtracked by music of the period appropriate for each scene, which serves as a timekeeper as well as setting underlying mood. The gamesmaster role is primarily that of an offgame facilitator, with minimal intervention during live scenes. The scenario is preceded by a preparatory workshop, and followed by a group debrief. 1.2 Vision The design intention of These Are the Days of Our Lives is for players to explore and experience the drama of real lives. Play should be naturalistic and expressive. It will mix comic and tragic moments, light-hearted enjoyment and serious concern and grief, in the same way that life itself does. The players will be fitting thirty years’ worth of ups and downs – in their characters’ own lives, and in their interrelationships – into a few hours of play, so it will be an emotionally intense experience which may drain or elevate. They’ll be invited to become strongly bonded as a group; and they may have reflections on their own lives as a result of what they’ve experienced in play.
