  • Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs
    Extreme Art Film: Text, Paratext and DVD Culture Simon Hobbs The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 Declaration Whilst registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in this thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Word count: 85,810 Abstract Extreme art cinema, has, in recent film scholarship, become an important area of study. Many of the existing practices are motivated by a Franco-centric lens, which ultimately defines transgressive art cinema as a new phenomenon. The thesis argues that a study of extreme art cinema needs to consider filmic production both within and beyond France. It also argues that it requires an historical analysis, and I contest the notion that extreme art cinema is a recent mode of Film production. The study considers extreme art cinema as inhabiting a space between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art forms, noting the slippage between the two often polarised industries. The study has a focus on the paratext, with an analysis of DVD extras including ‘making ofs’ and documentary featurettes, interviews with directors, and cover sleeves. This will be used to examine audience engagement with the artefacts, and the films’ position within the film market. Through a detailed assessment of the visual symbols used throughout the films’ narrative images, the thesis observes the manner in which they engage with the taste structures and pictorial templates of art and exploitation cinema.

Lähdekirjallisuudesta kerättyä tietoa käsiteltiin tutkielman teoriaosuudessa, minkä jälkeen empiirinen osuus selvitti, kuinka kyseisiä menetelmiä sovelletaan käytännössä nykyenglannissa. Tämän selvittämiseksi käytiin manuaalisesti läpi korpusaineisto, joka koostui isobritannialaisen Total Film -elokuvalehden yhden vuoden aikana julkaistuista numeroista. Elokuvajournalismissa käytettävä kieli valittiin tutkimuksen kohteeksi kirjoittajan henkilökohtaisen kiinnostuksen vuoksi sekä siksi, että elokuva on paitsi merkittävä, myös jatkuvasti kehittyvä taiteen ja populaarikulttuurin muoto. Niinpä tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on myös tutustuttaa lukija sellaiseen sanastoon, jota alaa käsittelevä lehdistö nykypäivänä Isossa-Britanniassa käyttää. Korpuksen pohjalta koottu, 466 elokuva-aiheista uudissanaa käsittävä sanaluettelo analysoitiin

  • Knowing God 'Other-Wise': the Wise Old Woman
    Knowing God “Other-wise”: The Wise Old Woman Archetype in George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie and “The Golden Key” Katharine Bubel “Old fables are not all a lie/That tell of wondrous birth, Of Titan children, father Sky,/And mighty mother Earth . To thee thy mother Earth is sweet,/Her face to thee is fair, But thou, a goddess incomplete,/Must climb the starry stair. Be then thy sacred womanhood/A sign upon thee set, A second baptism—understood--/For what thou must be yet.” —George MacDonald, To My Sister A consistent occurrence within the narrative archetypal pattern of The Journey is the appearance of the Wise Old Woman, a seer, encourager and advisor to those who have responded to the Call to Adventure. Such a figure is featured prominently in several of George MacDonald’s writings, though the focus of this paper is on his children’s fairy tales, The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie, and“The Golden Key.” Since the Journey is a psychological one toward spiritual wholeness, for MacDonald, I borrow from Jungian theory to denote the Wise Old Woman as a form of anima, or female imago, who helps to develop the personality of the protagonist. But to leave things there would not encompass the sacramental particularity and universal intent of MacDonald’s fantasy: for the quest is ultimately a sacred journey that every person can make towards God. As Richard Reis writes, “If in one sense [MacDonald’s] muse was mythic- archetypal-symbolic, it was, in another way, deliberately didactic and thus ‘allegorical’ in purpose if not in achievement” (124).

BUDOR THE WAY THEY HAVE SEX IS TO CUDDLE, THEN THIS STRANGE ECTOPLASM BY KATHY NOBLE Kathy Noble met with Dora Budor —an artist of Croatian origin based in New York—to discuss the influence of cinema on her work, interweaving the staged fiction of film with lived experience: ranging from cyberpunk and symbiogenesis, to the endless worries and politics of being a human body and mind, via physical scars, infection, illness, ageing, the survival of our psyche, and the body’s lymphatic relationship to physical environments—all of which manifest in Budor’s work. Discussing ideas related to science fiction —from the disturbing visions of David Cronenberg, to popular Hollywood blockbusters—they consider cinema as a space in which alternative worlds can be constructed to form a social commentary that addresses contemporaneous issues and anxieties; from ecological apocalypse to the evolution of artificial intelligence. And situated this in a wider consideration of the affect of conscious and unconscious fantasy in relation to “real” experience. Opposite - Mental Parasite Retreat 1, 2014.

  • The Cultural Traffic of Classic Indonesian Exploitation Cinema
    The Cultural Traffic of Classic Indonesian Exploitation Cinema Ekky Imanjaya Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies December 2016 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract Classic Indonesian exploitation films (originally produced, distributed, and exhibited in the New Order’s Indonesia from 1979 to 1995) are commonly negligible in both national and transnational cinema contexts, in the discourses of film criticism, journalism, and studies. Nonetheless, in the 2000s, there has been a global interest in re-circulating and consuming this kind of films. The films are internationally considered as “cult movies” and celebrated by global fans. This thesis will focus on the cultural traffic of the films, from late 1970s to early 2010s, from Indonesia to other countries. By analyzing the global flows of the films I will argue that despite the marginal status of the films, classic Indonesian exploitation films become the center of a taste battle among a variety of interest groups and agencies. The process will include challenging the official history of Indonesian cinema by investigating the framework of cultural traffic as well as politics of taste, and highlighting the significance of exploitation and B-films, paving the way into some findings that recommend accommodating the movies in serious discourses on cinema, nationally and globally.
