Introduction I believe that we live at a time when technological and cultural inventions should save the vast majority of people from unpleasant and dangerous labour, and ensure a prosperous life for everyone. I am not alone in this conviction. Eric Hobsbawm writes in his last book, ‘Our productive capacity has made it possible, at least potentially, for most human beings to move from the realm of necessity into the realm of affluence, education and unimagined life choices’ (Hobsbawm 2011: 12). Yet, these ideals, even in traditionally affluent Europe, appear further away than fifty, forty or even twenty years ago. Unemployment and poverty are growing, and the majority of those in employment are expected to work longer hours and have more years of service before being able to retire on a smaller pension than the generation of their parents. They earn less in relative terms and their work is less stable than their parents’ was, as demonstrated by the extraordinary career of the word ‘precariat’ (Ross 2003, 2008; Berardi 2009; Standing 2011), which blends ‘precarious’ and ‘proletariat’. Young people are especially affected, with the highest level of unemployment, lowest wages and level of security, and the smallest chance, even for those with graduate education, to enter so-called professions. A desire to understand and assess this paradox lies at the root of this book. I wanted to explore whether there was ever a golden age for work and, if so, did it feel that way then, and when, why and how has the situation changed, and again, how was it experienced ‘on the ground’: in factories, offices and places where information is processed and art created? Because I regard film as a privileged medium for registering and commenting on changes in society and their subjective meaning, I decided to seek answers by examining cinema in conjunction with histories and theories of work. The fact that my initial assessment of the social reality was critical and that the book argues in favour of overthrowing the current system affected my choice of films and concepts. I turned to Marxist theories and films that lent themselves to Marxist analysis. I chose Marx for two reasons. First, I regard his criticism of capitalism, as well as that of state socialism – which I treat as a version of capitalism – as still valid, and even more convincing now than forty or fifty years ago. Marxist thought is thus a perfect tool to conduct the ideological critique that is one of the main goals of my study. The second reason is, as Hobsbawm notes, quoting This open access edition has been made available under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, thanks to the support of Knowledge Unlatched. 2 . FROM SELF-FULFILMENT TO SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST Jacques Attali, ‘the universal comprehensiveness of his thought. It is not “interdisciplinary” in the conventional sense but integrates all disciplines … Philosophers before him have thought of man in his totality, but he was the first to apprehend the world as a whole which is at once political, economic, scientific and philosophical’ (ibid.: 12). I am not alone in finding Marx both comprehensive and contemporary. My study should be regarded as one of a number of recent attempts to revive Marxist thought in film studies and cultural studies at large, along with works such as The Politics of Contemporary European Cinema: Histories, Borders, Diasporas (Wayne 2002), Afflicted Powers: Capital and Spectacle in a New Age of War (Boal et al. 2005), Neoliberalism and Global Cinema: Capital, Culture and Marxist Critique (Kapur and Wagner 2011) or Music and Marx (Burckhardt Qureshi 2002), which refer to Marxist thought explicitly or through intermediaries. As this project proved very wide, I had to be selective, both in relation to the aspects of films singled out for close analysis and the choice of films.

  • JEANNE MOREAU: NOUVELLE VAGUE and BEYOND February 25 - March 18, 1994
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release February 1994 JEANNE MOREAU: NOUVELLE VAGUE AND BEYOND February 25 - March 18, 1994 A film retrospective of the legendary French actress Jeanne Moreau, spanning her remarkable forty-five year career, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on February 25, 1994. JEANNE MOREAU: NOUVELLE VAGUE AND BEYOND traces the actress's steady rise from the French cinema of the 1950s and international renown as muse and icon of the New Wave movement to the present. On view through March 18, the exhibition shows Moreau to be one of the few performing artists who both epitomize and transcend their eras by the originality of their work. The retrospective comprises thirty films, including three that Moreau directed. Two films in the series are United States premieres: The Old Woman Mho Wades in the Sea (1991, Laurent Heynemann), and her most recent film, A Foreign Field (1993, Charles Sturridge), in which Moreau stars with Lauren Bacall and Alec Guinness. Other highlights include The Queen Margot (1953, Jean Dreville), which has not been shown in the United States since its original release; the uncut version of Eva (1962, Joseph Losey); the rarely seen Mata Hari, Agent H 21 (1964, Jean-Louis Richard), and Joanna Francesa (1973, Carlos Diegues). Alternately playful, seductive, or somber, Moreau brought something truly modern to the screen -- a compelling but ultimately elusive persona. After perfecting her craft as a principal member of the Comedie Frangaise and the Theatre National Populaire, she appeared in such films as Louis Malle's Elevator to the Gallows (1957) and The Lovers (1958), the latter of which she created a scandal with her portrayal of an adultress.

Both great victories over communism, impossible according to rational assessment, were won by our ancestors because a well-informed minority could overcome long-lasting weaknesses of the nation, wake it up from a lethargy and bring Poles together around fundamental values. The faces of people gathered on 15 August 1981 in Ossów look very attentive. The oldest of them must still remember the horror and joy from over sixty years ago. Several dozens photos stored at the IPN Archive show tens of people standing next to the monument of Father Ignacy Skorupka, which was rebuilt at the times of Solidarity, after it had been destroyed by communists. Father Wacław Karłowicz, who was thirteen in 1920, is delivering a speech. Next to him, an elderly man in an uhlan uniform is standing at attention ‒ he enlisted as a seventeen-year-old in the Volunteer Army of General Józef Haller. It was quite similar in summer 1981 in Płock, where a fourteen-year-old defender of the city, Antoni Gradowski was commemorated, and in so many other places of victory over Bolshevism.

  • ABSTRACT WHAT IF YOU're LONELY: JESSICA STORIES By
    ABSTRACT WHAT IF YOU’RE LONELY: JESSICA STORIES by Michael Stoneberg This novel-in-stories follows Jessica through the difficulties of her early twenties to her mid- thirties. During this period of her life she struggles with loneliness and depression, attempting to find some form of meaningful connection through digital technologies as much as face-to-face interaction, coming to grips with a non-normative sexuality, finding and losing her first love and dealing with the resultant constant pull of this person on her psyche, and finally trying to find who in fact she, Jessica, really is, what version of herself is at her core. The picture of her early adulthood is drawn impressionistically, through various modes and styles of narration and points of view, as well as through found texts, focusing on preludes and aftermaths and asking the reader to intuit and imagine the spaces between.

Abstract The “Solidarity” movement, especially in the first period of its activi- ty, that is, in the years 1980-1981, instigated numerous myths. Polish cinema contributed immensely to their creation and prolifera- tion. The most important among those myths were: the myth of soli- darity between all working people, the myth of solidarity between the genders, and – perhaps the most lasting of all – the myth of the alli- ance between workers and intellectuals. All these forms of solidarity really existed for a short period of time in 1980/1981, but each of them collapsed afterwards. Consequently, one can say that they bore

    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.
