Underground (1995) Y Gato Negro, Gato Blanco (1998), Dos Importantes Obras Históricas Del Maestro Emir Kusturica
José María Caparrós Lera 791.44.071.1:929 Kusturica E. https://doi.org/10.18485/ai_most.2017.ch1 Universidad de Barcelona [email protected] UNDERGROUND (1995) Y GATO NEGRO, GATO BLANCO (1998), DOS IMPORTANTES OBRAS HISTÓRICAS DEL MAESTRO EMIR KUSTURICA Esta ponencia es una valoración artística de las dos películas con las que el maestro Emir Kururica cerró el siglo XX, pues el más importante cineasta serbio establece con Underground (1995) y Gato negro, gato blanco (1998) un original puente entre la literatura, la historia y la cinematografía. Asimismo, Kusturica ofrece un análisis metafórico sobre la evolución de un país diezmado, al tiempo que realiza un agudo estudio de mentalidades populares y del mundo gitano, un tanto deudor de otros maestros del cine -como él mismo reconoce-, pero sin dejar de tener su propia personalidad creadora. Palabras clave : Emir Kusturica, ex-Yugoslavia, gitanos, metáforas, in#uencias fílmicas. Aunque por razones de salud no he podido participar per- sonalmente en el Congreso Internacional Cientí$co Andrić- grad (2016) organizado por el Departamento de Literatura, еl Departamento de Orientalística y el Departamento de Histo - ria del Instituto Andrić en Višegrad (República Srpska), bajo el título El puente en la literatura, la historia y la cinematogra - fía , me gustaría estar de algún modo presente con mi valora- ción crítica de sendas películas del maestro Emir Kusturica, Director del Instituto Andrić; dos obras importantes con las que cerró el siglo XX. 8 José María Caparrós Lera 1.

The Storied Yugoslavia
THE STORIED YUGOSLAVIA: A DIALOGUE OF MYTHISTORY, POWER, AND STORIED YUGOSLAV NATIONAL CONTEXT IN IVO ANDRIĆ’S THE BRIDGE ON THE DRINA (1945/1959) AND EMIR KUSTURICA’S UNDERGROUND (1995) MILANA M. BODIROGA A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES YORK UNIVERISTY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2013 © Milana M. Bodiroga, 2013 ii Abstract This thesis examines a dialogue between two texts meant to contribute to the mythistory (Aleksić, 2007) and what I term the storied context of the second Yugoslav Experiment (1945-1995). From within the lens of my own diasporic context, I juxtapose Ivo Andrić’s novel The Bridge on the Drina (1945/1959), published at the nation’s outset, against Emir Kusturica’s film Underground (1995), produced at Yugoslavia’s failing end. I analyze the thematic connections and ideological constraints to the conversation between these two texts by establishing the parameters of both Kusturica’s successful and unsuccessful attempts to engage Andrić’s novel. A template for the continued overlaying of “discrepant voices” (Said, 1993) is revealed for further examination both backward into the mythistories of the Southwest Slavs of the Balkans and forward into the construction of storied contexts in the former Yugoslav states. Finally, a discussion of the influence of the West’s own imaginary of the former Yugoslavia and its influence of contextualizing stories of the same is also examined. iii Table of Contents Abstract………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..i Table of Contents…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………ii Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..1 Who I Am ................................................................................................................................................. 5 Telling Me Who I Am ..............................................................................................................................
