Può essere praticata una ricerca etnomusico- logica che si ponga l’obiettivo di comprendere i meccanismi compositivi, le forme e le formule musicali, il senso e l’efficacia emotiva trasversali di una realtà così smisurata e “distante” quale è quella della musica (anzi, dell’intero apparato dei suoni) per il cinema mainstream di Hollywood, in quanto centro produttivo mondiale di questa potentissi- ma industria culturale? È legittima un’attenzione rivolta alla creazione e alla distribuzio- ne (ma quindi alla ricezione) di un imponente magazzino di prodotti culturali che non si limiti a compierne l’inventario o l’analisi tecnica, ma che ambisca alla sua compren- sione in chiave antropologico-culturale? Si può dunque indagare sulla portata di cui esso è capace nel contribuire a determinare l’immaginario degli uomini nel mondo contem- poraneo, a plasmare la loro sensibilità, a fornire strumenti più o meno consapevoli della loro costruzione interpretativa del mondo, del loro “ascolto” delle relazioni sociali, della narrazione delle vicende personali e sociali veicolate dalla musica? Negli anni ’40 del XX secolo, nel periodo segnato dal secondo conflitto mondiale, in America prese piede una nuova via nella ricerca antropologico-culturale, che di fatto ap- parve come l’altra faccia della medaglia del metodo della ricerca sul campo condotta attra- verso la prassi dell’osservazione partecipante, messo a punto non molto tempo prima ma già allora divenuto predominante. Questa nuova via fu definita “antropologia a distanza”, o meglio, “studio a distanza della cultura”, come recita il titolo di una significativa sintesi metodologica curata da Margaret Mead e da Rhoda Métraux1 a ridosso della guerra. A sua volta essa aveva alle spalle una serie di circostanze storiche segnate da radicali divisioni politiche, nei casi più drammatici da veri e propri conflitti (“caldi” o “freddi”) e costituì il caso forse più clamoroso di una tendenza all’impegno diretto nella realtà da parte degli antropologi, di quelli almeno che sentirono il bisogno di misurarsi in una prospettiva de- finita con l’etichetta di “antropologia applicata”. Anche se la genesi di questa tendenza è piuttosto complessa, un ruolo determinante al suo interno fu svolto dalla percezione della gravità delle grandi contraddizioni politiche e sociali e della conseguente urgenza etica di schierarsi in favore di sforzi collettivi o di interventi pubblici istituzionali, chiaramente dettati da scelte politiche2. 9 La chiave decisiva che impone e contemporaneamente legittima la disamina non di- correrli al loro interno. In altre e più semplici parole, il mondo produttivo hollywoo- rettamente partecipativa dei fenomeni culturali fu indicata da Mead nell’inaccessibilità diano, il suo assetto economico-industriale e la sua densa concentrazione di soggetti e delle culture con cui la ricerca voglia misurarsi, in termini spaziali o temporali3. La deci- di ruoli creativi, in particolare quelli addetti alla sonorizzazione dei film, costituiscono sa opzione anticonformista di questo approccio allo ricerca antropologica suscitò diverse una versione non bellicosa – ma non per questo meno impermeabile – dei mondi inac- reazioni critiche. La parte più consistente si rivolse, più che versus la separatezza del ricer- cessibili al ricercatore che imposero nel corso del XX secolo l’adozione dello “studio cul- catore dal suo oggetto di indagine, contro l’obiettivo stesso di prendere come oggetto di turale a distanza”. Il ricercatore è una sorta di “persona non grata”, se non di nemico in studio le “cultural regularities in the characters of individuals”; la diffidenza di allora per senso proprio: oltre a essere un corpuscolo incompatibile con i grandi ingranaggi della queste prospettive, che oggi si è trasformata in disagio, se non in aperto rigetto, riguarda macchina degli studios, egli non garantisce un atteggiamento allineato, “embedded”, ma sia l’aspetto della generalizzazione allargato a “popoli” o “nazioni”, sia il concetto stesso di invece minaccia di leggere quel mondo per svelarne aspetti che l’apparato non è interes- “carattere” con cui si intendeva compendiare l’insieme dei modi attraverso cui i motivi e le sato a mettere in evidenza.

Contact: [email protected] 1 Digital Surrealism: Visualizing Walt Disney Animation Studios Abstract There are a number of fruitful digital humanities approaches to cinema and media studies, but most of them only pursue traditional forms of scholarship by extracting a single variable from the audiovisual text that is already legible to scholars. Instead, cinema and media studies should pursue a mostly-ignored “digital-surrealism” that uses computer-based methods to transform film texts in radical ways not previously possible. This article describes one such method using the z-projection function of the scientific image analysis software ImageJ to sum film frames in order to create new composite images. Working with the fifty-four feature-length films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, I describe how this method allows for a unique understanding of a film corpus not otherwise available to cinema and media studies scholars. “Technique is the very being of all creation” — Roland Barthes “We dig up diamonds by the score, a thousand rubies, sometimes more, but we don't know what we dig them for” — The Seven Dwarfs There are quite a number of fruitful digital humanities approaches to cinema and media studies, which vary widely from aesthetic techniques of visualizing color and form in shots to data-driven metrics approaches analyzing editing patterns.

  • Animated Stereotypes –
    Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Alexander Lindgren, 36761 Pro gradu-avhandling i engelska språket och litteraturen Handledare: Jason Finch Fakulteten för humaniora, psykologi och teologi Åbo Akademi 2020 ÅBO AKADEMI – FACULTY OF ARTS, PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY Abstract for Master’s Thesis Subject: English Language and Literature Author: Alexander Lindgren Title: Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Supervisor: Jason Finch Abstract: Walt Disney Animation Studios is currently one of the world’s largest producers of animated content aimed at children. However, while Disney often has been associated with themes such as childhood, magic, and innocence, many of the company’s animated films have simultaneously been criticized for their offensive and quite problematic take on race and ethnicity, as well their heavy reliance on cultural stereotypes. This study aims to evaluate Disney’s portrayals of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as determine whether or not the nature of the company’s portrayals have become more culturally sensitive with time. To accomplish this, seven animated feature films produced by Disney were analyzed. These analyses are of a qualitative nature, with a focus on imagology and postcolonial literary theory, and the results have simultaneously been compared to corresponding criticism and analyses by other authors and scholars. Based on the overall results of the analyses, it does seem as if Disney is becoming more progressive and culturally sensitive with time. However, while most of the recent films are free from the clearly racist elements found in the company’s earlier productions, it is quite evident that Disney still tends to rely heavily on certain cultural stereotypes.

  • FILM SCORING in HOLLYWOOD About the Creative
    FILM SCORING IN HOLLYWOOD from Andreas Adler | www.adler-audiopictures.de About the creative hurdles involved in composing film music Braunschweig. Here in Germany, there are still those who are unaware of the integral role which music plays in cinema storytelling and that it merits just as much attention as the script, casting and editing. In the US, they're already some way ahead of us. Blockbusters and medium- sized productions alike get seven-figure budgets for the film music alone. One person who has been amazingly success- ful in this area, both as an artist and an entrepreneur, is the composer Hans Zim- mer. Reading the portfolio of his studio Media Ventures / Remote Control is like taking a trip through the past 20 years of mainstream Hollywood film: Rain Man, „Filmmusic in Hollywood“: Backdraft, Gladiator, The Thin Red Line, Christian Halten at the Black Hawk Down, The Da Vinci Code, The International Filmfest Braunschweig Simpsons Movie, … Photo: Dirk Alper Hans Zimmer has given a number of as- piring German composers the opportunity to gain experience by working on his Hollywood productions, among them Klaus Badelt (Time Machine, Pirates of the Caribbean), Henning Lohner (Der große Bagarozy) and, in particular, Christian Halten. Having already obtained a degree in music, Halten went on to study film music at the Baden-Württemberg Film Academy and the Filmmaking Masterclass at the University of California, Los Angeles. His talent and tireless networking helped him get a job with Remote Control Productions. He is currently working on film and computer-game music projects in his Skylife studio in Ludwigsburg as well as developing software instruments.

  • John Cage's Entanglement with the Ideas Of
    JOHN CAGE’S ENTANGLEMENT WITH THE IDEAS OF COOMARASWAMY Edward James Crooks PhD University of York Music July 2011 John Cage’s Entanglement with the Ideas of Coomaraswamy by Edward Crooks Abstract The American composer John Cage was famous for the expansiveness of his thought. In particular, his borrowings from ‘Oriental philosophy’ have directed the critical and popular reception of his works. But what is the reality of such claims? In the twenty years since his death, Cage scholars have started to discover the significant gap between Cage’s presentation of theories he claimed he borrowed from India, China, and Japan, and the presentation of the same theories in the sources he referenced. The present study delves into the circumstances and contexts of Cage’s Asian influences, specifically as related to Cage’s borrowings from the British-Ceylonese art historian and metaphysician Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. In addition, Cage’s friendship with the Jungian mythologist Joseph Campbell is detailed, as are Cage’s borrowings from the theories of Jung. Particular attention is paid to the conservative ideology integral to the theories of all three thinkers. After a new analysis of the life and work of Coomaraswamy, the investigation focuses on the metaphysics of Coomaraswamy’s philosophy of art. The phrase ‘art is the imitation of nature in her manner of operation’ opens the doors to a wide- ranging exploration of the mimesis of intelligible and sensible forms. Comparing Coomaraswamy’s ‘Traditional’ idealism to Cage’s radical epistemological realism demonstrates the extent of the lack of congruity between the two thinkers. In a second chapter on Coomaraswamy, the extent of the differences between Cage and Coomaraswamy are revealed through investigating their differing approaches to rasa , the Renaissance, tradition, ‘art and life’, and museums.
