  • Conceptual Sphere of Modern Cinema (A Study of Headline Complexes of 21St - Century European and Asian Movies)
    DOI: 10.308161ICONN412017166 Conceptual sphere of modern cinema (a study of headline complexes of 21st - century European and Asian movies) Elena Gudeleva, Ekaterina Sudarkina Vladimir State University, Russia Abstract: This article aims to reveal the conceptual sphere of modern cinema dis- course in Europe and Asia by analyzing movie headline complexes. More than two thousand original movie titles and slogans of 21st-century films presented at the largest festivals are studied. The main concepts man( , opposition, love, house and nature) are pointed out and explained. In addition to the detailed theoretical commentary, the paper shows how the cinema headline complex con- centrates intertextual and non-textual associations, and carries information about authors’ intentions and tastes of moviegoers who are the target audience for the interpreter. Keywords: headline complex, concept, cinema discourse, translation, linguocul- tural analysis Introduction The headline complex (all the elements of the frame text grouped around a work’s title)1 takes on such functions as nominative, evaluative and expressive, infor- mative, and advertising. It is aimed at helping people navigate in a large stream of data in a more flexible manner. The linguistic base in cinematography is a relatively new and regularly expanded section of onomastics. In Western science cinematographic names and other non-textual elements are studied within the terminological framework of the paratext theory formulated in the 1980s by Gerard Genette and several other research- ers (Robert Stam; Nicole Janin-Foucher) and also within the framing theory suggested by Erving Goffman Frame( Analysis, 1974) and Werner Wolf with the contributors to his anthology (2006), who have tried to apply it to media.

  • The Changing Face of Korean Cinema, 1960 to 2015 / Brian Yecies and Ae-Gyung Shim
    The Changing Face of Korean Cinema The rapid development of Korean cinema during the decades of the 1960s and 2000s reveals a dynamic cinematic history that runs parallel to the nation’s politi- cal, social, economic, and cultural transformation during these formative periods. This book examines the ways in which South Korean cinema has undergone a transformation from an antiquated local industry in the 1960s into a thriving international cinema in the twenty-first century. It investigates the circumstances that allowed these two eras to emerge as creative watersheds and demonstrates the forces behind Korea’s positioning of itself as an important contributor to regional and global culture, especially its interplay with Japan, Greater China, and the United States. Beginning with an explanation of the understudied operations of the film industry during its 1960s take-off, it then offers insight into the challenges that producers, directors, and policy makers faced in the 1970s and 1980s during the most volatile part of Park Chung Hee’s authoritarian rule and the subsequent Chun Doo-hwan military government. It moves on to explore the film industry’s profes- sionalization in the 1990s and subsequent international expansion in the 2000s. In doing so, it explores the nexus and tensions of film policy, producing, directing, genres, and the internationalization of Korean cinema over half a century. By highlighting the recent transnational turn in national cinemas, this book underscores the impact of developments pioneered by Korean cinema on the transformation of “Planet Hallyuwood”. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Korean Studies and Film Studies.

  • 張作驥風格研究 Light in Darkness: Stylistics Of
    國立臺灣師範大學英語學系 碩士論文 Master Thesis Graduate Institute of English National Taiwan Normal University 黑暗之光: 張作驥風格研究 Light in Darkness: Stylistics of Chang Tso-chi 指導教授:吳 佳 琪 博士 Advisor:Dr. Chia-Chi Wu 研究生:謝 雯 伃 Advisee: Wen-yu Hsieh 中 華 民 國 九 十 七 年 七 月 July, 2008 中文摘要 本論文企圖藉由將導演張作驥的電影置於美學、歷史及文化等三脈絡中分 析,從對其創作歷程及作品風格的分析中,探討張作驥如何在台灣新電影的影響 下繼承並發展個人風格。分析重點著重在張作驥的風格及敘事結構的安排,說明 他在台灣當代電影史及整個影史上的定位。第一章對當前台灣電影的處境進行解 釋及評價,同時整理作者論論述的發展歷史,以便在後面的章節進行檢視。第二 章則以綜論和溯史的方式來回顧張作驥的電影背景養成,同時討論新電影運動的 歷史及影響,檢視在新電影及大師侯孝賢的影響力之下,張作驥的風格是如何形 成、發展、以臻成熟。第三章從風格和主題兩方面來探討張作驥明顯的個人印記, 同時與社會文化及歷史經驗相應和。雙結尾的安排與「著魔寫實主義」的安排則 說明了張作驥是如何使用風格技巧來建立關於現代化與後殖民歷史及文化論 述。藉由對張作驥電影風格的分析,架構出的不只是導演本身風格的演進成熟 史,同時窺看電影風格如何與歷史社會做緊密的結合,期望能藉由本文的討論, 架構出張作驥電影風格形成的軌跡,並檢視台灣及世界電影史發展的脈絡。 Abstract This analysis seeks to analyze the director Chang Tso-chi’s works so as to discuss how and why Chang represents both a successor and pioneer in contemporary Taiwan film culture. I examine Chang’s style and narrative structure in order to probe his significance in contemporary Taiwan, and even in the whole cinematic historical context. Chapter I gives a thorough evaluation on Taiwan directors and Chang, and introduces the auteurism’s history in order to review and redefine it. Chapter II examines Chang Tso-chi’s background and films, and takes note that the influence of the Taiwan New Cinema movement is great in his films, especially the world-famous master Hou Hsiao-hsien’s. Chapter III focuses on more detailed analyses of Chang’s thematic and stylistic signatures. Of particular interest is that the specific forking-path structure and the “haunted realism” reflect the modernist and post-colonial point of view by offering criticism in a sympathetic eye. Redefined auteuristic view allows us to analyze Chang’s films within a stylistic as well as historical domain and provides us a better base with which to understand these two concepts.

  • The Need for Integrated Management for the Endangered Miyun Resevoir
    Quenching Beijing’s Thirst: The Need for Integrated Management for the Endangered Miyun Resevoir By Christoph Peisert and Eva Sternfeld Miyun reservoir, a large reservoir northeast of Beijing municipality, is the Chinese capital’s most important source of drinking water. For many years the Beijing municipal government has made great efforts to protect the reservoir and its catchment area. However, successful implementation has been hampered by numerous user conflicts. This paper investigates the origin and various types of conflicts, which include inter-provincial, city-county disputes, as well as conflicts between county government and local residents living in the water protection zone. The magnitude of these conflicts and continued deteriorating quality of the reservoir underline the need for integrated watershed management approaches as stipulated in the 2002 revised Water Law, and the adoption of a water economy that includes the costs for water protection and compensation for those required to carry out watershed protection activities. he large Miyun reservoir, built during the Great Natural Determinants of the Beijing Water Crisis Leap Forward period (1958-1960) in the Beijing municipality is located in the dry northeast Tnortheast of Beijing municipality, is a critical edge of the North China Plain bordering the Mongolian source of drinking water for the 14 million people living Plateau in central Hebei province.

At a massage centre run by the blind, damaged bodies find relief beneath sensitive fingers. A new couple comes to work at the centre. The others are drawn to them. Within this community, we witness seduction, suffering and - above all - the search for love. DIRECTOR’S NOTE When I asked Mr. Bi Feiyu why he wrote his novel “Blind Massage”, instead of giving me a direct answer, he told me a story. At one time, when he was suffering from writer’s block and couldn’t work, he would wander about every day, doing very little. During this period he often visited a massage centre close to his home, where all the masseurs were blind. As they grew familiar with each other, he and his masseur would talk about various topics. One day, Bi was the last customer in the centre. As he was leaving with the workers, he took the hand of a blind masseur to guide him down the stairs.
