Pereira, José Carlos _ Vargas, António _”Editorial”, 2018, pp. 9-12. EDITORIAL José Carlos Pereira António Vargas Com este número duplo, correspondente aos números 18/19, a revista Arteteoria inicia a sua II Série. Fundada no ano 2000, em articulação com o mestrado de Teo- rias da Arte da Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa, e sob a direcção do Professor Catedrático José Fernandes Pereira (1953-2012), foi dirigida, entre 2009 e 2017, pela Profª. Doutora Maria João Ortigão e pelo Prof. Doutor Eduardo Duarte. A partir do caminho percorrido, a revista Arteteoria procura hoje a sua acreditação jun- to dos repertórios de investigação, tendo procedido, para o efeito, à constituição de um Conselho Científico, à revisão duplamente cega por pares (double blind peer review), e à adopção das normas recomendadas de edição e publicação, tendo em vista a sua indexação em bases de dados internacionais. Neste número alargámos também o âmbito da revista ao Brasil, seja em termos de co-direcção seja em termos de colaboradores, iniciando um desejável e progressivo pro- cesso de internacionalização, que pretende incorporar colaborações de outros países da Europa e da América. Em termos de estrutura, e para além da consagração da figura do Editor, externo à Direcção, a revista divide-se em duas partes: um corpo principal, que recolhe os artigos respeitantes ao tema, ou dossier, seleccionados para cada número, e uma segunda parte, intitulada Notas de Investigação, onde se promovem, divulgam, e incentivam os trabalhos de investigadores mais jovens, no âmbito de mestrados, dou- toramentos e pós-doutoramentos, vinculados ao CIEBA (Centro de Investigação e de Estudos em Belas-Artes), ou a outros centros e institutos de investigação. Aproveitando o centenário, ocorrido em 2017, da Revolução Russa de Outubro de 1917, e lembrando a publicação do Portugal Futurista, constituiu-se ensejo da Direcção celebrar a efeméride, e particularmente o surgimento das vanguardas que anteciparam a revolução política, e nela se desenvolveram, sem esquecer, naturalmente, o cerceamento a que foram mais tarde sujeitas pelas opções estéticas e programáticas do regime então implantado, pese embora as implicações que uma outra noção de realismo, proposta pe- los vanguardistas russos, acabaria por ter na arte da posteriormente constituída União das Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas (URSS), mas também da Europa e do continente americano. Ainda assim, e tendo em conta o carácter disseminado das vanguardas, as propostas, entre outras, do futurismo, do construtivismo, do suprematismo e do formalismo russos, frutificaram muito para além das fronteiras onde surgiram, recon- figurando a arte ocidental, e não só, sendo que os seus efeitos ainda ecoam na arte con- temporânea, seja pela sua sedimentação lenta, ou pela reavaliação que as neovanguardas 9 ARTETEORIA _ ISSN 1646-396X _ SÉRIE II _ Nº18/19 _ 2017 © 2017 by ARTETEORIA, All rights reserved. Pereira, José Carlos _ Vargas, António _”Editorial”, 2018, pp. 9-12. fizeram desse legado. Para além das propostas estéticas propriamente ditas, e da pionei- ra noção de arte como praxis social, no quadro referencial das aspirações programáticas e ideológicas dos artistas na época, o reconhecimento do valor da criatividade humana, em termos vivenciais e ontológicos, não deixa de constituir, ainda hoje, motivo de uma profunda reflexão. Num tempo, como o nosso, em que também a arte, a braços com o multiculturalismo estreito que o processo de globalização implantou, se vê convertida muitas vezes numa “marca”, mercadoria e “commodity” – e em que até a resistência política inerente ao acto criativo é frequentemente parodiada, ou rapidamente absorvida pelos fluxos das novas tendências estéticas, políticas e sociais, do chamado pós-capitalismo –, o espírito que animou a produção artística russa nas duas primeiras décadas do século XX é ainda hoje louvável exemplo de explosão criativa, pese embora a referida instrumentalização que o poder político fez dessa mesma produção, atenuando, ou extinguindo, na maio- ria das vezes, o contributo fecundo de artistas que encaravam a arte como uma outra possibilidade de regenerar a sociedade, através de um outro modo de ver, viver, e rela- cionar-se com o mundo. O confronto dos valores da arte, na sua ontogénese, com os valores de mercado tem implicado frequentemente uma hegemonia dos segundos sobre os primeiros, ambos se confundindo, por vezes, numa voragem que alterou o próprio sistema da arte, como fora conhecido desde, pelo menos, o romantismo até às últimas décadas. Sem prejuízo do lícito valor de mercado, o valor da arte, assim como o valor da experiência estética — desde a fruição à própria possibilidade de afirmação de uma identidade individual e co- lectiva, construída a partir do mundo, ou mundos, possibilitados pela abertura da obra de arte —, são hoje motivo também de profunda reflexão. A necessidade desta reflexão, que tem surgido, com frequência, de modo tangencial, é tanto mais urgente quanto os valores de mercado se transformaram em valores absolutos da vida contemporânea; na verdade, há hoje escassos indícios de uma verdadeira e fundamentada crítica ao conflito entre os valores ontogenéticos da obra de arte e os valores de mercado, sendo que, quan- do essa crítica aflora, e dada a actual e cínica base alargada de consenso, rapidamente cai na suspeita de romântica ou marxista, procurando-se, de um modo não raras vezes frágil, do ponto de vista argumentativo, descredibilizá-la à partida.

They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

  • Soviet Film Show at Museum of Modern Art
    f? I The Museum of Modern Art 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart No. 116 FOR RELEASE: September 2U, I969 HUGE SOVIET FILM SHOW AT MUSEUM OF MODERN ART The most comprehensive showing of Soviet films ever given here will be presented by The Museum of Modern Art over seventy-two days, with daily showings except Wednesday, in the Museum Auditorium, starting September 25 and ending November 11. The Soviet Film Show was made possible through the efforts of Willard Van Dyke, the Director of the Museum's Department of Film in co­ operation with Victor Privato, Director of Gosfilmofond, the Soviet St-rte Film Archive. It in­ cludes forty-nine motion pictures, covering almost 60 years, from I909 to I96T Several of them never have been shown before in this country. Represented in this retrospective are works of the three most renowned film-makers: Vsevolod Pudovkin's "Storm Over Asia" (I928); Sergei Eisenstein's "Potemkin" (I925) nd "Ivan the Terrible" Part I (I9UU) and Part II (I9U6); and Alexander Dovzhenko's "Arsenal" (I929). Other maior works include "Fragment of an Empire" (I929), "The Road to Life" (1951), "Chapayev" (I93U), and "The Childhood of Maxim Gorky" (1938). The sources of these films are Gosfilmofond, which has made special prints from the original negatives for this occasion, and the archives of the Museum, which according to Mr. Van Dyke has the largest collection of Russian films outside the SoA'iet Union. Mr. Van Dyke indicated that a comparable retrospective of American films, from their inception to the present time, will take place in Moscow in the near future.

BRUCE LEE WAS OUR HERO THEN. AT SOME POINT IN THE PLOT, ONE OF THE BAD GUYS WAS COMING TO ATTACK BRUCE LEE FROM BEHIND WHILE HE WAS UNAWARE, AND SUDDENLY ONE OF THE SPECTATORS IN THE THEATER LEAPT TO THE STAGE AND DUG A KNIFE THROUGH THE BAD GUY’S PROJECTION ON SCREEN. THAT WAS MY FIRST LESSON IN CINEMA.” Philippe Lacôte, filmmaker, Côte d’Ivoire 2 CURATORIAL CONCEPT During the Cold War, the African continent and the Arab world were contested territories for the strategic deployment of influence and allegiance between the Soviet Union and the USA. Cultural diplomacy represented an important realm in which that contest was manifested, specifically through granting scholarships in higher education and the creation of specialized professional national elites whose allegiance would be organically bound to either power. Under the aegis of “international socialist friendship,” the Soviet Union used channels of diplomacy to host a remarkable number of students at universities in Moscow and other cities.

Between 1949 and 1994, when Hollywood’s path to China was blocked by Cold War politics, the Chinese Communist Party dubbed and screened over one thousand films from the Soviet bloc, Western Europe, and beyond. These foreign films made up close to one half of all films screened in China and were more popular and profitable than domestic Chinese films. Despite their immense popularity and lasting impact, no comprehensive study on these films has emerged. I argue that dubbed foreign films disrupt the familiar narratives of Chinese cultural history, by showing that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) never achieved full control over its cinema, and its ideological indoctrination was always confined by its technology. I use government documents, film companies’ internal publications, and audience memoirs to construct a history of the PRC’s foreign film import and exhibition. I demonstrate that the CCP used foreign films to fulfill three functions: as ideological textbooks, as diplomatic tokens, and as program fillers and revenue earners to supplement China’s meager domestic film output. Much as the CCP wished to regulate the content of foreign films, pragmatic concerns such as diplomatic relationships and the demands of the film exhibition industry compelled them to screen foreign films that were not up to their ideological standards.

No. 1 October, 1963 Dear Colleagues: As a prelude to writing this word of greeting to begin a new school year, I had the curiosity to look again at what I wrote five years ago, in 1958, which was the last time it fell to the Department of French to do so. The return to favor of foreign language study was already under way, and Ilr. Conant was urging that every high school make available to capable students an adequate offering in languages, as well as in science and mathematics. The National Defense Educa- tion Act had just been passed, offering the means of additional train- ing for language teachers and providing subsidies for the acquisition of equipment such as language laboratories. In these last five years the number of students getting language train- ing in the high schools and colleges has continued to increase, some- times steadily, sometimes by leaps and bounds. The number of language teachers in training has been rising sharply as well, but not enough to keep up with the demand. New teachers as well as experienced ones have had five summers of opportunity to improve their competence at NDEA summer language institutes or other schools for additional train- ing. There is more and more realization that oral competence in a foreign language is a major goal and that it demands a high degree of skill and perseverance in the teacher.
