  • Film, Photojournalism, and the Public Sphere in Brazil and Argentina, 1955-1980
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MODERNIZATION AND VISUAL ECONOMY: FILM, PHOTOJOURNALISM, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE IN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA, 1955-1980 Paula Halperin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Barbara Weinstein Department of History University of Maryland, College Park My dissertation explores the relationship among visual culture, nationalism, and modernization in Argentina and Brazil in a period of extreme political instability, marked by an alternation of weak civilian governments and dictatorships. I argue that motion pictures and photojournalism were constitutive elements of a modern public sphere that did not conform to the classic formulation advanced by Jürgen Habermas. Rather than treating the public sphere as progressively degraded by the mass media and cultural industries, I trace how, in postwar Argentina and Brazil, the increased production and circulation of mass media images contributed to active public debate and civic participation. With the progressive internationalization of entertainment markets that began in the 1950s in the modern cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires there was a dramatic growth in the number of film spectators and production, movie theaters and critics, popular magazines and academic journals that focused on film. Through close analysis of images distributed widely in international media circuits I reconstruct and analyze Brazilian and Argentine postwar visual economies from a transnational perspective to understand the constitution of the public sphere and how modernization, Latin American identity, nationhood, and socio-cultural change and conflict were represented and debated in those media. Cinema and the visual after World War II became a worldwide locus of production and circulation of discourses about history, national identity, and social mores, and a space of contention and discussion of modernization.

  • From Weimar to Winnipeg: German Expressionism and Guy Maddin Andrew Burke University of Winnipeg (Canada) E-Mail: [email protected]
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 16 (2019) 59–79 DOI: 10.2478/ausfm-2019-0004 From Weimar to Winnipeg: German Expressionism and Guy Maddin Andrew Burke University of Winnipeg (Canada) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The films of Guy Maddin, from his debut feature Tales from the Gimli Hospital (1988) to his most recent one, The Forbidden Room (2015), draw extensively on the visual vocabulary and narrative conventions of 1920s and 1930s German cinema. These cinematic revisitations, however, are no mere exercise in sentimental cinephilia or empty pastiche. What distinguishes Maddin’s compulsive returns to the era of German Expressionism is the desire to both archive and awaken the past. Careful (1992), Maddin’s mountain film, reanimates an anachronistic genre in order to craft an elegant allegory about the apprehensions and anxieties of everyday social and political life. My Winnipeg (2006) rescores the city symphony to reveal how personal history and cultural memory combine to structure the experience of the modern metropolis, whether it is Weimar Berlin or wintry Winnipeg. In this paper, I explore the influence of German Expressionism on Maddin’s work as well as argue that Maddin’s films preserve and perpetuate the energies and idiosyncrasies of Weimar cinema. Keywords: Guy Maddin, Canadian film, German Expressionism, Weimar cinema, cinephilia. Any effort to catalogue completely the references to, and reanimations of, German Expressionist cinema in the films of Guy Maddin would be a difficult, if not impossible, task. From his earliest work to his most recent, Maddin’s films are suffused with images and iconography drawn from the German films of the 1920s.

  • Kendal Mountain Festival Tour
    1 KENDAL MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL 2020 PROGRAMME SHARE THE ADVENTURE 2 A BIG WELCOME TO KENDAL MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL 2020 At Kendal we live by our motto ‘Share the Adventure’. This year, with the global upset, life stalling and time-pausing we all find ourselves ‘caring for the adventure’. Sharing, caring, and compassion have become essential to everyone in 2020. Back in February, reviewing the 2019 Festival and our Openness initiatives, we began focussing on this year’s Festival theme of ‘Nurture’. To us, Nurture means supporting the age-old tradition of mentorship, and in respect to wilderness and the environment, we strive to encourage and champion the future generations of enthusiasts. Nurture also means caring for our attitudes to each other and to ourselves; for the Festival we will continue to play a role to nurture the whole outdoor community, its storytellers and the wider industry. And then…well, what can one say at this point? It’s not where we imagined we’d be! We have been thinking of you all out there; about everyone’s very different ‘boats’ and about how the Festival weathers this huge global storm that 2020 will be remembered for. And again we come back to Nurture… A resilient love and care of the outdoors is more visible than ever before as people have re-connected and in many cases, re- entered the natural world. Even if we can’t all go outside the channels for connection remain wide and more relevant than before. Exeter University released research this October that suggests watching nature programmes can lift mood and combat boredom and sadness.

    Chapter I: Introduction Throughout history, there have been sporadic pockets or concentrations of intense intellectual activity around the globe. From Athens to Vienna, cities have often been associated with the historical eras in which they excelled. For example, the 5th century BC dramatists in Greece such as Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides helped to make Athens a leader in artistic creation during its prime. Vienna, the European capital of the music world during the 18th century, was a center of artistic creativity that included composers such as Mozart and Haydn. During the 1920s, the Weimar Republic held the distinction of being the epicenter of human thought and art, with Berlin firmly at the heart of this activity. A few of the familiar names connected to this era in German history are Thomas Mann, Albert Einstein, Theodor Adorno, Wassily Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger, Fritz Lang, and F.W. Murnau. In addition to these individuals, many artistic and intellectual schools such as German Expressionism, the Frankfurt School, the Bauhaus, and “Der Sturm” are associated with the Weimar Republic. Socially, the period represents an equally intense atmosphere. The Weimar Republic thrived on entertainment, clubs, and night-life in general. Berlin was at the forefront of urban entertainment in Germany, rivaling the other major cities of the Western world. The nightscape of Berlin was marked by lighted signs advertising small cabaret clubs and lavish musicals. However, the streets were also lined with disabled war veterans, prostitutes, and businessmen alike, reflecting an increase of prostitution, debauchery and crime of which all are in some way connected to the unbelievable inflation that permeated all layers of social, cultural and political life in Weimar Germany during the Republic’s first few years.

  • Pacific Affairs: Volume 92, No
    Pacific Affairs: Volume 92, No. 2 – June 2019 necessary adaptations to environmental challenges—whether natural or human induced—have always proved a part of reality in Oceania. Perhaps the most striking cases are in some of the geologically older islands, where soil fertility depended in part on the guano of the millions of seabirds nesting in their forests. When farmers cleared the trees to plant crops they disrupted ancient nutrient cycles. Erosion washed soil off the slopes, and farming techniques, labour practices, and social organization were all transformed as intensive pond-farming of taro and other crops supplanted much less-intensive practices. Land increased in value, and systems of land tenure—and thus of kinship and chieftainship—changed, and with them new notions of conflict resolution arose: in some places, warfare became endemic while in others, leaders became increasingly autocratic. Important lessons can be drawn. It’s entirely possible that climate change won’t necessarily render these islands uninhabitable, but they are likely to become very different places, with very different societies in the years to come. City University of New York, New York City, USA Glenn Petersen WHITE SUN = SETO SURYA. Written and directed by Deepak Rauniyar; editor, David Barker. Nepal: AADI Films, 2016. 1 DVD (89 min.) € 21.00, In Nepali with English subtitles. Nepali director, producer, and writer Deepak Rauniyar is a masterful storyteller, and White Sun—his second full-length feature with international cinematic release—is a rich and complex film. Set in the aftermath of Nepal’s decade-long armed conflict that concluded with a comprehensive peace agreement in 2006 between members of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and the government, this visually gripping and poignant tale works at many levels: part allegory, part political commentary and part family drama.

  • The Social Ecologies of the Bergfilm
    humanities Article Image, Environment, Infrastructure: The Social Ecologies of the Bergfilm Seth Peabody Seth Peabody, Carleton College, One North College Street, Northfield, MN 55057, USA; [email protected] Abstract: The German mountain film (Bergfilm) has received extensive critical attention for its political, social, and aesthetic implications, but has received remarkably little attention for its role in the environmental history of the Alps. This article considers the Bergfilm within the long history of depictions of the Alps and the growth of Alpine tourism in order to ask how the role of media in environmental change shifts with the advent of film. The argument builds on Verena Winiwarter and Martin Knoll’s model of social-ecological interaction, Adrian Ivakhiv’s theoretical framework for the environmental implications of film, and Laura Frahm’s theories of filmic space. Through an analysis of Arnold Fanck’s films Der heilige Berg [The Holy Mountain, Fanck 1926] and Der große Sprung [The Great Leap, Fanck 1927], which are compared with Gustav Renker’s novel Heilige Berge [Holy Mountains, Renker 1921] and set into the context of the environmental history of the Alpine regions where the films were shot, the author argues that film aesthetics serve as a creative catalyst for environmental change and infrastructure development. While some ecocinema scholars have Citation: Peabody, Seth. 2021. Image, argued that environmental films teach viewers new ideas or change modes of behavior, this analysis Environment, Infrastructure: The suggests that film aesthetics are most effective at accelerating processes of environmental change that Social Ecologies of the Bergfilm. are already underway.

  • Contemporary German Documentary Cinema
    Contemporary German Documentary Cinema (1999 – 2007): the Rural Represented, the Regional Defamiliarised and Heimat Revived Christina Bruns PhD The University of Edinburgh 2009 I declare that this thesis is entirely my own work. Christina Bruns 2 Abstract The thesis identifies a development integral to contemporary German documentary cinema that has not yet been taken into academic consideration: namely a new will to depict the regional, the rural, or Heimat. I have organised the research under precisely these three thematic motifs: the rural (Chapter One), the regional (Chapter Two), and Heimat (Chapter Three). The importance of the rural and the regional has to date been largely overlooked by academics in the field of film studies. Yet in the context of Germany they are key cultural markers – both are fundamental to the deep‐rooted German cultural concept of Heimat. Heimat, on the other hand, has attracted the recent attention of film scholars; their focus, however, has been mainly limited to historical analyses. I have implemented a number of theoretical frameworks in order to model a much‐needed understanding of this emerging German cinema. My examination of representations of the rural is rooted in a geographic approach to the medium of film, with an emphasis on the shaping (or lack thereof) of cinematic landscapes. My investigation of representations of the regional benefits from ethnographic concepts such as Other‐ing and exoticism. My discussion of a revival of Heimat on screen is based on historical analyses of the genre of the Heimat film. These theoretical 3 frameworks are guided by close textual analysis of eight case study films spanning the period 1999 – 2007: Die Blume der Hausfrau (Dominik Wessely, 1999), Out of Edeka (Konstantin Faigle, 2001), Schotter wie Heu (Wiltrud Baier and Sigrun Baier, 2002), Herr Wichmann von der CDU (Andreas Dresen, 2003), Ich kenn’ keinen – Allein unter Heteros (Jochen Hick, 2003), Die Blutritter (Douglas Wolfsperger, 2004), Durchfahrtsland (Alexandra Sell, 2005), Full Metal Village (Sung‐Hyung Cho, 2007).

  • Absolute Relativity: Weimar Cinema and the Crisis of Historicism By
    Absolute Relativity: Weimar Cinema and the Crisis of Historicism by Nicholas Walter Baer A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Anton Kaes, Chair Professor Martin Jay Professor Linda Williams Fall 2015 Absolute Relativity: Weimar Cinema and the Crisis of Historicism © 2015 by Nicholas Walter Baer Abstract Absolute Relativity: Weimar Cinema and the Crisis of Historicism by Nicholas Walter Baer Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory University of California, Berkeley Professor Anton Kaes, Chair This dissertation intervenes in the extensive literature within Cinema and Media Studies on the relationship between film and history. Challenging apparatus theory of the 1970s, which had presumed a basic uniformity and historical continuity in cinematic style and spectatorship, the ‘historical turn’ of recent decades has prompted greater attention to transformations in technology and modes of sensory perception and experience. In my view, while film scholarship has subsequently emphasized the historicity of moving images, from their conditions of production to their contexts of reception, it has all too often left the very concept of history underexamined and insufficiently historicized. In my project, I propose a more reflexive model of historiography—one that acknowledges shifts in conceptions of time and history—as well as an approach to studying film in conjunction with historical-philosophical concerns. My project stages this intervention through a close examination of the ‘crisis of historicism,’ which was widely diagnosed by German-speaking intellectuals in the interwar period.
