(Keith [John Legend] pergunta para Sebastian [Ryan Gosling] sobre o jazz, em La La Land [Damien Chazelle, 2016]). 6 RESUMO Esta pesquisa investiga a cobertura da cerimônia do Oscar realizada por jornalistas especializados em premiações. Partimos da perspectiva das teorias sobre acontecimento, base da prática jornalística, segundo as quais a entrega do prêmio pode ser encarada como um acontecimento midiático por excelência, enquanto toda a temporada de premiações hollywoodianas é marcada por acontecimentos que resultam na "corrida do Oscar". As produções dos jornalistas especializados, inseridas na lógica do jornalismo cultural, inevitavelmente se configuram como uma forma de traçar crítica sobre os filmes e estrelas considerados ao prêmio, possuindo caráter meta-acontecimental por, elas próprias, ressignificarem a concepção de seus objetos de análise. Desta forma, buscamos compreender como esses jornalistas configuraram a trajetória de um filme durante a temporada de premiações. Para fins deste estudo, será contemplada a corrida do Oscar 2017, marcada pelo favoritismo do filme musical La La Land - Cantando Estações, até o momento em que este foi anunciado como o vencedor do prêmio máximo, para, em seguida, se descobrir que houve um engano e o verdadeiro vencedor era Moonlight - Sob a Luz do Luar. Assim, utilizando como metodologia Análise de Conteúdo com o intuito de investigar o poder hermenêutico dos acontecimentos, foram selecionados trinta textos de três jornalistas estadunidenses sobre distintos momentos da corrida, objetivando descobrir como o texto crítico configurou a trajetória de La La Land e, consequentemente, a maneira como o próprio filme pode ser entendido. Contemplamos as modalizações de opinião e eventos externos à corrida do Oscar que eram invocados pelos jornalistas para contextualizar as chances do filme na disputa, bem como a forma como a premiação ressignifica as obras que a ela são cotadas, e evidenciamos a relação entre a atividade crítica e a produção de meta-acontecimentos. Verificamos que, logo após seu lançamento, o musical foi projetado como o favorito ao prêmio e serviu como parâmetro para a avaliação de todas as outras obras que estavam na disputa. Após novembro de 2016, a eleição de Donald Trump se torna um elemento constante nos textos, e surge como indicador de que o filme talvez seja por demais frívolo ou escapista para vencer, dissonante com o espírito do tempo. Percebe-se que a corrida do Oscar, um acontecimento ritual, precisa de novos enredos todos os anos para se manter atrativa, e a história que é apresentada pelos jornalistas como alternativa à de La La Land – filme feito sob medida para a premiação – é a do movimento OscarSoWhite, sobre disputas raciais em Hollywood e da qual Moonlight é adotado como símbolo. Ao final, a jornada do musical é desbancada, mas a espetacular falha no anúncio de Melhor Filme se torna o verdadeiro acontecimento jornalístico da noite, ao invés da celebração dos vencedores. Os apontamentos críticos sobre o filme são todos relacionados ao seu potencial em premiações, de forma que sua derrota seja a lembrança que fica para a posteridade. Percebemos, logo, que o texto fundamentalmente crítico dos jornalistas emerge como uma das muitas ferramentas capazes de reconfigurar o filme diante o público e a indústria, servindo tanto para alavancá-lo ao patamar de favorito da temporada quanto para derrubá-lo da categoria. Palavras-chave: Acontecimento. Crítica de Cinema. Jornalismo Cultural. Cobertura do Oscar. 7 ABSTRACT This research investigates the coverage of the Oscar ceremony by journalists specialized in the coverage of award shows. We depart from the perspective of theories about events, the basis of journalistic practice, according to which the show can be seen as a media event par excellence, while the entire Hollywood award season is marked by events that result in the "Oscar race". The texts of specialized journalists, inserted in the logic of cultural journalism, inevitably are configured as a way of drawing criticism about the films and stars considered for the award, having a meta-event character because, by themselves, they redefine the conception of their objects of analysis. Thus, we aim to comprehend how these journalists configured the journey of a movie during awards season. For the purposes of this study, the 2017 Oscar race will be contemplated, marked by the favoritism of the musical film La La Land, until the moment when it was announced as the winner of the ultimate award, only to be discovered that there was a mistake and the real winner was Moonlight. Thus, using as methodology a Content Analysis in order to investigate the hermeneutic power of the events, thirty texts by three Unitedstadian journalists about different moments of the race were selected, aiming to discover how the critical text configured La La Land journey, and, thus, the way the film itself can be understood. We contemplated the modalizations of opinion and the events external to the Oscar race that were invoked by the journalist to contextualize the chances of the movie in the competition, as well as the way how the award resignifies the works that are hyped for it, and we highlighted the relation between the critical activity and the production of meta-events We found that, shortly after its release, the musical was projected as the favorite for the award and served as a parameter for the evaluation of all other works that were competing. After November 2016, the election of Donald Trump becomes a constant element in the texts, and appears as an indicator that the film may be too frivolous or escapist to win, dissonant with the spirit of the time. It is clear that the Oscar race, a ritual event, needs new plots every year to remain attractive, and the story that is presented by journalists as an alternative to La La Land‟s – a film tailor-made for the awards – is that of the OscarSoWhite movement, about racial disputes in Hollywood and of which Moonlight is adopted as a symbol. In the end, the musical's journey is outdated, but the spectacular flaw in the announcement of Best Picture becomes the real journalistic event of the night, rather than the celebration of the winners. The critical notes about the film are all related to its potential in award shows, so its defeat is the reminder of it that remains for posterity. We noticed, then, that the journalists‟ fundamentally critical texts emerge as one of the many tools capable of reconfiguring the movie before the public and the industry, capable of both rising it to favorite status and of blowing it from this category.

Geoffrey Grec/C Ph.D. Professor of English Sarita Cannon, Ph.D. Associate Professor of English ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE AND REPRESENTATION IN THE WORKS OF ISHMAEL REED Jason Andrew JackI San Francisco, California 2018 This thesis demonstrates the ways in which Ishmael Reed proposes incisive countemarratives to the hegemonic master narratives that perpetuate degrading misportrayals of Afro American culture in the historical record and mainstream news and entertainment media of the United States. Many critics and readers have responded reductively to Reed’s work by hastily dismissing his proposals, thereby disallowing thoughtful critical engagement with Reed’s views as put forth in his fiction and non­ fiction writing. The study that follows asserts that Reed’s corpus deserves more thoughtful critical and public recognition than it has received thus far. To that end, I argue that a critical re-exploration of his fiction and non-fiction writing would yield profound contributions to the ongoing national dialogue on race relations in America.

  • 8 Hollywood Fatherhood: Paternal Postfeminism in Contemporary
    8 Hollywood Fatherhood: Paternal Postfeminism in Contemporary Popular Cinema Hannah Hamad Contemporary Hollywood cinema is rife with representations of fatherhood since paternalised protagonists have become an increasingly and often overwhelmingly omnipresent feature of popular film in the early twenty-first century, while the currency of fatherhood as a defining component of ideal masculinity has emerged as a dominant cultural trope of postfeminism, and a structuring paradigm of mediated masculinity. This chapter addresses articulations of fatherhood in recent popular cinema which are discursively congruent with the sensibilities of postfeminist culture, exploring the ubiquity and centrality of fatherhood as the anchoring trope of the multiplicity of contemporary Hollywood masculinities. The summer of 2002 marked a watershed moment for what subsequently became the pronounced and widespread paternalisation of Hollywood’s cinematic output, when it saw the release of a small but significant cluster of films, all of which conspicuously pushed issues of fatherhood to the discursive fore. The films that comprised this group were Steven Spielberg’s man-on-the-run science-fiction action thriller Minority Report, Sam Mendes’ historical gangster melodrama Road to Perdition, and M. Night Shyamalan’s moody alien invasion drama Signs. All were high grossing and wide releases,1 star vehicles, and genre films. All showcased big name directors, and all featured narratives in which the goal of the protagonist was causally and hyperbolically linked to his fatherhood. Minority Report starred Tom Cruise as John Anderton, a guilt ridden traumatized father, struggling to solve the mystery of his son’s disappearance; Road to Perdition saw Tom Hanks playing against type as widowed single father Mike Sullivan, a small town mobster hit man determined to protect his son from his Chicago enemies after the boy witnesses a murder; and Mel Gibson starred in Signs as lapsed clergyman Graham Hess, a widowed single father protecting his children from malevolent and hostile extra-terrestrials.

  • Mechanics and Expression: Franz Roh and the New Vision — a Historical Sketch
    Mechanics and Expression: Franz Roh and the New Vision — A Historical Sketch Inka Graeve Ingelmann Photo-eye is a nervous and important book. Its editors call the world not only beautiful but exciting, cruel, and weird. In intention social and didactic, this is an anthology of the “new” photography; yet its editors knew where to look for their material. — Walker Evans,“The Reappearance of Photography,” 19311 Foto-auge (Photo-eye) was one of the most influential publi- cations in the field of the New Photography in the 1920s (fig. 1). Shortly after its appearance it was euphorically celebrated as a “culturally pioneering work,” as a “collection of disturb- ingly beautiful pictures,” and as an “art history of modern photography,” and it took first place among the fifty most beautiful books of 1929.2 This compendium was conceived after a visit by Franz Roh, an academically trained art critic and champion of modern photography living in Munich, and the typographer Jan Tschichold, who was teaching in Munich, to the Stuttgart film and photography exhibition Film und Foto, known as Fi/Fo,3 from which most of its photographs were taken. Roh contributed the programmatic text “Mechanismus und Ausdruck” (Mechanism and expression), and Tschichold was responsible for the cover design and typography. Together they made the picture selection, a distillation from the more than one thousand works in the exhibition. Foto-auge contains seventy-six reproductions reflect- ing the entire range of the Neues Sehen (New Vision), and formulates the new photographic aesthetic that had estab- lished itself as the way of the future around 1929.
