  • Z Archeologii Mediów : "Dynastia" I "Koło Fortuny"
    Telewizja buduje kapitalizm Mateusz Halawa Z ARCHEOLOGII MEDIÓW: DYNASTIA I KOŁO FORTUNY Dla Alexis Guzik z Małogoszczy, która ma już dziesięć lat. ilm zaczyna się widokiem ziemi z kosmosu i towarzyszącą mu kakofonią dźwięków komunika­ tów radiowych i telewizyjnych (wy)emitowanych przez ludzi w przestrzeń1. Im szerszy staje się kadr i im bardziej widz oddala się od Ziemi, tym starsze komunikaty słychać: zabójstwo najpierw F Roberta, później Johna Kennedy'ego, później zaś relacje z drugiej wojny światowej. Jak na archeologicznym wykopalisku: im starsza skorupa, tym głębiej (dalej) ją znajdujemy. Bohaterka, Eleanor Arroway, grana przez Jodie Foster, pracuje w programie poszukiwań cywilizacji pozaziemskiej (SETI). Pewnego dnia udaje jej się odebrać tajemniczy sygnał, który po zdekodowaniu okazuje się być przekazem telewizyjnym: przemówie­ niem Hitlera na otwarciu olimpiady w Berlinie w 1936 r. To pierwszy nadany przez ludzi przekaz, który zna­ lazł się w przestrzeni kosmicznej - zauważa Eleanor. Ktoś go usłyszał (pozaziemska cywilizacja?) i odesłał z powrotem zszokowanym naukowcom. To filmowy obraz archeologii obrazu telewizyjnego i fal dźwiękowych i wizja aktualizowania dawnego przekazu medialnego we współczesności. W przybliżeniu oddaje to, czym chcę się tu zająć. (Nawet z naj­ gorszej książki można się czegoś nauczyć, miał powiedzieć Pliniusz Starszy - zasada ta odnosi się również do kiepskich filmów science fiction). „Nośnikiem pamięci o przeszłości, przynajmniej potencjalnym - pisze historyk Marcin Kula - jest do­ słownie wszystko” (Kula, 2002: 7-8). W książce Nośniki pamięci historycznej badacz, zajmując się czę­ sto faktami i rzeczami pozornie pozbawionymi historycznego znaczenia, pokazuje, jak można rekonstru­ ować przeszłość z drobnych fragmentów tego, co pozostało. Próbuje też przewidzieć, co pozostanie z naszych czasów.

There's nothing funny about it. But survival, and what it takes to survive, there can be humor in that.” -Rob Reiner, Director “I am…privy to many of the films that are released on a yearly basis about the Holocaust. I cannot think of one project that has taken the approach of THE LAST LAUGH. THE LAST LAUGH dispels the notion that there is nothing new to say or to reveal on the subject because this aspect of survival is one that very few have explored in print and no one that I know of has examined in a feature documentary.” -Richard Tank, Executive Director at the Simon Wiesenthal Center SHORT SYNOPSIS THE LAST LAUGH is a feature documentary about what is taboo for humor, seen through the lens of the Holocaust and other seemingly off-limits topics, in a society that prizes free speech.

  • The Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish
    The Parkes Institute for the study of Jewish/non-Jewish relations Annual Review 2015 - 2016 In summer 2016, Kathrin Pieren and Tony Kushner organised the first Parkes International Workshop on 1 Jewish Heritage, generously supported by the Rothschild Foundation Europe (Hanadiv). See page 13 for the full report. Here, the value of the hand-in-hand of museum work and academic research was illustrated by the excellent talk by Dr Alla Sokolova, Curator at the State Museum of the History Religions in St Petersburg and Lecturer at the European University of St Petersburg. She presented the results of a field study related to an exhibition of Jewish family heirlooms that she organised a few years ago. The exhibits, many of them everyday items such as photographs or pieces of clothing, were charged with meaning by the lenders, Jewish individuals, some of whom are shown in the pictures on this page. 3 3 4 7 2 1.

The more highly charged the event, the more evocative it is, the greater the incentive to become invested in different versions of it.”1 This is true of any historic event, but quite possibly the best event to fit this description is the Holocaust of the Jews in Europe. Those of us who did not endure the concentration camps have no way to know exactly how it felt to be in that situation. Elie Wiesel said this while criticizing the acclaimed mini-series Holocaust.2 We only know what we have seen in the representation of the event, so we have seen different versions of the Shoah3.

  • 1 42.347 Dr. Stallbaumer-Beishline Holocaust Through Hollywood's
    1 42.347 Dr. Stallbaumer-Beishline Holocaust through Hollywood's Eyes Holocaust Films: “Imagining the Unimaginable” The average American's most extensive exposure to the Holocaust is through popular filmic presentations on either the "big screen" or television. These forums, as Ilan Avisar points out, must yield “to popular demands and conventional taste to assure commercial success."1 Subsequently, nearing the successful completion of this course means that you know more about the Holocaust than the average American. This assignment encourages you to think critically, given your broadened knowledge base, about how the movie-television industry has treated the subject. Film scholars have grappled with the unique challenge of Holocaust-themed films. Ponder their views as you formulate your own opinions about the films that you select to watch. Annette Insdorff, Indelible Shadows: Film and the Holocaust (1989) "How great a role are films playing in determining contemporary awareness of the Final Solution? . How do you show people being butchered? How much emotion is too much? How will viewers respond to light-hearted moments in the midst of suffering?" (xviii) "How do we lead a camera or a pen to penetrate history and create art, as opposed to merely recording events? What are the formal as well as moral responsibilities if we are to understand and communicate the complexities of the Holocaust through its filmic representations?" (xv) Ilan Avisar, Screening the Holocaust: Cinema's Images of the Unimaginable (1988) "'Art [including film making] takes the sting out of suffering.'" (viii) The need for popular reception of a film inevitably leads to "melodramatization or trivialization of the subject." (46) Hollywood/American filmmakers' "universalization [using the Holocaust to make statements about contemporary problems] is rooted in specific social concerns that seek to avoid burdening a basically indifferent public with unbearable facts of the Nazi genocide of the Jews.
