Esta coletanea de ensaios traz uma discusso sobre os rumos da fotografia e do cinema na era digital, em que a manipulaço dos arquivos gera obras que no foram "tocadas" pela luz. Ao mesmo tempo, este livro reflete sobre o futuro dessas artes na medida em que se afastam dos suportes de produço e exibiço que os caracterizam. Esta publicaço nasceu de um coloquio internacional organizado por Beatriz Furtado e Philippe Dubois, professores e pesquisadores especializados nessa area. O coloquio reuniu intelectuais brasileiros, portugueses, franceses e canadenses que so tambem os autores dos artigos desta coletanea.

Before Marilyn tells the story of Marilyn Monroes modelling career, during which time she was signed to the famous Blue Book Agency in Hollywood.The head of the agency, Miss Emmeline Snively, saw potential in the young woman and kept detailed records and correspondence throughout their professional relationship and beyond. On the day of Monroes funeral, Snively gave an interview from her office, talking about the girl she had discovered, before announcing, rather dramatically, that she was closing the lid on her Marilyn Monroe archive that day to lock it away forever. This archive was purchased by Astrid Franse, and together with bestselling Marilyn Monroe biographer Michelle Morgan they draw on this collection of never-before-seen documents, letters and much, much more.Before Marilyn explores an aspect of Monroes life that has never been fully revealed by charting every modelling job she did, and illustrating the text with rare and unpublished photographs of the young model and her mentor.

Lange Zeit von den Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften ignoriert und als bloe Mainstream-Unterhaltung stigmatisiert, erlangt der Sportfilm zunehmend wissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit. Der interdisziplinar angelegte Band verdeutlicht das vielfaltige und vielschichtige, gleichwohl noch nicht annahernd ausgeschopfte wissenschaftliche Analyse- und Reflexionspotenzial des Sportfilms. Die Beitrage der national und international renommierten Autorinnen und Autoren fokussieren im Besonderen den Sportspielfilm mit seinen zahlreichen Subgenres wie Football-, Basketball-, Box-, Olympia- und Kampfsportfilm. Das steigende Interesse am Sportfilm resultiert aus der wachsenden Einsicht, dass es sich hierbei um ein Genre handelt, das pointiert gesellschaftliche Zustande, kulturelle Ideologien sowie politisch-okonomische Strukturen reflektiert und kritisiert. Der Sportfilm thematisiert historische Ereignisse, gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen wie auch individuelle und kollektive (Anti-)Helden. Er gibt Aufschluss uber kulturspezifische Besonderheiten des Sports und dessen Verflechtung mit anderen gesellschaftlichen Handlungsfeldern. Daruber hinaus inszeniert er zeitgeisttypische und zugleich allgemeingultige (Korper-)Ideale, Werte, Konflikt- und Handlungsmuster. Der Sportfilm reproduziert damit nicht nur gesellschaftliche und sportliche Wirklichkeit, sondern konstruiert sie im Medium einer emotional wirkmachtigen Bildsprache gleichermaen mit.

Este libro traza una historia comparada de los cines nacionales de América Latina, en diez capítulos que cubren los principales periodos cinematográficos de la región, entre ellos el cine mudo, el cine de estudios, el neorrealismo, el cine de autor, el Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano y el cine contemporaneo. Schroeder Rodriguez incorpora un analisis de aproximadamente 50 peliculas a una narrativa de alto rigor academico y enmarcada por un persuasivo marco teorico de modernidades multiples. El resultado es una guia obligatoria que transforma la version heredada de la historia cultural de America Latina en los ultimos cien años, pues resalta la forma en que actores sociales como la Iglesia y el Estado han utilizado el poder del cine para definir la esfera publica y moldear nuevas identidades en un continente marcado por luchas continuas de liberacion y justicia social.

Pocos años después del desarrollo y popularización del cine, surgieron dos grandes tendencias que con el tiempo crearon la falsa dicotomía entre el documental y la ficción. Sin poder escapar de la naturaleza de la imagen fotografia, la imagen en movimiento dio lugar, de forma natural, a la creacion de formas narrativas ficcionales que se elaboraban a traves de representaciones objetivas de la realidad. Si bien de una manera reductiva, se percibian en el cine dos esferas opuestas que se plasmaban bien a traves un documento objetivo, bien por una narracion fruto de la imaginacion. En otras palabras, la contraposicion entre Lumiere y Melies. Sobre los efectos de las nuevas tecnologias. La trayectoria de Peter Watkins, iniciada en la decada de 1950, cuestiona esta falsa dicotomia y pone al desnudo la inmensa maquina de imaginario que se habia apoderado de la industria cinematografica y televisiva. Considerado como el padre del docudrama, Peter Watkins nos concede esta entrevista donde analiza su obra cinematografica y reflexiona.

La publicidad es una de las formas de comunicación más influyentes que existen. Sin embargo, es un ámbito sobre el que se reflexiona poco desde la ética. De modo que, cuan-do se hace, nos encontramos con quienes critican con contundencia a la publicidad por los valores consumistas que promueve, mientras que otros defienden a ultranza su papel economico. Posicionamientos encontrados que dejan poco espacio para la reflexion critica. Etica de la publicidad. Re-tos en la era digital busca abordar dicha reflexion atendiendo a las novedades existentes en la era digital y tecnologica. Unas novedades que presentan desafios eticos ligados, por un lado, a la consolidacion de disciplinas como el neuromarketing que prometen conocer la caja negra del consumidor y, por otro lado, al surgimiento de modelos alternativos de consumo y a la irrupcion de las TICs que favorecen que la ciudadania entre en un dialogo critico con la comunicacion publicitaria. Esta obra aborda estas tendencias desde la relacion existente entre la etica y la publicidad y al mismo tiempo revisa el peso especifico de asociaciones de consumidores, movimientos ciudadanos, nuevas herramientas de comunicacion, Autocontrol y destacadas campañas publicitarias.Ramon A.

¿Qué es el cine clásico? No trataremos aquí de establecer algunos "clásicos del cine" o de discutir un canon. Lo que este libro busca es interrogar ciertas formas, estilos y funciones que suelen, en el cine, considerarse clasicas, y que poseen una trayectoria por lo menos atipica. Mientras otras artes delineaban sus percepciones de lo moderno, el cine estabilizo, y a escala planetaria, ciertos modos de mostrar y narrar durante varias decadas. No pocos vieron en ello formas de un clasicismo iniciado por realizadores como David W. Griffith y mantenido hasta el presente en otros como Clint Eastwood, mientras que en su apogeo eran sostenidos y recreados por cineastas tan dispares como Fritz Lang o Raoul Walsh, por citar algunos de los aqui examinados.El largo debate sobre el cine clasico abarco posturas muy diversas, sumo partidarios y detractores entre realizadores, teoricos y criticos. No obstante, ese modo cinematografico se ha manifestado muy permeable, complejo y hasta paradojico en su estructura, asi como especialmente abierto al trafico fronterizo. Esos aspectos y formas insistentemente designadas como clasicas deben ser hoy reexaminadas a la luz de la aventura moderna que el cine encarna, a lo largo de su mas de un siglo de recorrido, en el mundo contemporaneo.

Film directors from East Asia frequently win top prizes at international film festivals, but in the West little is known about them nor about the cultures that produced them.It is not all martial arts, flying warriors, historical pageants and tea ceremonies. China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and North and South Korea went through periods of great political turmoil and rapid modernisation in the 20th century. The films of these countries reflect these changes and the conflicts between modern lifestyles and traditional values. In some cases it is capitalism versus communism, in others materialism versus spiritual concerns.This book provides an ideal reference work on all the major directors, with details of their films and checklists for the films of each country, useful for both ardent fan and serious student alike. It explores the common cultural heritage of the countries and their mutual influence. The films of China, Japan and Korea, for example, reflect their shared Buddhist and Confucian heritage. The films of China and North Korea are conditioned by Communist ideology. Early Korean cinema was dominated by the effects of Japanese colonial domination, and the Japanese cinema greatly influenced that of Taiwan.

From the very beginnings of cinema in America the Western has been a central genre. The hazardous lives of the settlers, their conflict with Native Americans (the Indians), the lawless frontier towns, outlaws and cattle rustlers, all found their way into the new medium of film. Folk heroes and heroines, such as Jesse and Frank James, Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley, were all eagerly seized on by filmmakers. Writers, from the very popular to the very literary, from Zane Grey to Owen Wister and James Fennimore Cooper, were plundered for storylines. The Western became popular worldwide too because it offered escape, adventure, stunning landscapes and romance; also themes that concerned people everywhere including survival, law and order, defence of family, and dreams of a new and better world.David Carters book, The Western, starts with an introduction to the real American West and its famous historical figures, and traces the development of the genre from popular literature, through the early silent films, the sound era, the Golden Age of classic Westerns, TV and spaghetti westerns, to the self-reflexive and revisionist Westerns of recent decades. This book provides a basic work of reference for all the major directors and noteworthy films of the genre. The great Hollywood directors are all here, such as John Ford, Howard Hawks, Raoul Walsh, Michael Curtiz, Sam Peckinpah and Henry Hathaway, and great stars including John Wayne, James Stewart, Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, Jane Russell and Clint Eastwood.

Este livro é dedicado a seu idealizador original, alguém cuja obra cinematográfica motivou as primeiras iniciativas do projeto: o cineasta e professor Nuno Cesar Abreu. Golpe de Vista: Cinema e Ditadura Militar na America do Sul nasce como ideia em 2014, a partir de conversas de Nuno com seus colegas no Departamento de Cinema (Decine) da Unicamp.O livro surge assim motivado pelos 25 anos do filme Corpo em Delito (1989), longa-metragem escrito e dirigido por Nuno e que representa o "canto do cisne" da hoje extinta Embrafilme, a Empresa Brasileira de Filmes. Corpo em Delito foi o ultimo filme produzido e distribuido pela Embrafilme, um drama protagonizado pelo ator Lima Duarte, o qual interpreta um medico legista a serviço do regime e que, num dado momento, depara-se com o corpo da propria filha assassinada pela represso. Narrado de forma semi-linear, o filme atravessa um arco temporal razoavelmente longo que conta as transformaçes da ditadura militar brasileira entre 1964 e 1985, ao mesmo tempo em que dramatiza o conflito do medico, civil a margem do poder, incrustado entre a sobrevivencia e a dor da perda decorrente das mazelas politicas que se abateram sobre o pais. Um filme que pe em perspectiva, a um so tempo, Historia e historia, as dimenses macro e micro, a frieza das instituiçes e o desamparo do individuo.
