Presentamos una de las producciones más notables del cine argentino de este siglo. Tras la trilogía de Salta, Zama reafirma ampliamente el talento de Lucrecia Martel, en un filme que narra la Historia no solo de un lugar recondito del Rio de la Plata, sino de toda Latinoamerica, con una voz nunca antes escuchada en nuestro cine. Soslayando el discurso historico tantas veces manejado por instancias abierta o solapadamente oficiales, Zama recoge momentos del mundo colonial hispanoamericano en un siglo XVIII vivido dia tras dia y donde el protagonista epitomiza a un ser colonizado. El penetrante estudio de Alexis Yannopoulos expone con gran claridad, para aquellos poco familiarizados con el siglo XVIII hispanoamericano, el marco sociohistorico y geografico en que se situa la pelicula. A continuacion, analiza en detalle los mecanismos del relato historico para demostrar como el filme de Martel los subvierte o abandona para construir una vision mas enriquecedora de la Historia. Por ultimo, el autor coteja con minuciosidad el texto de Antonio Di Benedetto y establece paralelos significativos entre la obra fuente, producto de un gran visionario, y el relato cinematografico, que le da nuevo cuerpo, forma y color.

Este libro analiza con rigor y profundidad el fenómeno de la relacionalidad, y lo proyecta con particular detalle desde la que todavía puede considerarse como una nouvelle disciplina: la filosofía y el cine. Como obra filosofica emblematica se toma Ich und Du (Yo y Tu), de Martin Buber, que data de 1923, y cuya lectura permite abrirnos a la autentica realidad del otro, y al Tu por excelencia: al misterio de Dios, uno y trino. La persona no es la relacion, pero se manifiesta como tal en la relacion (actual o posible). En lo que hace referencia al cine, cabe afirmar que continua latiendo el deseo de amar no a un ente abstracto, sino a una persona, al otro: pasar de un estado de aislamiento a una comprension integradora del 'nosotros', con su potencial transformador de hacernos mejores. La sociedad actual se caracteriza por combinar de un modo paradojico una hiperconectividad universal con un aislamiento que engendra soledad. Establecer relaciones verdaderas, en un mundo dominado por la virtualidad tecnologica y el hedonismo, es condicion de posibilidad para alcanzar una relacionalidad plena.

El presente trabajo estudia, por un lado, la representación de las dos protagonistas de La aventura de Antonioni, identificando los medios cinematográficos concretos a través de los cuales se construyen sus subjetividades y las implicaciones simbolicas que de ellos se derivan.

El detenido de esta historia, al igual que Alfred Hitchcock, arrastra un trauma: el terror al sexo y a la Policía. Historia de un equívoco, el de la detención de un joven acusado de propaganda ilegal a finales de septiembre de 1975, hecho con el que arranca la novela. Inocente como se sabe, el temor a los interrogatorios de la Politico-Social presiden el relato de esta novela negra centrada en un sector de la juventud del final de la dictadura, sus ilusiones de cambio y expectativas personales cuyo ambiente recrea. Cronica social y politica de una epoca ademas de la historia de una pasion amorosa y una frustracion planteada a traves de cuatro personajes: el inspector de la BPS, y otros dos jovenes del circulo del detenido, un chico y una chica que han dinamitado convencionalismo s y tabues pe ro que siembran la sombra de la duda en el joven detenido en comisaria. Sin ser una obra cinefila, la historia presenta inevitables referencias con el cine en general y con Hitchcock ( y Bergman) en particular. Como era obligado, la novela presenta un final sorpresivo. Cine y Memoria democratica en un maridaje muy bien avenido.

There are many miles from the business school and basketball court at the University of Southern California to 50 million viewers for the final episode of a TV show called Magnum P.I. Tom Selleck has lived every one of those miles in his own iconoclastic and joyful way. Frank, funny and open-hearted, You Never Know is an intimate memoir from a beloved actor, the story of a remarkable life and thoroughly accidental career. Journey to the top in Hollywood, learn of his mistakes and his well-earned success. Selleck clears up an armload of misconceptions and shares never-told stories. His rambunctious California childhood. His clueless arrival as a good-looking college jock in Hollywood (from the Dating Game to the Fox New Talent Program to co-starring with Mae West). What it was like to emerge as a mega-star in his mid-thirties and remain so for decades to come, an actor whose ease on screen connected with audiences worldwide, while redefining the cliches of manhood. In You Never Know, Selleck recounts his personal friendships with a vivid army of A-listers, everyone from Frank Sinatra to Carol Burnett to Sam Elliott, paying special tribute to his mentor James Garner of The Rockford Files, who believed, like Selleck, that TV protagonists are far more interesting when they have rough edges. He tips his hat to the American western and the scruffy band of actors, directors and other ruffians who helped define that classic genre, where Selleck has repeatedly found a happy home. Magnum fans will be fascinated to learn how Selleck put his career on the line to make Thomas Magnum a more imperfect hero and explains why he walked away from a show that could easily have gone on for years longer.
