Dark Recesses In The House Of Hammer

91,56€ + 10% CARD

 Twenty years after Universal horror movies, the Hammer studio brought back to life the great mythical figures inspired from British literature as well as French and European folklore (Dracula, Frankenstein, the Werewolf, the Phantom of the Opera, etc.). It invented new incarnations rooted in a precise historical context and revisited according to the evolution of British society. This independent studio constitutes a notable stage in the history of the genre between the Gothic horror of the 1930s and the more radical productions of the 1970s, which eventually contributed to its demise. Focusing on the peculiar balance between Hammers inventiveness and classicism, this volume mainly explores the lesser-known productions, examining as well its contradictions, paradoxes and limitations. The book raises the question of the paradoxical modernity of films that are innovative in various respects (themes, modes of representation challenging censorship, aesthetics), but are also trying to resurrect a dying tradition, mostly offering a rather surprisingly conservative discourse despite their efforts to comply with the expectations of new audiences. The films born from the recent Hammer renaissance are still referring to this bygone Golden Age of the horror film. One may wonder whether the Hammer studio was a mere factory churning out mostly conventional horror films now buried in the dust of a gothic dungeon, or a true laboratory of modern cinematic horror whose past glory still inspires contemporary filmmakers. This volume will provide some answers and raise quite a few questions.

More Than Fifteen Minutes Of Fame - The Changing Face Of Screen Performance

by Ken Miller

104,01€ + 10% CARD

 More than Fifteen Minutes of Fame tracks screen performances trajectory from dominant discourses of realism and authenticity towards increasingly acute degrees of self-referentiality and self-reflexivity. Exploring the symbiotic relationship between changing forms of onscreen representation and our shifting status as social subjects, the book provides an original perspective through international examples from cinema, experimental production, documentary, television, and the burgeoning landscape of online screen performance. In an emerging culture of participatory media, the creation of a screen-based presence for our own performances of identity has become a currency through which we validate ourselves as subjects of the contemporary, hyper-mediatized world. In this post-dramatic, post-Warhol climate, the authors contention is that we are becoming increasingly wedded to screen media not just as consumers but as producers and performers.

Kieslowski'S Decalogue - Broken Commandments, Shattered Lives

by Philip Sicker

~~84,80€~~ 76,32€ 10% OFF

 Written and produced under martial law in 1980s Communist Poland, Krzysztof Kielowskis Decalogue presents a collective portrait of a demoralized nation populated by gloomy individualists" who respond to other people with antagonism or indifference. Feeling betrayed by a history of brutal invasions, the series characters struggle to cast off a legacy of a bitterness that has arisen because their national hopes have been so frequently shattered. Yet the central questions that animate The Decalogue are not political but ethical and ontological: How should one live? And why should one live at all in an atomized civilization? In exploring these questions in relation to the Ten Commandments, the series unifying principle is, paradoxically, disintegration: Kielowskis protagonists break the Commandments in a fractured world drained of meaning. Disintegration functions as a multidimensional principlemoral, historical, social, and psychologicalinforming The Decalogues conception, organization, and style. In analyzing these features the study draws on a wide range of philosophical, literary and psychoanalytic inter-texts.

Littérature Et Écrans - Expansions De Ladaptation

by Jessy Neau

~~79,50€~~ 71,55€ 10% OFF

 À lère de la métamorphose des médias et de lexpansion vertigineuse des univers fictionnels, le concept traditionnel dadaptation littéraire semble dépassé. Des notions comme la transmédialité ou la transfictionnalité paraissent plus à même de saisir les subtilités du passage des textes vers les écrans et de lextension continue des récits. Pourtant, cest peut-être dans sa capacité à embrasser une multitude de formes de reprises, à la fois intertextuelles et transmédiatiques, que ladaptation demeure un outil précieux pour décrypter les liens entre les arts. Cet ouvrage explore la présence renouvelée de la littérature dans les images animées, du grand écran aux séries télévisées, en passant par les jeux vidéo et les plateformes numériques. Il examine les multiples « expansions » de ladaptation : comment les oeuvres dialoguent entre elles dans un foisonnement créatif, comment les nouveaux médias révolutionnent les possibilités de reprise fictionnelle, et comment ladaptation stimule limaginaire des lecteurs et des spectateurs.

Images-Lucioles - Le Cinéma Européen Entre Communisme Et Christianisme (19601975)

by Aurel Rotival

~~98,05€~~ 88,25€ 10% OFF

 La plaie par balle dune ouvrière agricole en lutte se transforme en stigmate ; les espèces fi guratives du calvaire christique accompagnent la répression dun leader de la décolonisation ; des scènes de rassemblement politique convoquent un schème communiel directement hérité de la messe catholique Entre 1960 et 1975, plusieurs cinéastes dobédience communiste ont emprunté leurs themes et leurs motifs à la théologie, à liconographie et à la liturgie chrétiennes. Au confl uent de deux grandes traditions de lespérance, une telle constellation révèle la récurrence, à cette époque, dun paradigme historico-esthétique dont les lucioles de Pier Paolo Pasolini fournissent la matrice allégorique : singularités anthropologiques et étincelles archaïques qui résistent aux attaques du capitalisme mondialisé. Face aux acculturations bourgeoises, aux pulsions totalitaires et aux menaces nucléaires, cest avec le salut religieux que ces marxistes hérétiques ont dû penser lémancipation des peuples.

What Makes A Film Tick? - Cinematic Affect, Materiality And Mimetic Innervation

by Anne Rutherford

66,12€ + 10% CARD

 This book offers a close study of how film produces sensory-affective experience for the spectator. It argues that we must explore this affective dimension if we want to understand how cinema takes up cultural or thematic issues. Examining cinematic affect through close readings of how affective immersion in cinema works to engage viewers with history, memory and cultural specificity, it deals with both fiction film and documentary. Taking an international perspective, it includes case studies of Korean detective film, classical Japanese cinema, modern Greek cinema, independent American cinema, Indian documentary, Australian television documentary, Indonesian political docudrama, avantgarde French documentary and Australian Indigenous film. Rutherford draws on the analysis of embodied affect to revise many of the foundational concepts of film studies. Drawing on Miriam Hansens readings of Walter Benjamin and Siegfried Kracauer, the book explores the capacity of film to produce experiences in which the boundaries between the spectator and the film become porous and the viewer is transported in a heightened way into the film.
