Abstract:
Postcards are prominent throughout Varda’s oeuvre and she has displayed parts of her postcard collections on several occasions in her films and video installations. Her movie in which postcards play the most important narrative role is One Sings, the Other Doesn’t (1976). As researchers in the field of postcard studies have pointed out, postcards are not only a means of communication, but also a sign of life or a confirmation of friendship, as well as a souvenir or a gift. The objective of this article is to reflect on how the self-contained episodes in some of Varda’s later non-fiction films,

This article contemplates the way Northern and Southern California have been used in science fiction films since the 1970s. Continuing a trend the author traces to the 1940s novels Earth Abides and Ape and Essence, Northern California represents possible utopian futures while Southern California represents dystopia. The article includes a photo essay featuring science fiction film stills held up against their filming locations in Los Angeles and the Bay Area.

Abstract:
At the intersection of cybernetics and phenomenology, the body already operates as an interface between mind and experience, but in contemporary science fiction and horror, the body is also narrated as a site of exploration and transfiguration through which an interface with an electronically-based postmodern experience is inscribed. The obsessive restaging of the refiguration of the body posits a constant redefinition of the subject through the multiple superimposition of bio-technological apparatuses. In this epoch of human obsolescence, however, a remarkably consistent imaging/imagining of

Artykuł „Kartki” Tadeusza Różewicza opisuje prozę pisarza z perspektywy „kartek” jako formuły kompozycyjno-warsztatowej, związanej jednak ściśle z jego praktyką autobiograficzną.

Public perception about infectious diseases, science, and public health policies can be affected by exposure to related works of art, including film, and may modify one's actions during a pandemic. An increasing number of fiction films and documentaries are inspired from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Major narratives include: the inadequate early response of governments and international organizations, the heroic actions of healthcare practitioners, the social effect of lockdown (both as a spirit-raising inducer of togetherness and as a disproportionately harsh burden on minorities and underprivile

Abstract:
Abstract Within early non-fiction film, the Italian travel or scenic films of the 1910s may be considered the most picturesque. They are remarkable for their presentation of landscapes and cityscapes, their co-existence of modernity and nostalgia, their accent on beauty – at times at the expense of geographic veracity and indexicality – and their focus on the transformed gaze through the use of special masks, split-screens, and other devices. The transmedial roots for this aestheticization can be found both in art (painting) and popular culture (postcards, magic lanterns, etc.). While the auth

This paper explores how Bucharest’s cinema-going public perceived the Nazi influence on Hollywood in the 1930s. The aim is to identify how Nazi propaganda was disseminated and consumed in interwar Bucharest and its similarities to the idea of glamour, relevant both to fashion and cinema. Considering the links between Goebbels’ propaganda machine and certain entities or individuals in Hollywood, US cinematography becomes a more complex medium of dissemination beyond a mere promoter of modernity’s technological and consumerist ideas.

ABSTRACT: This article examines the circulation of Topsy from Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin in Australian popular culture during the early-to-mid twentieth century. From playing with Topsy dolls to watching white actresses impersonating Topsy on stage, white Australians of all ages engaged with various iterations of Topsy and attached new meaning to the fictional character. Drawing from newspaper articles, photographs, postcards, and other archival material, I argue that white Australians used Topsy to make sense of Aboriginal children within the larger settler colonial context of

Abstract:
<p> This thesis argues that modern, post-apocalyptic science fiction functions as a projected analysis of the author&rsquo;s contemporary world. This insight is used to chart the historical trajectory of the spread of automaticity, the reduction of objects, and the loss of historical memory. The Introduction introduces readers to both the literary and critical histories of science fiction, contextualizing the worlds that George R. Stewart, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Margaret Atwood write in. Chapter One analyzes George R. Stewart&rsquo;s 1949 novel Earth Abides, using it to demonstrate how the gro

Abstract I have previously argued that both official British discourse and British popular sentiment articulated Germany’s invasion of Belgium and its air raids on England as a violation of the proper spatial organization of war: civilians, according to this English view, were supposed to occupy safe havens, soldiers were supposed to occupy war zones, and the two kinds of space were not supposed to intersect. Thus Germany’s invasion of a neutral country and its shelling of British civilian targets were both condemned as transgressions of this spatial organization, but it was the “rape of Belgi

This chapter focuses on protecting literature by suppressing pulp. After the war, the police, courts, and Customs contended with a growing market for pornographic magazines and dirty postcards, and with the moral threat presented by American pulp. A new generation of comic books from the United States resulted in new powers to confiscate printed matter, and American gangster fiction and knockoffs by British writers were subjected to serial prosecutions. The new regulations were put on hold when the government went into caretaker mode for the 1945 general election. The chapter also expounds on

This chapter frames the work of Gábor Bódy within Hungarian avantgarde cinema.

It then highlights linkages between the film cultural activities of Lajos Kassák, the editor of the interwar journal MA, and Bódy’s function as an overall organizer of interdisciplinary film culture at the Balázs Béla Studio some fifty years later.
