Smith, Dori Marie. "Lyric Possession: A Dramatization of Italian Tarantism in Song." Diss., The University of Arizona, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/560813.
Full textAbstract:
Lyric Possession: A Dramatization of Italian Tarantism in Song is a one-act creative project informed by research exploring the formation and evolution of Mediterranean musical, religious, and cultural identity through the practice of the tarantella. The tarantella is a musical form woven into the very fabric of the Mediterranean cultural landscape, in song, dance and folkloric history. The transformation of scholarly perspectives into dramatic format, recalling traditional Italian folk drama, illuminates the history and cultural relevance of the tarantella through the lives and songs of its practitioners. In the Salentine peninsula where magic and religion collide, the ritualistic healing practice of the tarantella has served as a musical mechanism for dealing with reactions to socio-cultural issues such as repression of sexual identity, disenfranchisement, poverty and powerlessness experienced by Southern Italian women for centuries. Believed to have been a reaction to the venom of the indigenous Italian tarantula or wolf spider, peasant women in the Salentine peninsula exhibited poisoning-like symptoms and possession by spider spirits cured only through the performance of the tarantella and through the intercession of St. Paul, the patron saint of those who perform the tarantella, the tarantists. The purpose of this study is twofold. First, to examine the musical manifestations of the Tarantella as informed by its folkloric history, particularly in consideration of gender marginalization and female power. Second, to create a musical drama that portrays the music of the tarantella in a dramatic context that will reflect its folkloric history, scholarship by the anthropological, ethnomusicological and psychological communities in the form of the ritual itself. The project proposes that the complex, multifaceted history of the tarantella may best be captured and expressed through practice via a recreation of the ritual in the form of a musical drama.

Full textAbstract:
The films of Quentin Tarantino have held a significant influence on modern cinema, and therefore on cinema studies. As such, studies on the social and philosophical implications of his work have appeared over the years, mostly in regards to content. However, with the exception of references to his use of cinematic violence, studies of his technique—i.e., his cinematic style—have been rare, and rarer still have been studies of the social implications that arise from the patterns of his style as well as those his subject matter.
The following thesis seeks to use the concept of Auteur Theory—specifically, that Tarantino is the primary artist of the films directed by him—to propose that a specific artistic style conveys a specific worldview: namely, that the artistic choices made by the director, in content and technique, can and do convey a viewpoint regarding “real life” and the world.
Specifically, this work will culminate in analyzing and determining tenants to be gleaned from the Tarantino canon regarding issues of justice, both on an individual and societal basis. With his focus on crime—again, both societal and individual—Tarantino makes commentary on societal breakdown; the audience’s emotional support (or lack thereof) for characters and their actions corresponds with identification, and therefore draws real-life parallels. Such refers to the concept of “Realism”, which will be discussed in detail.
Further, Tarantino’s trend of recycling elements from prior films refers to artistic “Postmodernism”—use of “pastiche” and sampling to create a “new” work. The thesis will analyze the value and meaning of the major samplings in Tarantino’s films—particularly in regards to genre--and concludes that, far from a simple conglomeration, a Tarantino “Genre-Blender” forms a cohesive whole, oriented towards specific impact of the audience.
From the above two issues of Realism and Postmodernism in art, and establishing the existence of a cohesive artistic vision in Tarantino’s work, this thesis identifies patterns in such that identify specific viewpoints on questions of “Good”, “Evil”, and “Justice”. Key to this is the dichotomy between objective principles and subjectivity in human interaction amid the applications of principles. Tarantino’s work conveys a belief in certain objective tenants; however, the applications that arise through interaction cause complications, arising through human limitations in perspective.
The ultimate purpose of this study is to link studies of social implications of film to not merely content, but in choices in cinematic style. It is a contribution at once to studies of film and to studies of artistic theory (in particular Realism and Postmodernism), using both to analyze how a specific, popular, mainstream artist reflects a worldview through the sensibilities that are channeled in creating his works.

Previous issue date: 2013-08-28<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>Cinephilia founds its place during the 1950s from the Heirs of Bazinian critical approach. The
interest of young cinephiles as François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard in living a life around
movies ended up in the creation of a new culture, which led to a special study of cinema, a
policy of legitimizing movies and auteurs and a closer look at the mise en scène. Moreover,
the importance of collective view and sociability to the flourishing cinephile, just like the
presence of a certain fetish and practices and habits around the theater. Based on the concepts
of cinephilia and its historical overview presented by the critic and researcher Antoine de
Baecque, this work has as one of its objectives to look for distinctions between what is meant
by cinephile for over fifty years and what is meant by cinephile today. Nowadays, media and
communication amplify and make even more complex the relationship of the viewer with
images, now subjected to a whole range of devices which are perfect for the mastery of the
spectacle. Now films have to compete with the “all-image”, a term used by the media in the
1970s. Secondly, this work observes, through filmic analysis, manifestations of cinephilia in
Quentin Tarantino’s last films, as well as its relationship with the “all-image”.<br>A cinefilia encontrou seu lugar no cinema a partir dos anos 1950. Herdeiros do olhar crítico
baziniano, o interesse de jovens como François Truffaut e Jean-Luc Godard em se entregar a

erudição própria do cinema, uma política de legitimação de filmes e autores, um olhar atento
para a mise en scène, além de um certo fetiche e práticas e hábitos em torno da sala de
cinema, do ver coletivo, a sociabilidade tão importante para o florescimento cinéfilo. Partindo
dos conceitos de cinefilia e de seu apanhado histórico apresentado pelo crítico e pesquisador
Antoine de Baecque, este trabalho tem como um de seus objetivos apontar distinções entre o
que se entendia por cinéfilo há mais de cinquenta anos e o que se entende por cinéfilo hoje,
tempo em que a mídia e a comunicação ampliam e problematizam a relação do espectador
com as imagens, agora submetidas a todo um conjunto de aparatos ideal para a manifestação e
domínio do espetáculo, fazendo com que o cinema dispute lugar com o que as mídias
setentistas passaram a se referir como “tudo-imagem”. Num segundo momento, pretende
observar, por meio da análise fílmica, as manifestações da(s) cinefilia(s) no cinema de
Quentin Tarantino, cineasta autoral contemporâneo, assim como sua relação com o “tudoimagem”.

One such use is to identify an individual or place having relevant properties of the bearer of another name (e.g. We make Singapore Boston of the East or Paul Grootboom is the Tarantino of the townships). The examples make sense only if we know the source referents (Boston and Tarantino) and then establish a metaphorical relationship with the target referents (Singapore and Paul Grootboom). Thus, names are used as an economical way of referring to the transferred properties which are associated with the name bearer. Metaphors in general are selective and highlight particular aspects of the source and target referents while hiding others. Based on a survey including examples from multiple sources and informants with diff erent backgrounds, I want to explore some of the issues that metaphorically used names raise. In particular, I show that a cultural dimension is refl ected a) in the use of local or non-local source referents and b) in the knowledge about the source referent that is evoked in a given discourse context.

Esta análise privilegia um enfoque relacionado à estrutura narrativa articulada pelo roteiro, que subverte a ordem linear da apresentação dos fatos da história. Ao fazer isso, o roteirista, ao mesmo tempo em que redimensiona o sentido de cenas que não encontrariam espaço se a evolução da história se desse de forma linear, garante a dinâmica exigida pelo gênero ao qual o roteiro se inscreve, sem abrir mão da inclinação verborrágica que caracteriza seu trabalho.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the critical response to Quentin Tarantino’s representations of screen violence, primarily the violent content in his three revenge thrillers: Kill Bill (2003-4), Inglourious Basterds (2009), and Django Unchained (2012). Throughout Tarantino’s career, critics have attacked him for aestheticizing bloodshed to such a degree that it becomes a glib, pop culture affectation, and the empirically larger amounts of violent content in the revenge thrillers has only encouraged this claim. This paper argues for a recontextualization of how Tarantino wields brutality throughout these three pictures, that the rise in graphic content reflects a greater engagement with social-moral concerns in a manner that is both socially responsible – to echo Susan Sontag’s views on visual representations of violence in Regarding the Pain of Others (2003) – and creatively consistent among those artists looking to retain their cultural significance as they age.

Full textAbstract:
Martin Scorsese's films, GOODFELLAS and CASINO, and Quentin Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS and PULP FICTION are examined to determine if the crime film of the 1990s has become increasingly more in the style of film noir. The differences and similarities between the two crime films each director has either written or co-written in the 1990s are delineated to demonstrate this trend. Other crime films of the latter 1990s (SEVEN, THE USUAL SUSPECTS, and MULHOLLAND FALLS) are also examined to aid in defining the latest incarnation of the crime film as "Noir Modernist," a term that is demonstrated to be a more accurate description for the current crime films than B.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the insults in Quentin Tarantino’s films and their translation into Spanish. The insults in Tarantino’s films can be considered very interesting from a social point of view as I have gradually developed during this research.
First, I have highlighted the possible problems when translating insults into Spanish. Secondly, I have provided the reader with specific examples in English of the insults collected from the seven films I have analysed [Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill vol. I and II, Death Proof and Inglorious Basterds]. Finally, my intention was to demonstrate that the level of swearing in Spanish was inferior by showing the translation of these insults in Spanish as they appeared in the films.
Then, I divided my work into two sections, the first one being theoretical: Quentin Tarantino (chapter 1); Characterization of Swearwords (chapter 2); and Translation Studies: The Singularity of Audiovisual Translation (chapter 3), where I have presented the theory to support the conclusions drawn in the second part; and the second one practical: Description and Methodology (chapter 4); and Analysis and Results (chapter 5). I have divided chapter 5 into two (sub) sections. In the first one, “Analysis of the Insults in Quentin Tarantino: An Initial Typology”, I have presented the insults culled in seven of Tarantino’s films and have classified them into twelve categories: (1) sex related; (2) excrement and human waste; (3) body parts; (4) religious; (5) incest; (6) prostitution; (7) racist; (8) cross-categorized; (9) physically or mentally disabled; (10) bodily functions ; (11) animal related; and (12) homophobic insults. In the second sub-section, ‘Case Study: Sex-Related Insults in Quentin Tarantino and Their Translation into Spanish’, I have focused on the sex-related insults and more specifically, on the most frequently repeated expletive, f-word and its morphological variants, alongside its translation into Spanish. This second part of my study, thus, will illustrate the results obtained during my research.
Regarding methodology, I first culled all insults found in the original version of the seven films of Tarantino I have based my data on [Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill vol. I and II, Death Proof and Inglorious Basterds], briefly mentioning four of the most critically acclaimed films within which he has had an important input on, but not directed: True Romance, Natural Born Killers, From Dusk Till Dawn and Sin City; secondly, I selected the ones which appeared more frequently, the sex-related ones, and have compared them with the sex-related insults in the Spanish dubbed versions.
It is important to mention that I encountered 1526 examples of bad words in Tarantino’s work, which I organized in 1117 tables.
In order to complete my work, I dealt with issues such as taboo behaviour and obscenity, which include sex, death, bodily functions, specific emotions, racism, and religion. Then, I introduced the concept of swearing, and explored possible causes for it: social, linguistic, and psychological reasons.
I have dealt with questions related to the discipline of translation studies, and the problems with the translation of swearwords in films in order to apply it to Tarantino’s work. From a linguistic perspective the defining characteristic of Tarantino’s films is his ability to introduce bawdy language in every film bypassing American censorship. Therefore, I felt that it would be important to discover whether this phenomenon also takes place in the Spanish translation, or whether censorship and self-censorship would be applied following the government’s regulations of bygone eras whose influence might, nevertheless, still be felt implicitly or explicitly in the present.<br>Quentin Tarantino, representante del cine moderno independiente, se hizo popular con su opera prima, Reservoir Dogs, estrenada por primera vez en 1992. Dos años más tarde, obtuvo la Palme D’Or en el Festival de Cannes con su segunda película, Pulp Fiction. Después de tres años de ausencia, dirigió una de las cuatros historias de Four Rooms, film dirigido junto con Allison Anders, Alexandre Rockwell y Robert Rodríguez. En 1997, Tarantino realizó un film basado en la novela de Elmore Leonard (Rum Punch, 1992), llamado Jackie Brown. Durante 2003 y 2004, el director norteamericano estrenó los dos volúmenes de Kill Bill (I y II). En el año 2007, estrenaba Grindhouse: Death Proof y, finalmente, en el 2009 Tarantino presentó la que es su última película en el Festival de Cannes, Malditos bastardos. De estas siete películas se deriva el corpus sobre el cual he basado mi trabajo: un análisis de los insultos que aparecen en los siete filmes dirigidos por el cineasta norteamericano, Quentin Tarantino, y cómo estos insultos han sido traducidos (doblados) del inglés al español prestando especial atención a aquellos que más se repiten: los insultos sexuales.
La conexión entre Tarantino y los insultos se establece desde que el cineasta estrenara su primera obra, ya que introdujo un número bastante significativo de lenguaje soez y no ha cesado de hacerlo desde que emprendiera su carrera cinematográfica. Como resultado, ha hecho de su manera de trabajar un campo peculiar y extremadamente interesante desde el punto de vista académico.

Full textAbstract:
Följande uppsats kommer att fokusera på relationen mellan Quentin Tarantino och blaxploitation, och syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida Tarantino väljer att representera sina svarta kvinnliga huvudkaraktärer annorlunda i sina blaxploitation-influerade filmer Jackie Brown (1997) och Django Unchained (2012) i jämförelse med representationen av svarta kvinnliga huvudkaraktärer i två av de mest kända blaxploitationfilmerna från 1970-talet, Coffy (1973) och Foxy Brown (1974). Den grundläggande teorin för uppsatsen är den feministiska filmteorin, men andra texter som berör representationen av kvinnor och specifikt svarta kvinnor på film är lika väsentliga. Mitt tillvägagångssätt för att besvara uppsatsens frågeställningar är att genom närläsning av de utvalda filmerna samt deras respektive kvinnliga karaktärer, med understöd av relevant litteratur och teorier, göra en jämförande analys. Slutresultatet visar att Tarantino i och med filmen Jackie Brown lyckas utveckla den svarta och starka kvinnliga karaktären från blaxploitation dock utan att föra vidare undergenrens problematiska sexualisering av kvinnokroppen. Däremot lyckas han inte lika bra i samband med Django Unchained, där den kvinnliga, ofta hjälplösa, huvudkaraktären främst visas som antingen någonting vackert eller någon som plågas för andras njutning.

formales audiovisuales que conforman la estética del cine en relación con la violencia
representada en dos obras cinematográficas: Inglourious Basterds (2009) y Django

Esto surge a partir de un interés particular por los intensos, inagotables y diferentes
modos de retratar la violencia en el cine a lo largo de su historia, originando obras tan
diversas como las apreciaciones que se hacen de ellas: hay quienes la encuentran
atractiva y otros para quienes es repulsiva.
El director de cine Quentin Tarantino es un gran expositor de esta temática en el cine
contemporáneo; sus tramas siempre dan lugar a conflictos físicos entre sus personajes
que conllevan a un espectáculo de sangre y muerte con un tratamiento audiovisual
característico que requiere el dominio y la planificación de diversas áreas en la
realización cinematográfica.
Esta investigación se ha formulado para analizar estas áreas desde la perspectiva
estética; es decir, desde la dirección de fotografía y la dirección de arte, con el apoyo del
sonido y del montaje para determinar que cada aspecto elaborado desde cada área
audiovisual crea en conjunto una representación estetizada de la violencia en las dos
películas mencionadas; es decir, la violencia, cultural y convencionalmente “fea”, pasa a
ser audiovisual y sensorialmente atractiva.<br>Tesis

Full textAbstract:
S'il est bien un espace « à travers quoi les sociétés se parlent » (N. Burch, G. Sellier, 2009 : 22), c'est bien celui du cinéma. Ce média est une activité sociale, culturellement spécifique et éminemment « constructiviste » (M. Coulomb-Gully, 2011 : 10), notamment en terme de construction de Genre. La filmographie de Quentin Tarantino qui couvre plus de vingt ans de cinéma international, nous a semblé poser avec acuité la question du Genre. Nous nous sommes donc proposée, dans un premier temps de notre travail de recherche, d'analyser les sept premiers longs métrages du réalisateur américain afin d'apporter une réponse à notre premier axe de problématique : quelles représentations des féminités et des masculinités et de quel clivage entre féminités et masculinités le cinéma de Quentin Tarantino fait-il état pour nous ? Mais attendu qu'aller voir un film est un acte au cours duquel « une conscience s'approprie une autre conscience selon des modalités très personnelles » (A. Brochu, 2004 : 16), nous avons voulu mettre en tension notre propre lecture de ce cinéma avec celles d'autres spectateurs et spectatrices afin de répondre à la seconde partie de notre problématique : que voient les spectateurs et spectatrices de ces films des féminités et des masculinités dans ce cinéma ? Pour ce faire, nous avons procédé à des entretiens compréhensifs auprès de huit spectateurs et spectatrices. Nous avons ensuite analysé le matériau discursif recueilli à partir duquel nous avons dressé des portraits. Ces derniers nous ont permis d'éprouver combien « ce sont, in fine, les spectateurs qui donnent sens au film » (G. Sellier ; 2009 : 10). L'analyse transversale de ces discours nous a permis de questionner les corps, le sexe et les sexualités, les dominations, le Genre dans le processus de réception mais également le contexte sexué de l'enquête<br>If there is indeed an area “through which societies communicate” (N. Burgh, G.Sellier, 2009 : 22), this is definitely the one of cinema. This media is a social activity that is culturally specific and strongly “constructivist” (M. Coulomb-Gully, 2011 : 10) particularly when one talks about Gender Construction. Quentin Tarantino’s filmography which covers more than twenty years of international cinema seemed to be relevant to ask ourselves the question of gender with acuteness. So as a first step of our research work, we attempted to analyze the first seven full-length feature films of this American director in order to bring an answer to our first line of research of the general problematics: which representations of femininities and masculinities and which split between femininities and masculinities do Quentin Tarantino’s movies state for us?Still, if we consider that going to the movies is an act during which “a consciousness takes another consciousness over according to very personal means” (A.Brochu, 2004 : 16), we decided to confront our own interpretation of Tarantino’s movies with other male or female moviegoers for the purpose of answering the second part of our problematics : what do male and female moviegoers see of the femininities and masculinities present in these films? To that end, we carried out comprehensive one-to-one interviews of eight male and female moviegoers. Then, we collected and analyzed their speeches which helped us to produce their portraits. These latter enabled us to experience how much “the moviegoers are ultimately the ones who give sense to a movie” (G.Sellier; 2009 : 10).The cross-cutting analysis of these speeches allowed us to question bodies, sex and sexualities, dominations, gender through the reception process but also the gender-related context of this survey

The theory of film music and its terms and categories have not yet been applied to or tested in more recent genres of film, and this study tests the application of the terms auteur and melomane in the films of Robert Rodriguez (Once Upon A Time In Mexico, Sin City and Planet Terror) and Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill V. 1 and 2, Death Proof). Both directors have a distinct musical stance, and through an examination of the above-mentioned films, their influences and sonic impact are explored.
The working question of this thesis, in the abstract, is whether or to what extent the terms, concepts and directorial categories of film-music theory apply to this recent repertoire. This study explores the similarities and differences in the relationship between the music in the films of the auteur and melomane while exploring the fields of musical narrative present in contemporary film.

Full textAbstract:
« Seuls ceux qui ont connu Auschwitz savent ce que c’était. Les autres ne le sauront jamais. » Cette vérité proclamée par Élie Wiesel résume à elleseule l’impossibilité de se représenter ce qu’ont enduré les victimes du nazisme, qu’elles soient juives, tziganes, homosexuelles ou opposantespolitiques. En effet si l’on ne peut se représenter leurs tribulations comment pouvons-nous imaginer les représenter ? Cette question fut celle quiprésida à l’émergence du concept d’irreprésentabilité, défendu notamment par Claude Lanzmann, concept qui devint tôt une injonction qui condamnaittoute entreprise de mise en fiction de la Shoah. Cependant, malgré les interdits ou peut-être en raison de ces interdits, les artistes, Prométhées des tempsmodernes, transgressifs et libres par essence se sont emparés de ce sujet qui est devenu incontournable. Pas une année ne passe sans qu’une oeuvreayant pour thème la Shoah ne voie le jour. Toutes ne sont pas dignes d’intérêt, certaines se servent même de l’engouement du public pour la période dela Seconde Guerre mondiale afin de donner de la profondeur à leur oeuvre qui en manque cruellement. Mais certaines apportent un éclairage nouveau,instillent une pensée originale et édifiante en évitant la pierre d’achoppement que constitue l’indécence, c’est le cas des oeuvres que nous avons choisid’étudier. Comme le dit Yosef Yerushalmi : « L’Holocauste a déjà suscité plus de recherches historiques que tout autre événement de l’histoire juive,mais je ne doute pas que l’image qui s’en dégage, loin d’être forgée sur l’enclume de l’historien, soit fondue dans le creuset du romancier ». C’est cecreuset que nous souhaitons explorer à travers notre analyse comparée de La Danse de Gengis Cohn de Romain Gary, d’Inglourious basterds deQuentin Tarantino et de The Passsenger de Mieczyslaw Weinberg. Cette étude a pour ambition de mettre en lumière le glissement progressif du réelvers la fiction que les artistes mettent en place dans leurs oeuvres et de l'analyser afin d’en révéler les enjeux. Puis de relever les artifices fictionnelsutilisés par les artistes comme des révélateurs et de souligner leurs apports au thème de la Shoah, et enfin de contempler la toute-puissance de l’art qui,le temps de son avènement, acquiert une liberté absolue, pouvoir tel qu’il lui permet de faire émerger des personnages d’outre-tombe, d’assignersymboliquement à comparaître ceux qui s’en sont tirés à bon compte et finalement de mettre à mort Hitler et tout ce qu’il représente, le temps de lafiction. Si ces entreprises audacieuses sont jubilatoires, elles ne sont pas moins révélatrices. En effet, elles soulignent, en négatif, notre impuissanceface à l’horreur du réel . Car comme le dit Laurent Binet dans HhhH : L’Histoire est la seule véritable fatalité : « on peut la relire dans tous les sens,mais on ne peut pas la réécrire »<br>"Only those who knew Auschwitz know what it was. Others will never know it. " This truth proclaimed by Elie Wiesel summarizes the impossibility of representing to oneself what the victims of Nazism, whether Jewish, Gypsy, homosexual or political opponents, endured. Indeed, if we can not imagine their tribulations how can we imagine representing them? This question was the one that presided over the emergence of the concept of irrepresentability, defended notably by Claude Lanzmann, a concept that soon became an injunction that condemned any undertaking of fictionalizing the Holocaust. However, despite the forbidden or perhaps because of these prohibitions, artists, Prometheus of modern times, basically transgressive and free have seized this subject that has become unavoidable. Not a year goes by without a Holocaust-themed work being produced. All are not worthwhile, some even use the infatuation of the public for the period of the Second World War to give depth to their work that is sorely lacking. But some bring a new light, instill an original and uplifting thought while avoiding the stumbling block that constitutes the indecency, it is the case of the works which we chose to study. As Yosef Yerushalmi puts it: "The Holocaust has already attracted more historical research than any other event in Jewish history, but I have no doubt that the image that emerges from it, far from being forged on the an anvil of the historian, be melted in the crucible of the novelist ". It is this crucible that we wish to explore through our comparative analysis of Romain Gary's Genghis Cohn's Dance, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious basterds and Mieczyslaw Weinberg's The Passsenger. This study aims to highlight the progressive shift of the real to the fiction that artists put in place in their works and analyze it to reveal the issues. Then to highlight the fictional artifices used by artists as revelators and to emphasize their contributions to the theme of the Holocaust, and finally to contemplate the omnipotence of art which, at the time of its advent, acquires absolute freedom, power as it allows him to bring out characters from beyond the grave, to symbolically summon those who have escaped and to put to death Hitler and all that he represents, the time of fiction. If these daring ventures are jubilant, they are no less revealing. Indeed, they emphasize, in negative, our helplessness in the face of the horror of reality. Because as Laurent Binet says in HhhH: " History is the only real fatality : it can be re-read in all directions, but we can not rewrite it. "

Full textAbstract:
Le présent travail de thèse est consacré à la reconstruction de la réflexion de Wolferd Senguerd (Utrecht, 1646- Leyde, 1724) sur la tarentule, sur les effets merveilleux de son poison et sur les extraordinaires propriétés curatives de certaines musiques, par rapport à la question des qualités occultes. Professeur de “Philosophie péripatéticienne” à l’Université de Leyde, Senguerd est une figure peu connue dans le cadre des études sur le tarantisme. Toutefois, il est l’auteur de bien trois textes sur la question. En effet, Wolferd passe son doctorat en philosophie, en écrivant une "Disputatio philosophica inauguralis de tarantula" (Leyde, 1667). Ce texte est considéré comme un des premiers écrits entièrement consacrés à l’étude de la problématique. En outre, Senguerd rédige un "Tractatus physicus de tarantula" (Leyde, 1668) et une "Disquisitio de tarantula" (Rotterdam, 1715). L’attention de Wolferd pour les effets des tarentules des Pouilles et pour la thérapie musicale s’inscrit dans le plus grand intérêt – très répandu dans la physique du XVII siècle – pour les qualités occultes. Le présent travail de thèse est structuré en trois parties. La première est consacrée à retracer l’origine de l’intérêt de Wolferd Senguerd pour les qualités occultes. Wolferd est initié à l’étude de la question par son père Arnold Senguerd (1610-1667), philosophe néo-aristotélicien et professeur de Wolferd dans les années de sa formation académique à l’Athenaeum Illustre d’Amsterdam. Dans cette perspective, la réflexion sur les qualités occultes développée par Arnold a été reconstruite. En plus, on a analysé les disputationes discutées par Wolferd sous la présidence de son père et consacrées à l’étude des qualités occultes. Il a donc été possible de constater la grande influence que la leçon d’Arnold exerce sur les réflexions suivantes de Wolferd en matière des qualités occultes et du tarantisme. La deuxième partie est consacrée à l’étude de la réflexion de Wolferd sur le tarantisme, par l’analyse des œuvres de jeunesse : la "Disputatio philosophica inauguralis de tarantula" et le "Tractatus physicus de tarantula" qui constitue une version plus élargie du premier écrit. Dans les deux œuvres, le tarantisme est présenté par l’auteur comme un phénomène composé de plusieurs éléments que la tradition a expliqués en recourant aux qualités occultes. On a donc procédé à une reconstruction des sources de Wolferd. En outre, on a vu que son objectif est de démontrer que ces éléments sont explicables au moyen de solutions alternatives aux qualités occultes. La clarification est menée en utilisant les outils de l’histoire naturelle, ainsi qu’en invoquant les actions mécaniques et le processus de fermentation ; au contraire, les aspects considérés comme fabulosi sont niés dans leur existence empirique. La troisième partie est consacrée à la - réflexion de Wolferd sur le tarantisme. La réévaluation de la question des qualités occultes et l’adhésion aux principes de la philosophie expérimentale postérieure à 1675 se reflètent sur l’élaboration de la "Disquisitio de tarantula". Bien que l’intention de l’auteur reste d’expliquer les effets exceptionnels du tarantisme, il y a certaines variations significatives dans les modèles explicatifs qu’il adopte. On a mis en évidence l’incidence de ses recherches pneumatiques sur l’élasticité dans l’explication de la thérapie des sons et des danses. En outre, on a identifié l’influence exercée par la source implicite du "De anatome, morsu et effectibus tarantulae" (1696) de Giorgio Baglivi (1668-1707). Cette source aussi est inscrite par Wolferd dans le nouveau cadre expérimental qui caractérise la "Disquisitio de tarantula". Grâce à cette source, il peut mettre au jour sa propre réflexion sur le tarantisme, surtout à propos des aspects de l’histoire naturelle et de la médecine iatromécanique<br>This thesis is dedicated to reconstruct the reflection of Wolferd Senguerd (Utrecht, 1646- Leiden, 1724) about the tarantula, the wonderful effects of its poison, the prodigious and curative properties of some peculiar music, concerning occult qualities. Professor of “Peripatetic Philosophy” at the University of Leiden, Wolferd is a little known figure in the field of studies about tarantism. However, he is the author of three texts about this topic. In fact, Wolferd takes his doctorate in philosophy, by composing a "Disputatio philosophica inauguralis de tarantula" (Leiden, 1667), among the first independent writings completely devoted to the study of the problematic. Furthermore, he wrote "Tractatus physicus de tarantula" (Leiden, 1668) and "Disquisitio de tarantula" (Rotterdam, 1715). The attention of Wolferd to the wonderful effects of Apulian tarantulas and to the extraordinary musitherapy is part of the wider interest – widespread in the 16th century – in occult qualities. This work consists of three parts. The first part deals with the origin of Wolferd’s interest in occult qualities. It was found that Wolferd had been initiated to the study of the problematic by his father Arnold Senguerd (1610-1667), neo-Aristotelian philosopher and professor of Wolferd during the years of his academic training at the Athenaeum Illustre of Amsterdam. In this perspective, the reflection on occult qualities developed by Arnold was reconstructed. The disputationes, discussed by Wolferd under the supervision of his father and devoted to the study of occult qualities, have also been analysed. Therefore, the considerable influence that the lesson of Arnold exerts on the subsequent reflections of Wolferd about occult qualities and tarantism is recognizable. The second part focuses on the study of Wolferd’s reflection about tarantism due to the analysis of early works: "Disputatio philosophica inauguralis de tarantula" and a wider version of the previously mentioned writing, "Tractatus physicus de tarantula". In both works, tarantism is presented as a phenomenon consisting of many aspects explained by the tradition through the occult qualities. Therefore, the sources of Wolferd have been reconstructed. Furthermore, it has been noted that his aim is to show that these aspects are explicable by alternative solutions to occult qualities. The clarification of these aspects is accomplished making use of the tools of natural history and invoking mechanical actions and fermentation processes, while the aspects considered fabulosi are denied in their own empirical existence. The third part is devoted to the mature reflection of Wolferd about tarantism. It has been shown that a reconsideration of the problem concerning occult qualities and the adherence to the principles of experimental philosophy after 1675 are reflected in the writing of the "Disquisitio de tarantula". Although the author’s intent is to explain the extraordinary effects of tarantism, there are some significant changes in the explanatory patterns that he adopts. The incidence of his pneumatic studies corcerning the elasticity in explaining the therapy of sounds and dances has been highlighted. In addition, the influence exercised by the implicit source of the "De anatome, morsu et effectibus tarantulae" (1696) of Giorgio Baglivi (1668-1707) has been identified. This source is inserted by Wolferd in the new experimental frame that distinguishes the "Disquisitio de tarantula". Due to this source, he can revise his reflection about tarantism, in relation to aspects of the natural history and iatromechanical medicine

With a break from the cinematographic illusionism and detachment, Tarantino seems to play with the elements within the scene, also with songs, music and sound effects, to work with an attention and distraction flow in a staging with depth of field. This dissertation aims to define the elements that constitute the cinema of Tarantino, as well as to designate the techniques utilized by the director, his references and style. It is understood that Tarantino represents a diversified postmodern cinema, with its foundations in the tradition of staging and in the entity of the take. Even when evoking elements of the melodrama or of the mainstream, Tarantino tries to subvert them by breaking down the illusionism and through the works of depth of field. The corpus of this research is composed by two of the most recent films of Tarantino thus far, Django Unchained (2012) and The Hateful Eight (2015). These objects of study were chosen because of their visual similarity, and their contrasting narrative constructions and rhythm, exacerbated through the use of soundtrack and the actor's performance as tensioning agents of the plot<br>Mestre

<p>I december 2003 gick filmen <i>Kill Bill</i> upp på biograferna med ett våldsamt och blodigt innehåll.

Un corps humain n’est pas le réceptacle passif d’impressions. Il n’est condamné à aucun « réel » qui s’imposerait à lui. Tout au contraire crée-t-il, continûment et spontanément, des images singulières de la réalité. Cette faculté d’imaginisation est le sujet de la présente thèse, ainsi que la conséquence qui s’ensuit, pour chaque individu, de ne pouvoir que croire en une réalité toujours déjà imaginisée. L’imaginisation sera envisagée selon une double visée :en tant que faculté (laquelle produit des effets concrets, historisants), et en tant que qualité originelle de l’être humain.<p>Poser que l’imaginisation est la qualité qui définit l’appartenance à l’humanité induit entre autres que la raison est renvoyée à un statut second :elle est un choix possible à l’intérieur d’une création incessante d’images-réalités, par où se constitue singulièrement une fiction enveloppante de la vie. Notre objectif n’est pas de déprécier le choix en faveur de la raison en indiquant qu’il serait, à tout coup, contraint et réducteur. Mais ne plus être en mesure – parce que l’être humain est d’emblée appréhendé en tant qu’être de raison (ens rationis) – de penser que la raison requiert un choix et qu’elle ne « va » pas de soi, c’est se couper de tout accès à la question :« Qu’est-ce que l’homme ?».<p>Nous voulons considérer l’être humain en tant qu’il imaginise le réel en y adjoignant une part fictive qui, à la fois, précède, intègre et outrepasse la « simple » raison. Fiction enveloppante forcément ignorée par le rationalisme positiviste, alors qu’elle est attachée de façon indissoluble à la vie de chacune et de chacun ;tous étant les acteurs individuels d’une histoire personnelle et collective.<p>Avant d’être un être de raison, l’homme est un être vivant qui imaginise singulièrement les choses, les situations, les évènements, ses semblables… Il en résulte une complexité telle qu’aucun échange, aucune relation, aucune cohabitation, ne peuvent à priori être déterminés rationnellement. Dès lors, si les présentes recherches ne portent pas directement sur le politique, celui-ci en constitue l’horizon, voire la finalité ultime. L’expérience nous apprend en effet que pour qu’une philosophie politique puisse être politiquement pertinente et utile, il faut qu’elle soit fondée non pas sur ce que l’on voudrait que les hommes soient, mais sur ce qu’ils sont. Non pas sur les hommes rationnels que la théorie souhaiterait qu’ils fussent, mais sur des êtres ayant un corps fait de mémoire, de peurs et de rêves. <p>En ce sens, nous partageons le questionnement quant à la nécessité d’une approche qui prendrait en compte « la totalité des dimensions de la vie humaine, le mythe comme la raison, le religieux comme le juridique, non pour les confondre, mais pour les articuler ensemble » .Notre plaidoyer est double, mais non contradictoire :il s’agit de penser une plus grande complexification du politique que celle définie par la raison identitaire – héritée de l’ère moderne et des Lumières – et qui est factuellement dépassée par le monde/mondialisé qui constitue désormais le territoire de toute politique. Cela n’est possible qu’en affrontant le fait que les hommes ne sont pas que raison, mais sont avant tout des imaginaires singuliers. Fonder, en ce sens, une politique requiert préalablement la définition de ce que l’on entend par imaginaires singuliers, et impose d’en repérer les modes d’agir, non plus seulement au niveau de l’histoire, ni même d’une histoire culturelle, mais d’une génésie culturelle :tel est l’objectif des recherches que l’on va lire. Celles-ci sont illustrées principalement par deux exemples paradigmatiques :la mythologie chrétienne, et le cinéma en tant qu’art de l’univers mytho-technique.<p><br>Doctorat en Philosophie<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Full textAbstract:
Quentin Tarantino är välkänd för att skriva bra dialog och lyfts ofta fram som skicklig på att skapa intressanta karaktärer. I denna studie analyseras tre av hans karaktärer O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) från Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003), Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) från Inglourious Basterds (2009) och Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) från Django Unchained (2012). Målet med studien är förankra karaktärsteorin i konkreta exempel på karaktärer som är skapade av Tarantino, samt att bidra med kunskap om hur man skapar välgjorda karaktärer. Målet uppnås genom att svara på två frågeställningar: 1) Hur är karaktärerna O-Ren Ishii, Hans Landa och Calvin Candie uppbyggda? 2) Finns det ett mönster i hur Tarantino har skapat dessa tre karaktärer? För att kunna svara på frågeställningarna analyseras de tre karaktärerna utifrån karaktärsteori baserat på den information som kan erhållas i filmerna Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Inglourious Basterds och Django Unchained, filmmanuskripten till de tre filmerna och intervjuer med Quentin Tarantino. Studien visar att alla de tre karaktärerna är oförutsägbara och har en stor spridning av motstridiga egenskaper. Istället för att bygga på identifikation, empati eller sympati, bygger karaktärerna på att skapa spänning och att hålla publiken kognitivt aktiv.

Cook, Jared Welling. "Nazisploitation and the Problem of Violence in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2011. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2698.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I explore the representation of Nazis and violence in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (2009), including how the film proposes justification for violence and murder, and how the film participates in cultural fantasies. The film presents an alternate outcome of World War II in which the Allies achieve victory by assassinating Hitler and the High Command of the Third Reich in a movie theater. The Nazis in the film, far from being a complex enemy, are used for their token villain status. Using the Nazis in this way both participates in and reinterprets the Nazisploitation genre. The protagonists, the clandestine military force known as the "Basterds," which attacks German troops using guerrilla warfare tactics, help make this victory possible. Aldo, their leader, encourages his men to brutalize the Nazis they come in contact with, and Aldo shows the way by carving swastikas in the foreheads of Nazis he allows to live. Tarantino creates an aesthetic surrounding his violence in an attempt to create a paradigm in which murder is imagined to be morally acceptable. Yet the film also supports this paradigm by setting the Nazi up in much the same way cinema uses the zombie, as a killable being, a blank body on which violence can be justifiably enacted. As a blank body, cultural imagination can also be inscribed on the Nazi, using them as a meditation on Jewish revenge fantasy and a fantasy of American revenge against terrorists. In the end, the Basterds become more like Nazi villains than heroes due to their participation in Nazi-like violence. The audience, as well, faces the problem of becoming like Nazis by viewing the film.

Full textAbstract:
How should we, Americans, confront our complicity in reproducing the Shoah? For complicit we are, if consumerism is any metric: Steven Spielberg<'>s 1993 film Schindler<'>s List had grossed $321 million as of 2012; more than 40 million people have made the pilgrimage to the sacred US Holocaust Museum; at last count, The Diary of Anne Frank had sold 30 million copies. These numbers are stale staples in the debate over the ethics of Shoah representation, of course, but they bear out the skepticism of critics who have questioned American Holocaust consumer culture. And consumerism is only the first of many such ethical quandaries, which include how to deal with the trauma that audiences experience upon viewing Holocaust films and what happens when secondary witnesses overidentify with Holocaust victims.This paper takes up an unusual form of Holocaust art: misrepresentative film. I discuss two films, Quentin Tarantino<'>s Inglourious Basterds and Wes Anderson<'>s The Grand Budapest Hotel, to argue that intentional misrepresentations not only call attention to the pitfalls of traditional representation but also encourage audiences to work through the transhistorical trauma of the Shoah. Released in 2009, Tarantino<'>s was perhaps unique in cinema for its radical alteration of history, intended to give audiences the sheer pleasure of seeing the Nazi regime go up, literally, in flames. Though the film is undoubtedly a revenge fantasy that, using Dominick LaCapra<'>s terms, embodies <"e>acting out€ in response to historical trauma, it does so by flipping the traditional narrative: unlike most depictions of the Shoah, it complicates the victim-perpetrator binary, identifies audiences with the transgressors, and constantly calls attention to its own fictionality. Movies like The Grand Budapest Hotel are evidence that Tarantino really did shatter the constraints of the genre. Basterds certainly makes no effort toward historical accuracy, but since its appeal depends on the audience<'>s awareness of its inaccuracies, Tarantino is still elbow-deep in real history. Anderson is not. Budapest is a troubled film, haunted by invasions, wars, arrests, and displays of arbitrary power, many of which recall the Third Reich. The function of these ominous forces, however, is not to offer commentary on the Shoah but simply to recreate the illusory world of Stefan Zweig, on whose writings it was based. In producing a movie about Nazi-occupied Europe in which the troubles of the period are relegated mostly to the background, Anderson furthers the deconstruction of the Holocaust film genre, raising the possibility that such films can be historically serious without being bound by restrictive rules.

This thesis is about auteur execution of film dialogue in screenplays and also in film. By analysing four different feature films, Reservoir Dogs, Chasing Amy, Before Sunset, and Rushmore this work shows how their authors shoot conversational scenes in an innovative manner. The American Independent cinema is briefly introduced as well as the auteur theory. The choice of filmmakers and specific films is explained. The thesis subsequently demonstrates how film dialogue is being viewed by film handbooks and how a conventional dialogue scene looks like. The four analyses are based on all of this information.

Thank you.<br>The purpose of this thesis is to closely analyze some of the individual authorial voices that have emerged from contemporary Romanian cinema. Billed by the international critical establishment as a "New Wave," the recent slate of Romanian productions, while very successful on the international festival circuit, still lacks an apt conceptualization of the precise characteristics that set these new filmmakers apart, not only from other international directors, but also from one another. The analysis focuses on six recent productions: Stuffand Dough (2001), The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2005) and Aurora (2010) by Cristi Puiu, 12:08 East of Bucharest (2006) and Police, Adjective (2010) by Corneliu Porumboiu, and The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu (2010) by Andrei Ujica, breaking down the individual authorial characteristics and thematic and stylistic concerns of each filmmaker and contextualizing them within the larger history of Romanian film, as well as the trajectories of international art cinema.

Ce projet analyse le rôle des images – photographies, films, dessins – produites dans le cadre des recherches ethnographiques « interdisciplinaires » menées par l’anthropologue italien Ernesto De Martino en Italie méridionale dans les années 1950. Ces expéditions ont donné lieu à des documents multiformes puisqu’elles regroupent des chercheurs de formations différentes : historien des religions, ethnomusicologue, psychiatre, photographe, et occasionnellement cinéaste. Plus spécifiquement, il s’agit d’étudier le rôle des matériaux visuels dans la recherche sur le tarentisme, rituel de possession observé dans les Pouilles en 1959 par De Martino et son équipe, matériaux dont une partie constitue l’annexe photographique de son œuvre célèbre La terra del rimorso (1961). Nous portons également attention à l’atlas iconographique de son ouvrage sur la lamentation funèbre, Morte e pianto rituale nel mondo antico. Dal lamento pagano al pianto di Maria (1958), fruit d’une étude de terrain dans la région sud italienne de la Lucania (Basilicata). Tout en considérant les relations intermédiales entre les images, le texte, le son et le corps, ce mémoire identifie les rapports dialectiques entre les techniques d’enregistrement et les logiques répétitives, rythmiques et performatives des rituels en question. Chez De Martino, l’image est point de tension en matière de temporalité et de ressemblance : elle suggère une anthropologie de la « survivance » nous permettant de relever plusieurs correspondances avec l'oeuvre de l’historien de l’art Aby Warburg.<br>This project deals with the production of images in Italian anthropologist Ernesto De Martino’s 1950s “interdisciplinary ethnographies” in southern Italy. These expeditions, innovative for their time, involved a team of researchers (including a religious historian, ethnomusicologist, psychiatrist, photographer and, at times, a filmmaker) and gave rise to mixed-media documents. While the textual aspects of De Martino’s work have been studied in depth, my approach focuses on image-making practices: photography, film, drawings. Building largely on his famous work La terra del rimorso (1961) on tarantism – a possession ritual observed by De Martino’s team in Puglia in 1959 – as well as on the iconographic atlas of Morte e pianto rituale nel mondo antico. Dal lamento pagano al pianto di Maria (1958) – his study on mourning rituals led in the southern Italian region of Lucania (Basilicata) –, this thesis suggests that images, despite their ancillary status, formed a major part of De Martino’s fieldwork and transmitted much more than documentary knowledge. Not only does the visual haunt De Martino’s own text as a literary device, but it is also tightly connected to a series of intermedial elements (sound, objects, bodies) inherent to the ritual “apparatus” itself and its documentation process. It was thus possible to perceive a dialectical relationship between technological imagistic devices such as photography and film, which “reproduced” possession rituals, and those practices’ own repetition processes, temporal rhythms, and performativity. Lastly, these images also suggest an anthropology of “afterlife” by means of visual analogies passed through bodily gesture, reminiscent of Aby Warburg’s work.

Full textAbstract:
The submitted thesis is titled Representations of Femininity in Quentin Tarantino's Movies and it focuses on the process of femininity construction in six selected movies both written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The aim of this study is to identify how Tarantino operates the notions of conventional femininity and traditional female gender roles. Furthermore, it investigates to what extent his films either support or subvert stereotypical gender identities. In relation to the research issues the key concepts are defined by the theoretical part of this work. In particular it describes the theory of social and media construction of reality, gender as construct, film as a part of patriarchal structure or feminist perspectives related to the film production. This same part also offers basic information about Quentin Tarantino's personality and his film works in general. In order to answer the research questions the thesis employs a qualitative method of critical discourse analysis which functions as a helpful tool while reconstructing the image of femininity set by media. Moreover, the selected method serves to reveal latent meanings applied by film as a form of media to affect both behavioural and cognitive individual characteristics.

Kobyláková analyses two basic cultural topics typical for the South-Italian region of Puglia from ethnological point of view, tarantism and pizzica, which complement each other. In the first part the author treats the process of tarantism, i.e. of a psychosomatic disease which was healed by musical and dance therapy in a frenetic rhythm of pizzica created by drumming on a tambourine. The work analyses the causes of the disease, which are symbolically substituted by a poisonous spider, reveals the process and the therapy of the disease, the relationship of an afflicted person to the mythical spider, as well as to Saint Paul, the patron of the poisoned. The second half of the work involves a musical and dance analysis of tarantella of Salento called pizzica, namely its three kinds, the pizzica tarantata, the passionate pizzica and the gesticulated pizzica. This part is complemented by a report about the contemporary happenning, popularity and use of pizzica in Puglia.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines two films directed by Quentin Tarantino, whom I have situated as a postmodern film director, within the theoretical context of the philosophies of two postmodern philosophers: Jean Baudrillard and Jean-François Lyotard. I argue that the major institutions of society, such as the family and religion, are viewed as grand narratives, in Lyotard’s sense of the term, which Tarantino repeatedly subverts. Overlapping with this intersection of Lyotard’s philosophy in Tarantino’s films is the Baudrillardian loss of the real, which manifests as hyperreality in many scenes. I suggest that Tarantino makes a conscious effort to create such hyperreality with the creation of playful signifiers in his films. I examine selected scenes to find Baudrillard’s “successive phases of the image” (Baudrillard 2010:6) that lead to the creation of a simulacrum. The compelling intersections between the creation of Baudrillardian simulacra and the subversion of Lyotard’s grand narratives are explored within selected scenes which are deconstructed by means of film narratology, semiotic analysis and narrative analysis. The combination of the various methods of media research in this thesis enables what Jane Stokes calls “a more textured understanding” (2008:27) of the films under discussion. A close reading from a semiotic point of view facilitates a deconstruction of some obscure elements, such as the embedded meaning in lyrics and dialogue or the messages implicit in the mise en scène.<br>English Studies<br>M.

Full textAbstract:
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Johannesburg, 2017<br>The publication of alternative history fiction increased greatly after World War II,
the war itself having become one of the mode’s most popular subjects. In recent
years several acclaimed authors and filmmakers have constructed their own World
War II alternative histories, thus providing the mode with increased academic at
tention. This study focuses on Philip Roth’s fictional memoir The Plot Against
America, Martin Amis’s novel Time’s Arrow, and Quentin Tarantino’s film Inglouri
ous Basterds. These texts are also read against more typical instantiations of the
mode to demonstrate how they may or may not deviate from an assumed norm.
This will be done with particular focus on formulations of temporality as it is rep
resented within alternative history. That time, among other matters, is among this
study’s central concerns is reflected in this project’s structure. In the Introduction
existing definitions of the mode are critiqued, and new definitions offered. There
after, the study is divided into four parts, with parts one (Pasts), two (Presents),
and three (Futures) offering discussions on how these conventional temporal de
marcations are portrayed in the primary texts. “Part 1: Pasts” discusses the texts’
subversive representations of World War II. This section interrogates whether such
subversions of history may open the primary texts to accusations of Holocaust de
nial and historical relativism. “Part 2: Presents” demonstrates how understandings
of the past come to influence understandings of the present. This section is also
concerned with how a traumatic past both constructs characters’ present identity
and may alter their perception of the past from the vantage point of their present.
And “Part 3: Futures” discusses how certain characters’ ability to rethink the past,
or narrate alternative histories, may inform their ability to imagine future possi
bilities. Before offering a conclusion, “Part 4: Pasts, Presents, Futures” proposes
that the primary texts, and alternative histories more generally, destabilise the
common temporal nodes as they may be understood within the context of causal
ity. Also, using Paul Ricoeur’s theories of narrative time, particularly mimesis
1
,
mimesis 2
, and mimesis
3 , this section argues that past, present, and future proliferate within the context of alternative histories. This is particularly true when
understanding the readers’ time as read against the time of the text, and also
demonstrates how alternative histories may offer ways of thinking about alterna
tive temporalities.<br>XL2018

Full textAbstract:
Les films des cinéastes américains Joel et Ethan Coen et Quentin Tarantino ont su marquer leur temps. Soutenus tant par la critique que par le public, manifestant une façon de faire du cinéma aussi originale qu'inédite, ces films sont également les représentants les plus cohérents d'une tendance signifiante traversant le cinéma des années 1990. Suivie par plusieurs autres cinéastes, cette tendance structurante, laquelle envisage le cinéma dans son historicité, que je nomme post-maniériste, vise à faire revivre avec dynamisme et singularité le genre du film noir. Les genres sont en effet un outil indispensable pour quiconque tente de comprendre Ie cinéma amélicain. Tous les films de cette cinématographie portent en eux la marque de ces catégories portées à un point de perfection par le système hollywoodien classique. Or, une fois ce système anéanti, que faire des genres, et en particulier du film noir, une des catégories les plus remarquables du système par la richesse et l'ambiguïté de ses thèmes et l'esthétisme raffiné de son style? Si certains ont choisi la voie de l'académisme en se contentant d'en perpétuer la tradition de façon mécanique, d'autres, comme les frères Coen et Quentin Tarantino, en ont proposé un renouvellement en y injectant une proposition d'auteur. Il faut ici noter que malgré sa noirceur pessimiste, le film noir est le genre qui a le mieux survécu au déclin des grands studios. Les films de mon corpus, Blood Simple, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Barton Fink, Miller's Crossing et The Man Who Wasn't There des frères Coen et Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction et Jackie Brown de Quentin Tarantino, en sont de vivifiantes illustrations. Ces films me semblent devoir être rapprochés en raison de leur modélisation similaire du film noir et de leur attitude commune face à ce genre de référence caractérisant le post-maniérisme. Bien qu'illustrées par d'autres, les caractéristiques de cette tendance sont portées à leur point d'observation le plus complet chez ces cinéastes. Le déformant autant qu'ils le reforment, ces films s'inscrivent en réalité au coeur même du genre pour le retravailler de l'intérieur, en mettant en tension le style du film noir et leur style propre et révélent leur réelle volonté de le faire revivre par la vitalité de leurs propositions contemporaines. Marqués par une singularité artistique commune, ces films se caractérisent alors par une distanciation ludique particulière imprimée à la forme générique classique et par l'emprunt à d'autres genres populaires. Or, ces distanciations ne visent pas à épuiser les possibilités génériques du noir, mais au contraire à permettre un voyage à l'intérieur du genre, ce dernier devenant un espace singulier de réflexion sur l'Amérique, le cinéma et l'art. Le cinéma de ces auteurs est en effet signifiant en premier lieu par l'exploitation d'une mémoire des lieux, des thèmes, des personnages et de la narration inhérente au genre film noir. Je propose alors cette autre hypothèse: le cinéma noir classique, en puisant dans le répertoire stylistique torturé et angoissant de l'expressionnisme allemand, se caractérisait également par une attitude maniériste induite par une réaction des cinéastes noirs à l'épuisement du cinéma policier hollywoodien. Le maniérisme est, en réalité, un concept hérité de l'histoire de l'art, qui désigne une école picturale du XVIe siècle, arrivée juste après la Renaissance et hantée par la question: comment créer après la perfection? Or, en réactivant la mémoire du film noir, les films des frères Coen et de Quentin Tarantino en réactivent également la mémoire maniériste. Pourtant, leurs
films dépassent ce premier maniérisme en proposant un renouvellement stylistique plus distancié, plus amusé, du contenu et de la forme, engendrant une esthétique et un propos originaux inédits. Articulé autour des enseignements théoriques de la sémiologie générative, je propose de comprendre ces détournements comme caractérisant un nouvel état du genre que je nomme post-maniériste. Impliquant un nouveau rapport à la nature des images et une relation singulière à l'histoire du cinéma, ce nouvel état est également la manifestation d'une réaction des cinéastes à une crise artistique frappant le cinéma dans les années 1990. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Cinéma américain contemporain, Film noir, Maniérisme, Stylisation, Évolution générique.

This thesis explores images of the Japanese schoolgirl as accessory to the Occidental Self in contemporary Orientalist pop culture in the US. In an analysis of a series of images by four different Western pop culture artists, each artist expresses an appreciation for Japan that is based primarily on their encounter with Japanese pop culture. Furthermore, they express identification with the Japanese Other and a desire to introject into Japanese subjectivities. However, lacking the material body needed for full immersion or identification with the Other, they produce the Japanese schoolgirl as an accessory to the Self. The accessory provides false immersion or identification with the Japanese Other. In this way, the Japanese schoolgirl becomes the embodiment of Japanese pop culture and an object for Western fetishization.<br>text

Full textAbstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis<br>The goal of this thesis is to understand the relationship between the evolving representations of African American women in post-Civil Rights era films about the Transatlantic slave trade; the portraits these images present of black women and their history; and how these films approach the issues of difficult heritage and re-presenting atrocity in entertainment. Film shapes the ways in which we understand the past, leaving a lifelong impression about historical events and the groups involved. By analyzing the stories, directorial processes, and the public responses to four films of 20th and 21st centuries focused on the controversial historical topic of American chattel slavery and its representation of the most underrepresented and misunderstood victims of the Peculiar Institution, this work will argue that, when supplemented with historiography and criticism rooted in historical thinking, cinematic depictions of the past make history more accessible to the public and serve as a form of public memory, shaping the way the public thinks about our collective past.
