A Certain Realism

Autor: Maurizio Viano

Número de Páginas: 394

Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) was arguably the most complex director of postwar Italian cinema. His films—Accattone, The Canterbury Tales, Medea, Saló—continue to challenge and entertain new generations of moviegoers. A leftist, a homosexual, and a distinguished writer of fiction, poetry, and criticism, Pasolini once claimed that "a certain realism" informed his filmmaking. Masterfully combining analyses of Pasolini's literary and theoretical writings and of all his films, Maurizio Viano offers the first thorough study of Pasolini's cinematic realism, in theory and in practice. He finds that Pasolini's cinematic career exemplifies an "expressionistic realism" that acknowledges its subjective foundation instead of striving for an impossible objectivity. Focusing on the personal and expressionistic dimensions of Pasolini's cinema, Viano also argues that homosexuality is present in the films in ways that critics have thus far failed to acknowledge. Sure to generate controversy among film scholars, Italianists, and fans of the director's work, this accessible film-by-film treatment is an ideal companion for anyone watching Pasolini's films on video.

Pasolini según Pasolini

Autor: Pier Paolo Pasolini

Número de Páginas: 150

En 1968, Pier Paolo Pasolini recibió en su casa de Roma al crítico de cine Jon Halliday y juntos, durante varias semanas, alumbraron esta serie de entrevistas con las que el intelectual italiano dio forma a su más completo autorretrato personal y artístico. En ellas se desgrana su concepción del cine, la intrahistoria de sus películas, sus impresiones sobre los aspectos técnicos del séptimo arte, su posición frente a la censura, etcétera. Pero la riqueza de la personalidad del entrevistado, la curiosidad del entrevistador y la lucidez de ambos hacen que la conversación discurra por caminos insospechados y vayan apareciendo todos los temas que despertaron el interés y la pasión de Pasolini: la lengua, la religión, la relación entre literatura e ideología, entre cultura y política, entre la Iglesia y la sociedad. Estas páginas reavivan, así, el ardor intelectual de uno de los mayores genios del siglo XX.

Antonio Pietrangeli, The Director of Women

Autor: Emma Katherine Van Ness

Número de Páginas: 405

One of the founding fathers of neorealism in the postwar period in Italy, Antonio Pietrangeli went on to focus his lens upon the female subject. Eight of his ten full-length films feature female protagonists. This study seeks to better understand both his achievements and his failings as a feminist auteur as well as analyse his films by applying new critical and theoretical approaches. Pietrangeli’s representations of women struggling with questions of identity was a revolutionary act in the 1950s and 1960s. The book makes a case why we should recuperate these films today since the standards for representing women in film continue to fall behind the reality of women’s lives off-screen.

Marked Women

Autor: Russell Campbell

Número de Páginas: 465

Julia Roberts played a prostitute, famously, in Pretty Woman. So did Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver, Jane Fonda in Klute, Anna Karina in Vivre sa vie, Greta Garbo in Anna Christie, and Charlize Theron, who won an Academy Award for Monster. This engaging and generously illustrated study explores the depiction of female prostitute characters and prostitution in world cinema, from the silent era to the present-day industry. From the woman with control over her own destiny to the woman who cannot get away from her pimp, Russell Campbell shows the diverse representations of prostitutes in film. Marked Women classifies fifteen recurrent character types and three common narratives, many of them with their roots in male fantasy. The “Happy Hooker,” for example, is the liberated woman whose only goal is to give as much pleasure as she receives, while the “Avenger,” a nightmare of the male imagination, represents the threat of women taking retribution for all the oppression they have suffered at the hands of men. The “Love Story,” a common narrative, represents the prostitute as both heroine and anti-heroine, while “Condemned to Death” allows men to manifest, in imagination...

Rome: Continuing Encounters between Past and Present

Autor: Dorigen Caldwell

Número de Páginas: 325

Few other cities can compare with Rome's history of continuous habitation, nor with the survival of so many different epochs in its present. This volume explores how the city's past has shaped the way in which Rome has been built, rebuilt, represented and imagined throughout its history. Bringing together scholars from the disciplines of architectural history, urban studies, art history, archaeology and film studies, this book comprises a series of studies on the evolution of the city of Rome and the ways in which it has represented and reconfigured itself from the medieval period to the present day. Moving from material appropriations such as spolia in the medieval period, through the cartographic representations of the city in the early modern period, to filmic representation in the twentieth century, we encounter very different ways of making sense of the past across Rome's historical spectrum. The broad chronological arrangement of the chapters, and the choice of themes and urban locations examined in each, allows the reader to draw comparisons between historical periods. An imaginative approach to the study of the urban and architectural make-up of Rome, this volume will be...

Pier Paolo Pasolini

Autor: Naomi Greene

Número de Páginas: 287

The major Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini was also a poet, novelist, essayist, and iconoclastic political commentator. Naomi Greene reveals to English-speaking readers the diverse talents that made him one of the most controversial European intellectuals of the postwar era, at the center of political and cultural debates still vital to our time. Greene presents Pasolini's films to the English-speaking world in full detail and in a rich critical context, using them to trace the evolution of his ideas and the details of his troubled personal life from 1950, when he settled in Rome, to 1975, the year of his brutal murder, apparently at the hands of a young male prostitute. "In her concise and sympathetic book, Greene intelligently explicates the political and social context within which Pasolini became both a leading figure and a significant heretic. He was an atheist who directed one of the few genuinely profound biblical films in the cinema, a communist who severely criticized many of the radical movements of modern Italy. Though he publicly acknowledged his homosexuality, he privately referred to it as his "sickness." As the book well documents, Pasolini was not a rebel but...

Cartas luteranas

Autor: Pier Paolo Pasolini

Número de Páginas: 198

Durante el último año de su vida, Pier Paolo Pasolini desarrolló una penetrante requisitoria contra los rasgos que había adquirido la sociedad italiana, a la que veía tan destruida como en 1945. Cartas luteranas contiene así los últimos trabajos del autor en materia de crítica social. Pasolini parte de las mutaciones culturales que el desarrollo de la producción masiva y las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación han suscitado en Italia para revelar los signos de la degradación de la sociedad y de la cultura. Y, aunque circunscribe su análisis al concreto caso italiano, halla categorías metafóricas fundamentales para una crítica de izquierda a la modernidad y a las insuficiencias de la razón progresista. No es cierto que la pobreza sea el peor de los males. No es cierto que la historia vaya siempre hacia adelante: hay períodos en que se producen súbitas involuciones y se desvanecen en el aire conquistas históricas de la humanidad. Por si fuera poco, Cartas luteranas incluye uno de los textos más bellos de Pasolini: «Gennariello», un tratadillo pedagógico (inconcluso) que, además de ser una obra maestra literaria, resulta único en el género. Al poner al...

Trame del Fantastico

Autor: Alessandro Cappabianca

Número de Páginas: 91

Trame d'ombra, specchi oscuri, intrecci misteriosi. La materia stessa del film, pellicola trasparente e diafana sulla quale si muovono figure d'ombra, induce a pensare che la vocazione privilegiata del cinema sia nel fantastico, come già riteneva Artaud. I fantasmi, silenziose o sonore apparizioni, ci vengono incontro dallo schermo, in bianco e nero o a colori, da Nosferatu a Shutter Island: materia dei corpi come materia di sogni, incubi e visioni, portatori di maschere, generatori privilegiati di archetipi. Metafisico. Fantastico. Film noir. Horror. Termini usuali, ma inadeguati, per certi film. In realtà qui non siamo tanto di fronte a un'inadeguatezza terminologica, che si tratterebbe di superare inventando un termine più adatto, quanto alla generale insufficienza che l'ottica dei "generi" (un'ottica di comodo) dimostra nei confronti di ogni film che investa universi di senso sufficientemente complessi, tali da mettere in gioco qualcosa che potremmo chiamare memoria filogenetica.

Melodrama, Masculinity and International Art Cinema

Autor: Alistair Fox

Número de Páginas: 170

This book presents a series of essays that reassess the role of melodrama in a number of touchstone films in the art-cinema tradition that explore the subjective experience of a central male protagonist, announcing the emergence of a genre that has progressively proliferated in contemporary cinema. Case studies by such notable auteurs as Vittorio De Sica, Satyajit Ray, Vincente Minnelli, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Ingmar Bergman, François Truffaut, Jacques Demy, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and Luca Guadagnino demonstrate how the art-house male melodrama offers a vision of masculinity that is sexually fluid, fragmented, unstable, and often incapacitated to the point of paralysis, rather than the heroic stereotypes commonly found in popular genre cinema.

Pasolini after Dante

Autor: Emanuela Patti

Número de Páginas: 256

What role did Dante play in the work of Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975)? His unfinished and fragmented imitation of the Comedia, La Divina Mimesis, is only one outward sign of what was a sustained dialogue with Dante on representation begun in the early 1950s. During this period, the philologists Gianfranco Contini (1912-1990) and Erich Auerbach (1892-1957) played a crucial role in Pasolini’s re-thinking of ‘represented reality’, suggesting Dante as the best literary, authorial and political model for a generation of postwar Italian writers. This emerged first as ‘Dantean realism’ in Pasolini’s prose and poetry, after Contini’s interpretation of Dante and of his plurilingualism, and then as ‘figural realism’ in his cinema, after Auerbach’s concepts of Dante’s figura and ‘mingling of styles’. Following the evolution of Pasolini’s mimetic ideal from these formative influences through to La Divina Mimesis, Emanuela Patti explores Pasolini’s politics of representation in relation to the ‘national-popular’, the ‘questione della lingua’ and the Italian post-war debates on neorealism, while also providing a new interpretation of some of his major...

A Grammar of Cinepoiesis

Autor: Silvia Carlorosi

Número de Páginas: 223

Cinepoiesis, or cinema of poetry, strikes us as a strange combination, a phrase we initially read as an oxymoron. Poetry is often associated with the abstract and the evocative, while cinema suggests the concrete and the visible. Yet, various visual media use strong and often contradictory images, whose symbolic force and visual impact stimulate the public’s attention. Abstract and emblematic images surround us, and the poetic nature of these images lies in the way they speak beyond their apparent limits and stimulate connections on a subjective level. A prosaic world like the contemporary one, though, no longer seems to hold a place for poetry. We are inundated by the need to tell and to be told, the need to build our lives through narratives. But it is precisely here, in this contemporary landscape, that the cinema of poetry attempts to establish a space for itself, exchanging the productive and industrial apparatus for the poetic stimulus of a sensory experience. A Grammar of Cinepoiesis is a theoretical and practical guide to the cinema of poetry, to its tools and forms. It examines how the language of a “cinema of poetry” works both in its theoretical foundations and in ...

Muerde a tus amigos

Autor: Fernanda Eberstadt

Número de Páginas: 201

Una investigación histórica y autobiográfica sobre el poder subversivo del cuerpo, desde la Antigua Roma hasta la Rusia de Putin. ¿Qué lleva a ciertas personas a transformar su cuerpo en un arma de resistencia y emancipación política y espiritual? ¿Y qué podemos aprender de su ejemplo? En Muerde a tus amigos, la novelista y crítica cultural Fernanda Eberstadt investiga las vidas de santos, pensadores y artistas que se valieron de sus cuerpos, a menudo frágiles y estigmatizados, para desafiar al poder establecido por la vía del ascetismo, la sensualidad o la militancia: Diógenes el Cínico, que vivió sin ningún pudor en la plaza pública; Perpetua y Felicidad, mártires del cristianismo primitivo; profetas laicos como Pier Paolo Pasolini y Michel Foucault, y activistas como Nadia Tolokónnikova, fundadora de Pussy Riot. Entrelazando estas historias de disidencia corporal con sus propias vivencias de juventud en el underground neoyorquino de los años setenta, Eberstadt nos invita a repensar las relaciones entre el dolor, el erotismo, la belleza y la libertad. Para ello, propone un fascinante viaje histórico e intelectual con escala en la Rusia de Putin, la...

Pasolini

Autor: Robert Samuel Clive Gordon

Número de Páginas: 348

In the twenty years since his death, Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) has grown into a figure of defining importance in the history of post-war Italian literary and cinematographic culture. His extraordinary and continuing impact is explained by his capacity to appropriate and transform or distort traditional genres, media, languages, and forms of art, and to bring them into stark confrontation with the deeply fractured social, political, and sexual landscape of modern Italy. Pasolini: Forms of Subjectivity aims at a global reassessment of Pasolini, examining in turn his journalism and essays, his poetry, his film theory and practice, and his sprawling, posthumously published narrative fragment Petrolio, all from the perspective of the complex shifting workings of subjectivity which animate every aspect of his work. Gordon provides a conceptual and interpretative framework which illuminates Pasolini's mastery of both the written word and the cinematographical world.

Revolutionary Desire in Italian Cinema

Autor: Luana Ciavola

Número de Páginas: 187

Revolutionary Desire in Italian Cinema is the first book to draw on psychoanalytical concepts and film theories to examine the critical tendency of Italian cinema and the way in which auteur Italian filmmakers have expressed their counter-ideological thought and criticism against Italian society. The book examines how by being committed to Italian social reality, Italian cinema expresses a desire for revolt against the status quo and the dominant ideological order. Taking as case studies Bernardo Bertolucci’s Prima della rivoluzione, Marco Bellocchio’s I pugni in tasca, Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Porcile, Nanni Moretti’s Ecce Bombo and La messa è finita, the book relies on socio-historiographical theories through which Luana Ciavola discusses how plot and characters create a sense of revolt against the both social order and values such as family, religion and bourgeois ethics. The book confirms the central role of Italian cinema in a historical and political context, insofar as it includes a substantial background which highlights aspects of Italian history never considered before in a study on Italian cinema. Revolutionary Desire in Italian Cinema is aimed at academics,...

Rome, ville ouverte au cinéma

Autor: Julien Neutres

Número de Páginas: 260

La place de Rome dans l'histoire du cinéma est considérable. Une Rome blessée dans Rome, ville ouverte (Rossellini, 1945) et dans la trilogie de De Sica et Zavattini (Sciuscià en 1946, Le Voleur de bicyclette en 1948, Umberto D. en 1952); puis le boom avec La Dolce Vita (Fellini, 1960) et les antihéros de Pasolini (Accattone en 1961, et Mamma Roma en 1962); pour atteindre la Rome chaotique de Fellini Roma (1972). Huit films, cinq cinéastes: autant de parcours dans la ville et son imaginaire. Toutes les images aussi mènent à Rome... Immortalisée par le cinéma, la Ville éternelle en devient une des capitales avec Cinecittà. A Rome et ses couches archéologiques correspondent ainsi des films et les couches iconographiques laissées par la sédimentation de la création. Les images de Rome au cinéma suggèrent des formes distinctes de la réalité déjà protéiforme de la ville et ont, en retour, transformé les structures urbaines et les coutumes. Cet essai est une invitation à penser la vie de la ville entre mémoire et images. Une réflexion en mouvement sur le rôle du cinéma dans nos manières modernes de "faire cité ensemble".

Dante, Cinema, and Television

Autor: Amilcare A. Iannucci

Número de Páginas: 268

The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the seminal works of western literature. Its impact on modern culture has been enormous, nourishing a plethora of twentieth century authors from Joyce and Borges to Kenzaburo Oe. Although Dante's influence in the literary sphere is well documented, very little has been written on his equally determining role in the evolution of the visual media unique to our times, namely, cinema and television. Dante, Cinema, and Television corrects this oversight. The essays, from a broad range of disciplines, cover the influence of the Divine Comedy from cinema's silent era on through to the era of sound and the advent of television, as well as its impact on specific directors, actors, and episodes, on national/regional cinema and television, and on genres. They also consider the different modes of appropriation by cinema and television. Dante, Cinema, and Television demonstrates the many subtle ways in which Dante's Divine Comedy has been given 'new life' by cinema and television, and underscores the tremendous extent of Dante's staying power in the modern world.

Suburban Discipline

Autor: Peter Lang

Número de Páginas: 148

Historically, suburbia has been defined in relation to the city. Today, however, the city is no longer the undisputed arbiter for civilization; suburbia has infiltrated urban culture worldwide, shaping both its aspirations and its fears. Beneath an advertised serenity, poetry and violence, romance and pornography, organic gardens and toxic wastes are all nestled into the naturalistic settings of the suburb. What are the rituals and customs of the contemporary suburb? Is it possible to describe suburban culture without relying on typical urban comparisons? How is suburban culture changing as a result of being plugged into a global market of expanding proportions? Suburban Discipline, the second book (after "Mortal City") in our series from StoreFront for Art and Architecture, answers these questions through a series of critical essays. Keller Easterling, a professor of architecture at Columbia University and co-author of "Seaside", contributes an essay on the Appalachian Trail. Hannia Gmez, architecture critic for El Nacional in Caracas, provides a study on the Hanging Suburbs of Caracas. Also included is a photo-essay on Rem Koolhaas's Lille project.
