Machinima jako przejaw kina niezależnego w Sieci

Author(s): Miłosz Markocki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2015

The Internet has proven to be an immensely effective tool in text development and distribution for amateur authors. Never before had the amateur authors so many opportunities for sharing their creations with others as they do now thanks to the Internet. The global network has helped not only with the spreading of independent films but also with their evolution in to new forms. A good example of such new film form is machinima, a hybrid of film and computer game – to be more specific, a film created by using the graphic engines and elements of computer games. Machinima are very tightly connected to the Internet. The necessary tools for creating machinima are available on the Internet and it was on the Internet where the machinima appeared for the first time and where this film form gained fame. Another connection between machinima films and the Internet is the source material for machinima. Many machinima use graphic engines and elements of MMORPGs, which one can play only via Internet. That is why machinima films illustrate very well the nature of Internet independent films.

“MADEN” FİLMİNİN MARKSİST ÇÖZÜMLEMESİ

Author(s): Birgül Alici / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 32/2016

Looking at socioeconomic changes from a perspective of a certain historical necessity, Marx focuses on the position, interests and struggle of the working class in the most capitalist and democratic societies within Marxism. In the study, a Yavuz Ozkan film "Maden" which explains the basic concepts of Marxism and the struggle of the working class, which Marx attaches great importance to, has been tried to be analyzed. The film, in which the soul of Marxism and its basic elements are studied on workers in a social realistic norm, is the result of a successful Marxist approach reflecting Yavuz Özkan's era.

Współ-pamięć, pamięć „negatywna” i dylematy przekładu w „wycinkach” z Shoah Clauda Lanzmanna

Author(s): Dorota Głowacka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 6/2016

Głowacka considers three decades of Polish criticism of Lanzmann’s Shoah in the context of recently published outtakes from the documentary. She explores the role of language interpretation in both the film and the outtakes, focusing on statements in Polish and their French and English translations. The testimonies of Poles whom Lanzmann describes as ‘false witnesses,’ Głowacka suggests, ought to be treated as credible accounts that shed light on the complexity of Polish Holocaust memory. But Lanzmann appropriates this memory, framing the Polish language as subordinate to other languages in the film. She also points out sequences in the outtakes where Polish witnesses’ memories coincide with the recollections of Szymon Srebrnik, a survivor of the Chełmno extermination camp. Based on this she proposes to introduce the notion of a co-memory, that is to say a modality of memory that can pose a valuable alternative to the dominant paradigm of conflicting memories.

Author(s): Małgorzata Kowalewska / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2018

The aim of the article is to present the relationship between food and politics based on the example of Peter’s Greenaway film The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover. This particular Greenaway’s film is compelling for the purposes of the presented analysis, as he is an accredited painter and he uses food as references to historic paintings. In my article, I analyse the role of food (as an element of scenography in Greenaway’s film) as a means of explaining political and social problems presented. I will reference to history of art, political and social situation, as well as approach to food in the upper class in Great Britain in ’80s of the 20th century

Митове и стереотипи в съвременния дизайн

Author(s): Dimitar Dobrevski / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 17/2019

There can be no doubt: we live our entire life, surrounded and organized by design. The way we live, take a bath, drive, feed, and pack our belongings, even how we look at the world through our glasses: all of this has already been designed, shaped, and designed for us. The design of products, regardless of the different circumstances, has been accepted to attribute certain qualities: functionality (usually in technical-exploitation sense), ergonomics, constructiveness, economy, and aesthetic expression. Some other properties and qualities are often unnoticed or more precisely underestimated. They stem from the organic connection of design with a number of other spheres: Social, economic, political, and religious.

CINÉMA, MÉMOIRE ET CRITIQUE DE LA CORRUPTION DANS LA ROUMANIE ET LA BULGARIE POSTCOMMUNISTES

Author(s): Alexandra Oprea / Language(s): French Issue: 4/2019

This article analyzes different social practices of denunciation of informality through the analysis of cinematic discourses in Eastern European societies. More precisely, two case studies have been chosen, the Romanian and the Bulgarian one, due to their shared communist past and due to the large protests against the corrupt elite and social injustice, that took place in both countries during the last decade. Therefore, we will discuss what type of references and representations of the communist past related to practices of corruption can be found in four recent Romanians and Bulgarian films. These Romanian (Cristi Puiu, Cigarettes and coffee, 2004; Alexandru Solomon, Kapitalism our improved formula, 2010) and Bulgarian (Kristina Grozeva, Petar Valchanov, Gloria, 2016; Vesela Kazakova, Mina Mileva, The Beast Is Still Alive, 2016) films that address corruption will be studied comparatively from a theoretical perspective situated at the intersection of pragmatic sociology and memory studies, in order to show the local specificity of this type of denunciation and the circulation of certain discourses.

Отвъд колективните въображаеми: разкази без разказвачи

Author(s): Snezhana Popova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2019

The understanding that the social imaginary is not the “opposite” of the real, but a peculiar reality, is among the most important social insights of the last century. For today century, the anxiety of the advance of the imaginaries remains. The article traces their evolution – from collective representations generated in structured communities and reference groups, through virtually formalized subjects, constituted in media, to various forms of narration in virtually collective non-entity. The focus of attention are precisely the “subjectless stories” (conspiracies, social tendencies, social desirability), the imaginary ones launched through them, and the participation of contemporary media in the legalization of arbitrary relationships.

Author(s): Maria Panova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2019

Author(s): Caterina Preda / Language(s): English Issue: 12/2019

Although the Roma Holocaust in Romania has been documented, and there is an officialpolicy to recall this historical fact, its memory is marginal in contemporary Romaniansociety. This article analyzes four recent examples of art of memorialization of the RomaHolocaust in Romania and argues these artistic forms of memory play an important role inthe building of a more comprehensive public memory of the Porrajmos. The analysis usesan interdisciplinary approach, which combines theoretical resources that belong to the studyof cultural memory with a focus on artistic memory, and the analysis of the relationshipbetween art, politics, and memory. The examples of artistic memorialization have two aims:to render visible the historical trauma through the use of testimonies of the survivors and toprovide further documentary sources of this historical trauma.

Проявления на Експресионизма в изкуствата

Author(s): Krista Kirova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2018

Expressionism, cradled by Germany, flourished during the so-called "Expressionist Decade" (1910-1920). Its most common socio-cultural precondition is the crisis in the public and moral-ethical consciousness on the eve and during the First World War. It expresses the will to change a generation that grew up with the nightmares of war and the deepening decline of bourgeois-philistine consciousness. Like most modernist trends in art, expressionism uses the provocation of "good taste," the breaking of outdated traditional orders and aesthetic habits. The meaning of the term is derived from "expression" - an expression of feelings, which in the most general sense is the artist's desire to project the torments of his own soul on the depicted object.
