Филмова адаптация за „Оскар" (авторският филм „Строго охранявани влакове" през теориите за адаптацията)

Author(s): Ivanka Shisheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The article explores the film adaptation process of Bohumil Hrabal’s worldly praised novella Closely Watched Trains. It aims at providing an adequate and sufficient set of approaches to exploring a particular film adaptation from a contemporary point of view. The text explores the possibilities of the socialistic historical reality, the art cinema, the auteur theory of the director’s camera-pen, and the adaptation theories in analysing the Oscar awarded film by Jiří Menzel created with the screenplay partnership of the renowned underground literary author Bohumil Hrabal. Main concerns of the study are: proposing a set of methods and approaches to analysis in the current film case study; elaborating on the notions of perceiving Closely Watched Trains as a Czechoslovak New Wave product, an auteuristic project, and a cult movie; and further expanding on the critically acknowledged idea of the distinctive screen co-authorship between Bohumil Hrabal and Jiří Menzel.

Medioznawstwo i lingwistyka transdyscyplinarne

Author(s): Bogusław Skowronek / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The text discusses the basic tenets of media linguistics: a transdisciplinary sub-discipline, combining culturally oriented linguistics with media studies, whose aim is to analyse all media-motivated linguistic phenomena. The main theoretical foundations of media linguistics (apart from media studies and contemporary culture) are cognitive linguistics (such approach involves treating media as essential epistemological formations of reality) and critical discourse analysis.

O potrzebie antropologizowania. Metoda i praktyka w badaniach nad audiowizualnością

Author(s): Karina Banaszkiewicz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Anthropology suggests a particular type of reading and, therefore, it is always an anthropology of something. If it is to be an anthropology of classical and digital-wave audio-vision media, certain conditions must be fulfilled. The first step is choosing the module. In relation to this module communication will be understood and its field will be organised. Conversion is based on repetition and differentiation of cultural contents by means of accessible powers. When the point of reference is man, the recurrent elements are corporeality, tools and contents. Variables are regulated by conventions of particular cultures. The second step is defining the field of studies. In the Euro-Atlantic context it is an endotic field. Practicing communication with the use of numerous media makes the field familiar and transparent. Currently the field is comprised of: audiovisual images, 3D objects and their mutations, multi-sensual media events. The third step towards the anthropology of media is defining conditions for media forms to function in the role of reality. The precondition is space and its relations with the user. Recognising a visual form as space is fundamental for the establishment of the real. The anthropos module involves both reality and its classes: real, imaginary, fictions, abstractions, virtuality. Subsequent steps in media studies, when man is a point of reference, require taking account of the apparatus (media and cognitive). Such a reflection leads through cultures of context and cultures of a sociological group.

Antropologia obrazu jako myślenie hermeneutyczne w badaniach nad filmem

Author(s): Katarzyna Citko / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Contemporary culture is saturated with images. The expansion of the visual and the growing importance of visual representations in all spheres of human activity are mirrored in humanistic reflection, giving rise to Visual Culture Studies whose nature is interdisciplinary, built, nonetheless, upon a wide anthropological base.As pointed out by, for instance, Hans Belting in the study of image anthropology allows for determining both the subject and method of research: images communicate a certain reality, and, at the same time, they provide a particular interpretation of the reality. Anthropology requires a hermeneutic approach whose important elements are both subjectivity and externality, the very act of seeing and the way it is understood. A hermeneutic interpretation of film works allows the recipients to understand themselves and their situation in the world within the context of image that carries meaning encapsulated by references. The hermeneutic approach in the studies on perception and understanding of cinematographic works enables creative analysis and significant interpretation of works of film art on an equal footing with genre cinema and digital cinema. In fact, image, which is significant for the interpreter, is at the root of all film productions, regardless of whether it is an analog or electronic image, being a reproduction of reality or a virtual one.

Aktor jeszcze czy już performer? O perspektywach sztuki aktorskiej w filmie XXI wieku

Author(s): Piotr Skrzypczak / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

It is difficult to juxtapose the actor with the performer. Their encounter in their most extreme versions may result in interesting conclusions. In the era of global performance, which is how contemporary media is described by Jon McKenzie, the cinema itself, entangled in technology as no other discipline of art, needs refreshing in terms of self-reflection on its artistic and technological aspects. Considering technical potential of modern cinema, it has reached the stage when a basic question should be asked – where is the limit of the so-called realistic acting? The query about the status of the performer – the actor in the film – remains an open question until the revolution of complete digitalisation of the film picture takes place. But is it going to be the same cinema we all know?

Panoptykony, dyspozytywy, ekrany: media i ich reprezentacje w filmach Fritza Langa

Author(s): Tomasz Kłys / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Almost from the beginning of Fritz Langs’ oeuvre ("Der müde Tod", 1921) till his last film ("Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse", 1960) media constitute the major theme of his film output. The media are present in diegesis of Lang’s films either as technological inventions (videophone, intercom, pneumatic post, teletypewriter, radio, television, film, microphones, cameras) or are shown metaphorically (e.g., a chamber of candles as a control room of Death in "Der müde Tod" or intersubjective hallucination of concert hall audience as an allegorical representation of cinema in "Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler"). In narratives of these works media and means of communication also enable managing control over subordinates ("Spione", "Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse"), hotel guests ("Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse"), society ("Spione", "M") or mankind in general ("Der müde Tod"). Thus, it is not surprising that in Lang’s films the theme of media evokes a gloomy Orwell-like vision of pan-invigilation and total control. Its particular expressions are panopticons: places from which a ruler/controller/manager can observe and eavesdrop the part of world subjected to his/her power. As regards cinema, the medium is presented ambiguously: it is illusion and hallucination deceiving its spectators with unreal phantoms ("Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler", "Die Nibelungen"); it can fulfil the function of reviving dreams which are in reality censored by superego ("The Woman in the Window"). However, it also has the potential of revealing the truth about reality – which is demonstrated by using film as a proof of crime in first Lang’s American film – "Fury" (1936).

Życie sfilmowane. Uwagi o filmie biograficznym

Author(s): Sylwia Kołos / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

This paper is an attempt to research the phenomenon of the biopic in film culture, to identify and organise narrative strategies and types of contemporary biographic films, as well as to describe and establish new trends of the genre evolution. The author of the essay proposes a number of theories and research strategies that allow for better understanding of this cultural and film phenomenon; furthermore, those theories and strategies facilitate the analysis of the contemporary viewpoint the authors have on the biographical film (a film adaptation of a biography) itself, as well as on the image of an authentic protagonist (a person). The paper begins with a brief introduction concerning the beginnings of the biographic film genre from the perspective of film history.

Od kina 'noir' do 'neo-noir' – bezdroża i ślepe zaułki

Author(s): Kamila Żyto / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The article argues that film noir, though its definition remains problematic, is a living and developing trend of the modern cinema. Although the classical film noir period is usually considered to be over, the so called neo-noir films are still being produced. Evidently, there is a connection between the two and they need to be related to one another and analysed comparatively. In her paper the author takes account of this fact by showing film noir as a part of the wider cultural trend having its roots mainly in the French existential thought. Providing that the term noir is not employed exclusively in relation to films, but also literature and arts, she claims that the films regarded as noir or neo-noir are the most significant symptoms in the history of noir idea, being one of the dominating intellectual categories since the beginning of the 20th century.

„Samotnie przeciw całemu światu…". Zagrożenie, dziennikarze i media w amerykańskich filmach paranoi spiskowej lat siedemdziesiątych XX wieku

Author(s): Elżbieta Durys / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Paranoid conspiracy thrillers, as a fully developed genre, emerged in the American cinema of the 1970s. Among the reasons for its development film critics enumerate both social and political situation in the US in the 1960s and 1970s, and the tendency towards paranoid conspiracy thinking prevalent among Americans. In her article, Elżbieta Durys analyses paranoid conspiracy thrillers of the 1970s as well as the context of their development. She focuses on: "The Parallax View" (1974), "All the President’s Men" (1976), "Network" (1976), "Capricorn One" (1978), and "The China Syndrome" (1979), i.e. movies with the motif of media. A critical perspective towards the role and place of mass media in American society is attenuated by the introduction of a journalist, who tries to reveal the truth. Thus one of the key myths of American culture is reestablished – the one of the lone figure capable of defying the whole world.

'Crowdsourcing films' – szkic o zjawisku

Author(s): Paweł Sołodki / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Strategy called ‘crowdsourcing’ is based on the assumption, that people, who are usually reduced to passive recipients of culture, are able and willing to offer much more than that. The name literally means ‘receiving sources from the crowd’ and exists in many forms the most popular of which is crowdfunding: public request to a group of anonymous internauts for financial support for a given project. Nevertheless, the subject relates to many more aspects of creative work in such fields as film, music, commercials, photography or brand development. It takes the form of cloud labour, open innovation, distributed knowledge or crowd creativity in a wide sense, and rewards self-reliance, creativity and passion. Authors of such projects see sufficient effects of their work or receive financial support in faster and quicker way, and without needless bureaucracy or expenses, while ‘the crowd’ receives one more opportunity to express itself through a more or less charitable activity, sharing its passion or admiration for an artist via mass media channel. In the article the author reflects upon different forms in which crowdsourcing presents itself in various fields of audio-visual culture: music videos, documentaries or fictional films. He also studies its relations to concepts of collective intelligence, knowledge community or sharing culture.

Čierne dni filmového dokumentu

Author(s): Milan Černák / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Moje spomienky na rok 1968 sa vždy začínajú a potom aj končia pri fi lmovej reportáži o invázii okupačných vojsk Čierne dni. Tak ako aj ten „čierny“ august evokuje v našich spomienkach celé obdobie, ktoré nazývame Pražskou jarou, odmäkom. Hoci, optimistický priebeh jari roku 1968 a jej tragický augustový koniec boli len vyvrcholením vývoja dlhšieho obdobia, takmer celej dekády šesťdesiatych rokov minulého storočia.

‘Paradoxes to Live With’: A Feminist Approach to Binka Zhelyazkova’s »The Tied Balloon«

Author(s): Lilia Tőke / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

‘No matter how strong the ties of the imagined communities of the particular Balkan nationalities may be, the Balkans as a whole do not share a feeling of togetherness; their cultural products cannot be considered products of a group of nations which co-exist and consciously explore the same “chronotrope” (Iordanova, ‘Women’). It is no accident that Dina Iordanova’s comment on the heterogenic character of the Balkan cultures (which is also relevant to Eastern European ones) comes up in a work on images of women generated through post-communist Balkan cinema. It is the most important premise that one has to consider when talking about gender relations in cinema as well as the moving image industry. Yet, after making clear that there is no place for generalization and simplification regarding the region’s cultural representations, Iordanova finds convincing traces of similarities in the gendered nature of the cinematic image, which leads her to an overall conclusion that these images do ‘not serve any feminist cause’ (Iordanova 1995:1). While Iordanova is looking at a particular corpus of films, namely gender representations in the Balkan cinematic narratives created by men, what I would like to focus on in this paper is a possible feminist interpretation of a woman director’s career and more importantly, of one particular cinematic discourse created by her.

Filmová hudba jako prostředek popularizace národních hudebních tradic

Author(s): Ondřej Musil / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

In general, the paper focuses on the potential of film music to transmit and preserve the typical features and character of national musical traditions in their authentic and stylized form. Specifically, the text introduces the musical peculiarities of selected cultures and nations, which we encounter in mainstream audiovisual works in the form of location links. The use of archival (non-original) music in some film genres is also viewed marginally. The aim of the paper is to point out the basic procedures used in film music to express the local or historical character of the narrative, musical traditions of the displayed countries and cultures, as well as the possibilities of their popularization and use in music education.

Vasif Öngören’in Tiyatrodan Sinemaya Uyarlanmiş Olan ‘Asiye Nasil Kurtulur?’ Oyun Metninin Genel İçerik Analizi

Author(s): Burak Akyüz / Language(s): Turkish Publication Year: 0

How to Asiye Nasıl Kurtulur?, written by Vasıf Öngören, the work tells about the social corruption and collapse of economic life through a woman. The work, which was adapted into a movie by Atıf Yılmaz in 1986, is considered a rich work because it can turn into another art form in this sense. The character of Asiye was dragged into a life other than what she wanted and could not establish herself as a woman. In this work, society’s wrong perspective towards women is also questioned. A general content analysis of the play, which is centered on the women’s issue, was made. It was produced from my doctoral thesis titled ‘Adaptations from Theater to Cinema and a Model Writer: Vasıf Öngören’. When evaluated under the title of Women and Art, women’s problems have been expressed in world theater texts for centuries. In this subject, which is handled in a completely objective manner by a male writer, not only a woman’s inability to realize herself, but also the criticism that she has no choice in the face of life is made. In the general plot of the play, Asiye resisted not to become a prostitute like her mother, but she failed. Her right to education was also taken away. With the deprivation of a woman’s right to education, her difficulties in working life in social life are described. The issues such as harassment and discrimination that she was unfairly exposed to in the jobs she worked before becoming a prostitute are conveyed to the reader in a clear language. In the play, which has a critical attitude on the axis of exploitation and marketing of the female body, the cruelty of the industrial and capitalist world is expressed. This play supported this critical attitude with songs.
