Dialectical Modes of Nature in Terrence Malick’s ‘The Thin Red Line’

June 4, 2013/2 Comments/in Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

by Tyson Wils Introduction In Alfred Schmidt’s The Concept of Nature in Marx it is argued that dialectical materialism introduced a ‘completely new understanding of man’s [sic] relation to nature (and) went far beyond all the bourgeois theories of nature presented by the Enlightenment’.[1] Essentially this new understanding showed that nature is real but also […]

Her green materials: Mourning, ‘Melancholia’, and not-so-vital materialisms

June 3, 2013/in Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

by Catherine Lord Introduction: Slow greens, impending greys ‘I’m trudging through a grey woolly yarn. It’s clinging to my legs. It’s really heavy to drag along’, says Justine (Kirsten Dunst) to her sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourgh). Draped like a corpse in the whiteness of her wedding dress, Justine is immobile in a state of acute […]

Scalar entanglement in digital media ecologies

June 3, 2013/2 Comments/in Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

by Sy Taffel Introduction Media ecology presents an emergent, non-representational approach towards the study of media systems. This article seeks to extend the theoretical underpinnings of media ecology by introducing the concept of scale – or more precisely scalar entanglement – as a way by which media ecology can usefully engage with a range of […]

Greenface: Exploring green skin in contemporary Hollywood cinema

June 3, 2013/in Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

by Brady Hammond In the natural world human skin color has a limited range of pigments varying from dark brown to light pink. Still, even this small spectrum has been enough to fuel countless histories of prejudice where skin color has provided the justification for hate and violence. In the Western world where whiteness is […]

Disharmonious designs: Colour contrast and curiosity in Jane Campion’s ‘In the Cut’

June 3, 2013/in Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

by Liz Watkins An analysis of colour in Jane Campion’s In the Cut (2003) finds that the juxtaposition of red with its complementary colour green maps the visual connections and intercommunications of the female protagonist Frannie Avery and her sister Pauline. The chromatic schema of In the Cut juxtaposes red and green hues in a […]

A filmic exploration by means of botanical imagery: Notes on Rose Lowder

June 3, 2013/1 Comment/in Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

by Enrico Camporesi I’d never been on a farm and am not even sure which are begonias, dahlias, or petunias. Plants, like algebra, have a habit of looking alike and being different, or looking different and being alike; consequently mathematics and botany confuse me. – Elenore Smith Bowen When looking at what can be considered […]

Painting the town green: From urban teleology to urban ecology in New York cinema, 1960-present

June 3, 2013/in Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

by Brady Fletcher & Cortland Rankin New York City is perhaps the most iconic manifestation of urbanity in the 20th century. While the Manhattan skyline dominates the New York imaginary American cinema has also consistently qualified and complicated this architecturally-determined perspective by re-imagining the city in ecological terms. Over the past half-century many films set […]

Greening media studies: An interview with Richard Maxwell and Toby Miller

June 3, 2013/1 Comment/in Interviews, Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

by Jaap Kooijman Not often does reading an academic book make you feel uncomfortable, pushing you out of your comfort zone as a scholar and consumer. Greening the Media (New York: Oxford University Press, 2012) by Richard Maxwell and Toby Miller is such a book – an ‘inconvenient truth’ that forces one to realise that […]

Playing with digital byproduct data: An indicative example

June 3, 2013/1 Comment/in Exhibition Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

It is fairly common knowledge that all sorts of everyday interactions and engagements with media are captured as byproduct data.[1] It is probably also fairly well-known that such data is routinely harvested by capitalist organisations which then use it in an attempt to predict things about us.[2] However, the ways in which this byproduct data […]

Indigenous film festival as eco-testimonial encounter: The 2011 Native Film + Video Festival

June 3, 2013/1 Comment/in Festival Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2013_'Green' /by Greg DeCuir

In struggles for political and cultural recognition many Indigenous groups employ visual media to make their concerns heard. Amongst these various channels for media activism are Indigenous film festivals which, in the words of festival coordinator Amalia Cόrdova, work to convey ‘a sense of solidarity with Indigenous struggles’.[1] Cόrdova’s essay on Indigenous film festivals appears […]

The Festival of Central and Eastern European Film Wiesbaden,[1] also known as ‘goEast’, is a key event on the German film festival calendar.
