Digging deeper: On horizontal and vertical landscapes

May 27, 2019/in Exhibition Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

Cultural theorist Raymond Williams, in his now canonical text Ideas around Nature, makes the following remark: ‘A considerable part of what we call the natural landscape … is the product of human design and human labour, and in admiring it as natural it matters very much whether we suppress the fact of labour or acknowledge […]

The film is the museum: Ken Jacobs, Gus Van Sant, Mark Lewis, and Pierre Perrault

May 27, 2019/in Features, Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

by Barbara Le Maître, translated from the French by Claire Labarbe[1] In the last twenty years, the question of the relationship between cinema and the museum has been raised in multiple theoretical and practical contexts, giving rise to a number of discussions about the exhibition of moving images, the use of the medium of film […]

Haunting surveillance: Foregrounding the spectre of the medium in CCTV and military drones

May 27, 2019/in Features, Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

by Paula Albuquerque Artistic research as modus operandi Methodologically, this artistic research project manifests in two realms: theory-based research and art practice. It involves a theoretical research to study the social and political relevance of documentary evidence produced by CCTV and military drones. This is developed in parallel with a hands-on experimental approach where I […]

Episodes of depression: Existential feelings and embodiment in ‘Sharp Objects’

May 27, 2019/in Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

by David Evan Richard Introduction This article suggests that the HBO recent limited television series Sharp Objects (created by Marti Noxon, 2018) invites spectators to temporarily inhabit the world of the depressed. Based on the novel by Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, whose previous Big Little Lies (HBO, 2017-) similarly examined […]

Historiographies of women in early cinema

May 27, 2019/in Book Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

In the recent decades, academic research on early cinema has grown remarkably. At the intersection of early cinema studies and feminist history, significant new research has revealed the hitherto overlooked presence of women, and the rich diversity of positions they held, in the first decades of film production. Feminist film historiography has an ever-expanding scope. […]

How Black Lives Matter in ‘The Wire’: A video essay

May 27, 2019/1 Comment/in Audiovisual Essays, Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

by Jason Mittell As Black Lives Matter activists pushed the issue of police violence against African-American citizens onto the broad public agenda in the summer of 2014, my mind turned to The Wire. I had watched the landmark HBO series five times, written a fair amount about it, and taught courses about the series, which […]

‘Breaking Bad’ and surrealism

May 27, 2019/in Audiovisual Essays, Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

by Angelo Restivo To begin with, I would want to stress that in this video – which juxtaposes images from the television series Breaking Bad with scenes from the archive of surrealist filmmaking – I am decidedly not claiming that these resonances and rhymes were intentional citations by the production team of the television series.

Dreading the future: Narrative dread in ‘Better Call Saul’ and contemporary television

May 27, 2019/in Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

by David W R Brown Over the past 30 years, film theorists have increasingly taken seriously the role that emotions play in our engagement with narrative art. Much of this discussion has focused on, to borrow Noël Carroll’s term, ‘garden-variety’ emotions, that is, the sorts of emotional responses that are familiar to viewers from ordinary […]

Brecht, emotion, and the reflective spectator: The case of ‘BlacKkKlansman’

May 27, 2019/in Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

by Carl Plantinga One enduring concern of film theory has been the question of what film structures and styles encourage critical, reflective, and active spectatorship. Neo-Brechtian theory has been influential in this regard, as many of Brecht’s theories regarding the epic theatre were incorporated into film theory in the 1970s, just as the field was […]

Between scenes: Glasgow’s alternative film spaces in the 1990s

May 27, 2019/in Features, Spring 2019_#Emotions /by Greg DeCuir

by Alexandra-Maria Colta and María A. Vélez-Serna Introduction[1] In the final decades of the twentieth century, the ‘creative city’ dominated cultural policy in Western Europe and provided a blueprint for the assimilation of grassroots and independent artistic practices.[2] In the United Kingdom, the emergence of Glasgow as a hub for visual arts and music in […]
