The ArtsAugust 2011Vertiginous Mirrors
The animation of the visual image and early modern travel
by Rose Marie San Juan, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
In early modern Europe, the visual image began to move, not only as it traveled across great distances but also due to the introduction of innovative visual formats that produced animation within the image itself. This book traces the arduous journeys of visual images through evidence of their use and reproduction along missionary routes from Europe to India, Japan, China, Brazil and Chile. It argues that missionary world travel was crucial to the early modern re-animation of the image through devices such as the reflection of the mirror, the multiple registers of vision of the anthropomorphic image, the imaginative and disorienting possibilities of the utopic image, and even the reconstitution of the sacred image with memories of the relation of travel to life and death. Within the journeys traced in the book, the visual image forged new connections between different locations and across different cultures, accumulating increasingly entangled histories. Even more intriguingly, these images frequently returned to Europe, changed but still recognisable, there to be used again with an awareness of their earlier travels. ;

March 2010Alfred Hitchcock
by Thilo Wydra
»Die Leute glauben, ich sei ein Monster.« A. H. Alfred Hitchcock: Ein Name, der zu einer Marke wurde. Jeder scheint ihn zu kennen, sein gezeichnetes Profil, seine exzentrischen Cameo-Auftritte in den eigenen Filmen. Und dennoch bleibt der weltweit populärste Filmregisseur als Mensch ein Unbekannter. Angst und Phobien bestimmten das Leben und Arbeiten des scheuen »Master of Suspense«, der mit Vertigo, Psycho oder Die Vögel zeitlose Meisterwerke der Filmgeschichte schuf.

June 2009Die Gefangene
Nach Motiven von Marcel Proust
by Chantal Akerman
Als »Epiker der Innenschau«, so der Filmjournalist Thilo Wydra, gelte Proust gemeinhin als unverfilmbar. Dennoch wagte sich die belgische Regisseurin Chantal Akerman an den fünften Band der Recherche. Tatsächlich handele es sich um »eine freie, sehr freie Adaption«, antwortet sie im Interview. Akerman verlegt die Handlung ins Paris der Gegenwart, verzichtet weitgehend auf jede Psychologie, behält lediglich die Konstellation bei. Simon (wie Marcel im Film heißt) lebt mit Ariane (Albertine) in Paris und verfolgt sie auf Schritt und Tritt, wobei Akerman mit Hitchcocks Vertigo ein Meisterwerk zitiert, das ebenfalls dem Thema Obsession gewidmet ist. Indem sie entschieden auf die Mittel des Films setzt, anstatt die der Sprache nachzuahmen, zeige Akerman anderen Proust-Interpreten, »wie’s gemacht wird« (Fritz Göttler).

The ArtsDecember 2015Classical Hollywood cinema
Point of view and communication
by James Zborowski
This book offers a new approach to filmic point of view by combining close analyses informed by the tools of narratology and philosophy with concepts derived from communication studies. Each chapter stages a conversation between two masterpieces of classical Hollywood cinema and one critical concept that can enrich our understanding of them: Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958) and Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (Frank Capra, 1936) are interpreted in relation to point of view; Anatomy of a Murder (Otto Preminger, 1959) and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (John Ford, 1962) are considered with reference to the concept of distance; and Letter from an Unknown Woman (Max Ophuls, 1948) and Only Angels Have Wings (Howard Hawks, 1939) are explored through the lens of communication. Each encounter reveals new, exciting and mutually illuminating ways of appreciating not only these case studies, but also the critical concepts at stake. ;

Critical essays on Bernard Herrmann and Alfred Hitchcock
by Edited by Steven Rawle, Kevin J. Donnelly
This volume of new, spellbinding essays explores the tense relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann, featuring new perspectives on their collaboration. Featuring essays by leading scholars of Hitchcock's work, including Richard Allen, Charles Barr, Murray Pomerance, Sidney Gottlieb and Jack Sullivan, the collection examines the working relationship between the pair and the contribution that Herrmann's work brings to Hitchcock's idiom. Examining key works, including The Man Who Knew Too Much, Psycho, Marnie and Vertigo, the essays explore approaches to sound, music, collaborative authorship and the distinctive contribution that Herrmann's work with Hitchcock brought to this body of films, examining the significance, meanings, histories and enduring legacies of one of film history's most important partnerships. By engaging with the collaborative work of Hitchcock and Herrmann, the book explores the ways in which film directors and composers collaborate, how this collaboration is experienced in the film text, and the ways in which such partnerships inspire later work.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)2020Three tenches for Maria
by Serhiy Osoka
Each novel by Serhiy Osoka is a small-big story of an ordinary man who would probably stay unnoticed on this Earth if not for the attentive master of words. Because he does not simply write but creates a three-dimensional picture of human life with a few strokes, it seems you can hear how reeds rustle, fish splash in the pond, apples fall, old doors creak, and how man sighing, muffled laughter, and sobs mix with the wind. And you can also feel the smells - sometimes thick and dense to dizziness, at times volatile and transparent, like a floral scent. Somewhere in this 3D format, you see a man with all his beautiful and ugly features, rough surfaces, and deep recesses of his troubled soul. The plots of these novels may seem minor or secondary, but they are only the key to the portal that leads you to the world of great literature.
