        Revolution Noir

        Autoren der russischen »neuen Welle«

        by Julia Kissina, Ingolf Hoppmann, Olga Kouvchinnikova, Annelore Nitschke, Olga Radetzkaja

        Ein Mann geht durch Moskau, verirrt sich in die Welt der Engel, ohne seine Umgebung zu verlassen. Er wird ein Doppelagent der Wirklichkeit, der dem Schöpfer auf die Spur kommen will. Paracelsus und Alfred Jarry geistern durch die Texte und Franz Kafka, der noch in den dreißiger Jahren mit Frau, Sohn und Enkelkind ein glückliches, etwas ödes Leben in Prag führte, um sich eines Tages von seinem »Wiedergänger« zu verabschieden. Hundert Jahre nach den Revolutionen des Jahres 1917 lässt Julia Kissina Autoren zu Wort kommen, die zum antirealistischen Unterstrom der russischen Literatur seit den 60er Jahren gehören. Ihre Lehrer sind Gogol und Charms; die heutigen Vertreter, wie Julia Kissina selbst, häufig Doppelbegabungen: Maler, Bildhauer, Philosophen. Wie alltägliche, scheinbar langweilige Ereignisse sich in etwas Rätselhaftes verwandeln, die Normalität aufgekündigt wird, Traum und Wahn überhand nehmen – Literatur als Wunder der Wahrnehmung ist der gemeinsame Nenner der Prosastücke. Dieses Buch hat nichts zu tun mit unserer Vorstellung von der »russischen Seele«, dem slawischen Charakter, dem ewigen Wodka und überhaupt davon, wie man im Osten lebt und denkt. Es befreit uns von den Klischees, die am Sozialismus und an Dostojewski haften, und zeigt uns ein Russland ohne Putin und seine Helden – eine Gesellschaft, die längst Teil der globalen Kultur geworden ist.

        Genre and performance: film and television

        by Christine Cornea

        Looking at contemporary film and television, this book explores how popular genres frame our understanding of on-screen performance. Previous studies of screen performance have tended to fix upon star actors, directors, or programme makers, or they have concentrated upon particular training and acting styles. Moving outside of these confines, this book provides a truly interdisciplinary account of performance in film and television and examines a much neglected area in our understanding of how popular genres and performance intersect on screen. Each chapter concentrates upon a particular genre or draws upon generic case studies in examining the significance of screen performance. Individual chapters examine contemporary film noir, horror, the biopic, drama-documentary, the western, science fiction, comedy performance in 'spoof news' programmes and the television 'sit com' and popular Bollywood films.

        Roman

        by Albert Ostermaier

        Paris 2002: Die Schauspielerin Marie Trintignant und Bertrand Cantat, Sänger der Rockband "Noir Désir", lassen sich als frisch Verliebte durch die Nächte treiben. Um sich nicht trennen zu müssen, begleitet er sie zu Dreharbeiten nach Vilnius. Sie spielt unter der Regie ihrer Mutter in einer Verfilmung des Lebens der Schriftstellerin Colette. Es kommt zu Eifersuchtsexzessen zwischen den beiden, er erschlägt sie und schläft umstandslos neben ihr ein. In einer Villa an der Côte d'Azur liegt Cathy auf dem Bett, sie scheint zu schlafen. Neben ihr Gilles, ihr Mann. Er hat den Auftrag zu einem Drehbuch über das Paar Marie-Bertrand. Gilles fällt es immer schwerer, zwischen Wirklichkeit und Fiktion zu unterscheiden, zwischen den Schnitten ins Herz und denen seines Filmscripts, er überblendet, was er wahrnimmt, mit dem, was er vor seinem inneren Kameraauge sieht. Sein Leben läuft wie ein Film an ihm vorüber. Ist er selbst auch ein Mörder, oder schreibt er sich diese Rolle nur zu? Albert Ostermaiers erster Roman ist ein faszinierendes Vexierspiel, erzählt im raschen Perspektivenwechsel, ein rasantes Gegenstück zum "Film Noir", ein dunkler Liebessong, dessen Rhythmus und Refrain den Leser in den Sog einer Geschichte ziehen.

        Medieval film

        by Anke Bernau, Bettina Bildhauer

        Medieval film explores theoretical questions about the ideological, artistic, emotional and financial investments inhering in cinematic renditions of the medieval period. What does it mean to create and watch a 'medieval film'? What is a medieval film and why are they successful? This is the first work that attempts to answer these questions, drawing, for instance, on film theory, postcolonial theory, cultural studies and the growing body of work on medievalism. Contributors investigate British, German, Italian, Australian, French, Swedish and American film, exploring topics such translation, temporality, film noir, framing and period film - and find the medieval lurking in inexpected corners. In addition it provides in-depth studies of individual films from different countries including The Birth of a Nation to Nosferatu, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Medieval Film will be of interest to medievalists working in disciplines including literature, history, to scholars working on film and in cultural studies. It will also be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and to an informed enthusiast in film or/and medieval culture.

        Über das Trinken und das Glück

        by Daniel Schreiber

        »Stellen Sie sich vor, wie Sie ein Walnussbrot aufschneiden, einen provenzalischen Ziegenkäse aus dem Einschlagpapier nehmen, ein paar Muskattrauben dazulegen und sich einen kalifornischen Pinot Noir ins Glas gießen. Wie Sie schon nach dem ersten Schluck spüren, dass jenes warme Gefühl der Entspannung durch Ihren Körper fließt. Wie Sie eine Zufriedenheit spüren, die sich ein bisschen wie Glück anfühlt.« Aber was ist, wenn es nicht bei dem einen Glas Wein bleibt, sondern regelmäßig eine Flasche oder mehr daraus wird? In seinem Bestseller Nüchtern erzählt Daniel Schreiber, wie es sich anfühlt, diese Schwelle zu übertreten. Er berichtet von einer Krankheit, von der die meisten von uns immer noch glauben, dass sie keine ist. Und von der wir annehmen, dass sie nur die anderen, aber niemals uns selbst treffen kann. Kluge Gesellschaftsanalyse, neurobiologisches Sachbuch und literarischer Erfahrungsbericht: Nüchtern ist das Aufklärungsbuch unserer Zeit. Es zeigt uns, dass das Glück nicht im trunkenen Vergessen liegt, sondern darin, ein wirkliches Leben zu führen.

        After Lambana

        by Eliza Victoria (author) / Mervin Malonzo (illustrator)

        Lambana, the realm of the Diwata, has fallen, the Magic Prohibition Act has been signed into law, and there is something wrong with Conrad’s heart. Only magic can delay his inevitable death, and so he meets with Ignacio, a friend who promises to hook him up with Diwata and magic-derived treatments, illegal though this may be. But during the course of the night, Conrad may just discover Lambana’s secrets -- and a cure to save his life.

        Eu não tenho medo

        by Niccolò Ammaniti

        The hottest summer of the century. Four houses lost among the wheat fields. The big ones are locked in the house. Six children, on their bicycles, venture into the burning and abandoned countryside. In the middle of that sea of ears hides a frightening secret, a secret that will change forever the life of one of them, Michele, a 9-year-old boy. The story is set in the torrid summer of 1978, in the countryside of an unidentified southern Italy, but evoked with rare descriptive force. In this landscape dominated by the contrast between the blinding light of the sun and the darkness of the night, Ammaniti alternates, with wise narrative moments, comedy, the world of children's relationships, the language and the burlesque wisdom of children, their tenacity, the strength of friendship and the drama of betrayal. And at the same time he sketches an unforgettable display of adult characters. A novel of self-discovery through the most extreme risk and the need to face it, Io non ho paura becomes a poignant farewell to the age of play and amazement, to the magical energy that makes us fight monsters. And it insinuates itself under the skin of all of us, like a light stab in the chest.

        The cinema of Pedro Almodóvar

        by Ana María Sanchez-Arce

        This book offers a comprehensive film-by-film analysis of Spain's most famous living director, Pedro Almodóvar. It shows how Almodóvar's films draw on various national cinemas and genres, including Spanish cinema of the dictatorship, European art cinema, Hollywood melodrama and film noir. It also argues that Almodóvar's work is a form of social critique, his films consistently engaging with and challenging stereotypes about traditional and contemporary Spain in order to address Spain's traumatic historical past and how it continues to inform the present. Drawing on scholarship in both English and Spanish, the book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of film studies and Hispanic studies, scholars of contemporary cinema and general readers with a passion for the films of Pedro Almodóvar.

        Joseph Losey

        by Colin Gardner

        The career of Wisconsin-born Joseph Losey spanned over four decades and several countries. A self-proclaimed Marxist and veteran of the 1930s Soviet agit-prop theater, he collaborated with Bertholt Brecht before directing noir B-pictures in Hollywood. A victim of McCarthyism, he later crossed the Atlantic to direct a series of seminal British films such as "Time Without Pity," "Eve," "The Servant," and "The Go-Between," which mark him as one of the cinema's greatest baroque stylists. His British films reflect on exile and the outsider's view of a class-bound society in crisis through a style rooted in the European art house tradition of Resnais and Godard. Gardner employs recent methodologies from cultural studies and poststructural theory, exploring and clarifying the films' uneasy tension between class and gender, and their explorations of fractured temporality.
