Films, cinemaNovember 2019Un secolo Disney: gender, femminismo ed etnia tra cinema e animazione
by Maria Saccà
Questa monografia si pone l'obiettivo di esaminare i comportamenti mediatici del pubblico nei confronti del più grande impero dell'intrattenimento cinematografico (e ad oggi dire anche televisivo e digitale), The Walt Disney Company, e al tempo stesso di analizzare come il colosso mediatico (che, a partire dagli anni Duemila, ha acquisito le case di produzione Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm e il conglomerato mediatico 21st Century Fox) risponda alle esigenze sollecitate dalla massa. Il volume mira, inoltre, a comprendere e approfondire come fenomeni sociologici quali il gender , il femminismo e l'etnia siano stati introdotti e si siano ampliati nelle vastissime produzioni dello Studio.

Films, cinemaJune 2019I mondi eterogenei di «Nightmare Before Christmas» e «La sposa cadavere» di Tim Burton
by Maria Cristina Locuratolo
L'Autrice prende in esame due film particolarmente emblematici della poetica burtoniana, “Nightmare Before Christmas” e “La sposa cadavere”, realizzati entrambi con una tecnica di animazione tanto cara al regista, la “stop-motion”. Burton, nato come illustratore, si rifà un concetto di “cinema artigianale”, da “bottega delle meraviglie” che ci regala ogni volta uno sguardo nuovo sul mondo o sui molteplici mondi possibili. Un cinema primitivo e magico. Questa monografia si configura come un viaggio attraverso i mondi burtoniani, mettendoli a confronto e analizzando la dimensione misteriosa, inesplorata e incontaminata in cui si fondono, oltre lo spazio della proiezione cinematografica.

by LUCA PERRI, SERENA GIACOMIN
From one of the most famous astrophysicist on the Web and a meteorologist from the Epson Meteo Center, an exhilarating guide to uncovering climate-related hoaxes.We are in May, in New York it freezes. Global warming, where the hell are you? this tweet by Donald Trump is just one of the many blunders of the US president, victim of a great confusion between global warming and weather. But Donald is not the only one who has unclear ideas on the subject: just open Facebook to come across hundreds of denial theories. Luca Perri and Serena Giacomin collect the best climatic lies, and then disassemble them in this book which blends laughters and sciencee theory of the Second Punic War stands out among the most famous of them: “ere was no snow on Hannibal’s Alps, this explains the crossing with elephants”. If the authors of similar posts had bothered to read the version of Tito Livio (1st century BC), they would at least have had discovered that maybe there was some ice on the mountains, and how in fact, the Carthaginian pachyderms died of cold.From sunspots to the displacement of the Earth’s axis, from legends about Greenland, to the alleged benaects of the increase in CO2, an astrophysicist and atmospheric phht together to combat functional illiteracy
