Abstract

Howard Hawks (1896-1977) est l’un des plus importants réalisateurs du cinéma hollywoodien : tout spectateur a vu un jour au moins l’un de ses films (Scarface, Le Grand sommeil, Les Hommes préfèrent les blondes ou encore Rio Bravo). Cinéaste de référence de la « politique des auteurs » lancée par les Cahiers du cinéma dans les années cinquante, « redécouvert » alors par une critique américaine qui l’a longtemps mésestimé, on pouvait croire que le cinéma de Hawks avait livré tous ses secrets. Mais depuis le début des années quatre-vingt, mis à part des rééditions d’articles ou l’excellente biographie critique de Todd McCarthy, l’esthétique du cinéma a délaissé Hawks, peut-être trop marqué par des théories dont on est revenu. Pourtant, cette œuvre, par sa rigueur, reste aujourd’hui encore l’une des plus actuelles du cinéma classique, dont certains réalisateurs contemporains, comme Quentin Tarantino, John Carpenter ou Robert Zemeckis, ne cessent de faire l’éloge. Il faut donc réinterroger aussi bien le cinéma hawksien que les discours critiques qui ont contribué à en bâtir les modèles de réception depuis plus de cinquante ans. Telle est la double tâche que se propose cet ouvrage. Rompant avec une certaine vision de l’auteur au cinéma, il entend dégager de l’analyse des films une autre approche du cinéma hawksien, fondée sur une esthétique de la retenue. Il donne également l’occasion d’une nouvelle interprétation de la transparence du cinéma hollywoodien.

Abstract

"The National Basketball Association has evolved dramatically from the circuit originally formed by the merger of the National Basketball League and the Basketball Association of America in 1949. The Waterloo Hawks - the only major league team in Iowa's history - took the court that winter as modern professional basketball was starting toward a still uncertain future. Ball Hawks; The Arrival and Departure of the NBA in Iowa, describes how Waterloo happened to be on hand at this moment in the sport's history and why the city was ultimately left behind after a short stay"--

Abstract

In 1895, Louis Lumière supposedly said that cinema is "an invention without a future." James Naremore uses this legendary remark as a starting point for a meditation on the so-called death of cinema in the digital age, and as a way of introducing a wide-ranging series of his essays on movies past and present. These essays include discussions of authorship, adaptation, and acting; commentaries on Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Vincente Minnelli, John Huston, and Stanley Kubrick; and reviews of more recent work by non-Hollywood directors Pedro Costa, Abbas Kiarostami, Raúl Ruiz, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Important themes recur: the relations between modernity, modernism, and postmodernism; the changing mediascape and death of older technologies; and the need for robust critical writing in an era when print journalism is waning and the humanities are devalued. The book concludes with essays on four major American film critics: James Agee, Manny Farber, Andrew Sarris, and Jonathan Rosenbaum.

Abstract

This book presents the latest solutions in fuel cell (FC) and renewable energy implementation in mobile and stationary applications. The implementation of advanced energy management and optimization strategies are detailed for fuel cell and renewable microgrids, and for the multi-FC stack architecture of FC/electric vehicles to enhance the reliability of these systems and to reduce the costs related to energy production and maintenance. Cyber-security methods based on blockchain technology to increase the resilience of FC renewable hybrid microgrids are also presented. Therefore, this book is for all readers interested in these challenging directions of research.

Abstract

Discrete optimization is an important area of Applied Mathematics with a broad spectrum of applications in many fields. This book results from a Special Issue in the journal Mathematics entitled ‘Advances and Novel Approaches in Discrete Optimization’. It contains 17 articles covering a broad spectrum of subjects which have been selected from 43 submitted papers after a thorough refereeing process. Among other topics, it includes seven articles dealing with scheduling problems, e.g., online scheduling, batching, dual and inverse scheduling problems, or uncertain scheduling problems. Other subjects are graphs and applications, evacuation planning, the max-cut problem, capacitated lot-sizing, and packing algorithms.

Abstract

"Wartime Kiss is a personal meditation on the haunting power of American photographs and films from World War II and the later 1940s. Starting with a powerful reinterpretation of one of the most famous photos of all time, Alfred Eisenstaedt's image of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square on V-J Day, Alexander Nemerov goes on to examine an idiosyncratic collection of mostly obscure or unknown images and movie episodes--from a photo of Jimmy Stewart and Olivia de Havilland lying on a picnic blanket in the Santa Barbara hills to scenes from such films as Twelve O'Clock High and Hold Back the Dawn. Erotically charged and bearing traces of trauma even when they seem far removed from the war, these photos and scenes seem to hold out the promise of a palpable and emotional connection to those years. Through a series of fascinating stories, Nemerov reveals the surprising background of these bits of film and discovers unexpected connections between the war and Hollywood, from an obsession with aviation to Anne Frank's love of the movies. Beautifully written and illustrated, Wartime Kiss vividly evokes a world in which Margaret Bourke-White could follow a heroic assignment photographing a B-17 bombing mission over Tunis with a job in Hollywood documenting the filming of a war movie. Ultimately this is a book about history as a sensuous experience, a work as mysterious, indescribable, and affecting as a novel by W. G. Sebald"--
