Abstract

Standard Hollywood narrative movies prescribe linear narratives and cue the viewer to expect predictable outcomes and adopt a closed state of mind. There are, however, a small number of movies that, through the presentation of alternate narrative paths, open the mind to thoughts of choice and possibility. Through the study of several key movies for which this concept is central, such as Sliding Doors, Run Lola Run, Inglourious Basterds, and Rashomon, Nitzan Ben Shaul examines the causes and implications of optional thinking and how these movies allow for more open and creative possibilities. This book examines the methods by which standard narrative movies close down thinking processes and deliver easy pleasures to the viewer whilst demonstrating that this is not the only possibility and that optional thinking can be both stimulating and rewarding.

Abstract

Video games, YouTube channels, Blu-ray discs, and other forms of "new" media have made theatrical cinema seem "old." A sense of "cinema lost" has accompanied the ascent of digital media, and many worry film's capacity to record the real is fundamentally changing. Yet the Surrealist movement never treated cinema as a realist medium and understood our perceptions of the real itself to be a mirage. Returning to their interpretation of film's aesthetics and function, this book reads the writing, films, and art of Luis Buñuel, Salvador Dalí, Man Ray, André Breton, André Bazin, Roland Barthes, Georges Bataille, Roger Caillois, and Joseph Cornell and recognizes their significance for the films of David Cronenberg, Nakata Hideo, and Atom Egoyan; the American remake of the Japanese Ring (1998); and a YouTube channel devoted to Rock Hudson. Offering a positive alternative to cinema's perceived crisis of realism, this innovative study enriches the meaning of cinematic spectatorship in the twenty-first century.

Abstract

Tout le monde voit des films, que ce soit sur grand écran ou sur écran digital. Mais quels sont les processus mentaux que nous mettons en œuvre pour comprendre et apprécier un film ? La réception filmique n?est pas passive, même si elle est souvent silencieuse, et elle requiert des procédures variées ? perceptives et intellectuelles ? pour interpréter ce que nous voyons et entendons à l?écran. Notre mémoire à court et à long terme joue en particulier un rôle important pour relier les différents événements qui se succèdent au cours de la projection. On propose ici une approche renouvelée de cette question en soulignant la diversité des procédures mises en œuvre qui sont également utilisées pour la compréhension d?autres textes et d?autres productions culturelles. Mais le cinéma, pour sa plus grande part, relève de la fiction : comment interprète-t-on cet aspect essentiel du cinéma ? Qu?est-ce qui, à l?écran, distingue la fiction de la vérité, et comment fait-on le partage entre les deux ? Et enfin, quel plaisir parfois paradoxal tirons-nous de cet univers fictionnel ? L?appréciation filmique sera ainsi au cœur de la réflexion à travers notamment une comparaison avec d?autres formes de loisir culturel.

Abstract

Quest’opera, frutto del lavoro di diversi autori, tutti psichiatri appassionati di cinema, è un testo originale che testimonia la sterminata cinematografia in cui si ritrae la sofferenza psichiatrica e offre un metodo per apprendere la psicopatologia. Il libro contiene più di 130 schede di opere cinematografiche, suddivise in capitoli dedicati ad aree psicopatologiche specifiche, in cui gli autori analizzano l’intera sceneggiatura del film ponendo grande attenzione ai sintomi, alle interpretazioni dei meccanismi psichici profondi, valorizzando al tempo stesso la clinica in tutti i suoi aspetti. Questo approccio consente al lettore di vedere i film con uno sguardo nuovo e arricchito di conoscenze. Il volume è rivolto a psicologi, psichiatri e studenti e costituisce uno strumento utile sia per la fruizione personale, sia per la formazione professionale e culturale.

Abstract

Has political propaganda ever been effective? To what extent do African-American families interpret their favourite TV show differently from their white neighbours? Are romance novels and teenage magazines reactionary fantasies or do they provide women with an important space of their own? The Audience Studies Reader brings together key writings exploring questions of reception and interpretation, reprinting forgotten pieces and combining key essays with new research. Beginning with a general introduction to the Reader, each extract is placed in its historical context with specially written section prefaces and suggestions for further reading. With essays from leading scholars such as Theodor Adorno, Michel de Certeau, John Fiske, Richard Hoggart, Angela McRobbie, Laura Mulvey and Janice Radway, sections address: the paradigm shift - from 'effects' to 'uses and gratifications'; moral panic and censorship; the active audience and reading as resistance; shifts in screen theory - the spectator and the audience; the fan and the audience; female audiences; nation and ethnicity. The conclusion discusses the effects of Internet 'overflow' and the increased level of interactivity. The Audience Studies Reader provides a guide to thinking about the audience, and suggests new ways of looking at the relationship between media texts and those who receive, consume and interpret them.

Abstract

This groundbreaking edited collection is the first major study to explore the intersection between cognitive theory and documentary film studies, focusing on a variety of formats, such as first-person, wildlife, animated and slow TV documentary, as well as docudrama and web videos. Documentaries play an increasingly significant role in informing our cognitive and emotional understanding of today’s mass-mediated society, and this collection seeks to illuminate their production, exhibition, and reception. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the essays draw on the latest research in film studies, the neurosciences, cultural studies, cognitive psychology, social psychology, and the philosophy of mind. With a foreword by documentary studies pioneer Bill Nichols and contributions from both theorists and practitioners, this volume firmly demonstrates that cognitive theory represents a valuable tool not only for film scholars but also for filmmakers and practice-led researchers.
