Presents a new history of Brazilian Cinema, based on its dialogue with other arts and mediaLaunches an entirely new historiographic method, drawing on intermediality in order to reconstruct the history of a national cinemaUnveils the multimedia and polymathic wealth behind the various historical periods in Brazilian cinema. Provides an overarching historical coverage of Brazilian cinema, through an innovative approach that connects different periods in Brazilian film history through the multiple art and media forms interwoven in them. Proposes that different phases of a national cinema can be framed as comparable and interrelated phenomena, rather than relying on evolutionary chronologies and classical-modern or centre-periphery models. Explores new ways of understanding Brazilian film history, and the history of cinema in general. From its inception, Brazilian cinema has combined extra-filmic artistic and cultural forms, both local and imported, resulting in an original aesthetic blend. Theatre, dance, music, circus, radio, television and the plastic arts left a distinctive mark on Brazilian cinema’s poetics and politics, as can be observed in a host of fascinating phenomena analysed in this book, including: the film prologues that connected the screen to the stage in the 1920s; the chanchada musical comedies, inflected by vaudeville theatre and the radio; the manguebeat and árido movie movements that blurred the boundaries between music and film; and contemporary multimedia installations and other experiments. By adopting intermediality as a historiographic method, this book reconstructs the history and cultural wealth behind filmic expressions in Brazilian cinema.

"This book charts the ways in which intermediality - the crossing of borders between film and other arts and media - can provide an encompassing, inclusive and non-teleological understanding of film history. Moving across diverse approaches, technologies, national contexts and artistic styles, the collection depicts a clear as much as complex trajectory of cinematic phenomena according to the medial and artistic interactions they require and produce. Visions of the 'evolution' of cinema have traditionally hinged on the axis of World War II that separates so-called 'classical' Hollywood cinema from a purported 'modern' European-style production, a scheme that subjects the entire world to the cinematic history of two hegemonic centres. In turn, histories of film as a technological medium have focused on the specificity of cinema as it gradually separated from the other art and medial forms at its base - theatre, dance, fairground spectacle, painting, literature, still photography and other pre-cinematic modes. Taking an ambitious step forward with relation to these theories, this book places its bet on the fluid quality of the film form itself. In so doing, it opens up to an array of exciting and often neglected artistic expressions worldwide as they permeate and interconnect films across temporal, geographical and cultural borders. By observing the ebb and flow of film's contours within the bounds of other artistic and medial expressions, this collection aspires to establish a flexible historical platform for the moving form of film, posited, from production to consumption, as a transforming and transformative medium"--

Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de soutenir l'intérêt croissant porté à l'intermédialité, sans pour autant perdre de vue ses implications épistémiques dans une réflexion théorique plus large. Afin de rendre compte de l'aspect polysémique de ce concept, cet ouvrage opte pour une approche croisée consistant à réunir des auteurs théoriciens et/ou praticiens issus d'horizons culturels et artistiques divergents. Les textes rassemblés ici tentent d'apporter un éclairage nouveau sur ce concept opératoire à partir de ses rapports de plus en plus dialectiques avec la création artistique actuelle. Pour ce faire, ils proposent d'étudier un éventail de pratiques intermédiales peu ou prou récentes ; et ce à travers une méthodologie transversale fondée essentiellement sur l'appréhension d'une interférence entre les différents médias artistiques en jeu. C'est bien pourquoi la question de la porosité ou de l'« effrangement » des frontières disciplinaires constitue le fil rouge de ce collectif

Le présent volume se demande en quoi le discours scientifique est spécifique en tant que fait et pratique intermédiatiques, et en quoi le principe intermédial participe de cette spécificité. À l'examen des entrelacs entre sciences et intermédialité, il est envisagé une redéfinition des énonciations scientifiques en tant que processus intermédiatiques. Les articles contenus dans ce volume postulent une révision des théories et approches scienti ques en général et des sciences sociales en particulier. Ils posent le discours scienti que comme institutionnellement original, ouvert, métadiscursif, interdisciplinaire, relevant de l'heuristique et de l'herméneutique que la perspective intermédiale sert justement à mieux appréhender

This book argues that narrative literature very often, if not always, include significant amounts of what appears to be extra-literary material - in form and in content - and that we too often ignore this dimension of literature. It offers an up to date overview and discussion of intermedial theory, and it facilitates a much-needed dialogue between the burgeoning field of intermedial studies on the one side and the already well-developed methods of literary analysis on the other. The book aims at working these two fields together into a productive working method. It makes evident, in a methodologically succinct way, the necessity of approaching literature with an intermedial terminology by way of a relatively simple but never the less productive three-step analytic method. In four in-depth case studies of Anglophone texts ranging from Nabokov, Chandler and Tobias Wolff to Jennifer Egan, it demonstrates that medialities matter.
