Polish Film
When the Lumiere brothers introduced the motion picture in 1895, Poland was a divided and suffering nation--yet Polish artists found their way into the new world of cinema. Boleslaw Matuszewski created his first documentary films in 1896, and Poland's first movie house was established in 1908. Despite war and repression, Polish cinema continued to grow and to reach for artistic heights. The twentieth century closed with new challenges, but a new generation of Polish filmmakers stood ready to meet them. Here is a complete history of the Polish cinema through the end of the twentieth century, with special attention to political and economic contexts.
All that Gothic
This book is an introduction to the history, aesthetic and key themes of the Gothic and the approaches and theories that have been applied to Gothic texts and films. The volume explores the cultural resonances created by the genre in 18th and 19th century texts and 20th century literature and film.
The Hitler Filmography
From the time his Nazi regime launched World War II to the present, Adolf Hitler has frequently been depicted on film. He was largely ridiculed at first, since laughter was a powerful weapon and morale booster for nations at war. Later representations were more somber and realistic, yet Hitler's image never escaped the undertone of scorn. This book concentrates exclusively on portrayals of Hitler in feature films and television miniseries. The filmography covers films with a factual historical storyline, fictional stories, alternate histories, parodies and films where actors playing Hitler have a cameo. Each entry provides production credits, an annotated cast list, an analysis and synopsis of the film, an evaluation of the actor playing Hitler in terms of the strengths and weaknesses of his portrayal, and representative quotations from the film.
Femmes de spectacle (danse, opéra, théâtre)
Comment une femme pouvait-elle s’affirmer et faire carrière dans le monde du spectacle entre 1650 et 1914 ? Dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, les quinze études réunies dans ce volume apportent des éléments de réponse à travers l’analyse de parcours d’autrices, de compositrices et de performeuses aux profils très variés, actives dans les domaines du théâtre, de la danse et de l’opéra. Ces études proposent une meilleure compréhension et contextualisation des obstacles et préjugés auxquels ces artistes ont dû faire face dans un milieu socio-professionnel majoritairement masculin, ainsi qu’une interprétation analytique des stratégies artistiques et discursives mises en place pour les surmonter. Il en ressort une approche renouvelée et une meilleure connaissance de notre matrimoine culturel.
Buddenbrooks von Thomas Mann und Noce i dnie (Nächte und Tage) von Maria Da̜browska
In diesem Buch wird der Versuch unternommen, den ersten nobelpreisgekrönten Roman Thomas Manns mit dem ersten, für den Nobelpreis vorgeschlagenen und mit dem Staatlichen Literaturpreis ausgezeichneten Roman der polnischen Schriftstellerin Maria Dąbrowska zu vergleichen. Untersucht werden dabei neben dem scheinbar anachronistischen Realismus der Darstellung auch die Grundideen der regional, genealogisch und biografisch geprägten Romane. Sowohl der deutsche Autor als auch die polnische Autorin nehmen darin Stellung zu ihrer an humanistischen Traditionen reichen Heimat und wollen am Vorabend der Weltkriege vor der «Herrschaft des Chauffeurtypus» (K.-J. Rothenberg, 1969) warnen. Beide Meisterwerke beweisen, dass ihre Autoren mit der Tradition der europäischen Musik eng vertraut waren und Erkenntnissen großer «(National)philosophen» (Schopenhauer, Abramowski u.a.) zu folgen vermochten.
