Sustainable Resilience in Women's Film and Video Organizations
This book illustrates a distinctive lineage of critical interventions in moving image culture and in the public sphere through the trajectories of a small number of film and video organizations established between the 1970s and the early 1980s in Western Europe and North America mainly by women and still operative today. The six case studies examined (Drac Màgic, Women Make Movies, Groupe Intervention Vidéo, Leeds Animation Workshop, bildwechsel, Centre Audiovisuel Simone de Beauvoir) have maintained a discrete yet continuing presence within an audiovisual industry and a cultural system dominated by institutionalized and corporate forms of production and distribution. Their longevity – quite a rarity in the independent circuit – makes a strong case for the sustainability of feminist/LGBTQ media activism in the public sphere, in spite of its low-key profile. This volume will be of interest to academicians of history and communication studies, feminist and LGBTQ topics, and gender-related cinematic culture.

Becoming Lesbian
A landmark analysis of how a marginalized subculture used modern media to transform public attitudes toward sexual desire. In Becoming Lesbian, historian Tamara Chaplin argues that the history of female same-sex intimacy is central to understanding the struggle to control the public sphere. This monumental study draws on undiscovered sources culled from cabaret culture, sexology, police files, radio, TV, photography, the Minitel (an early form of internet), and private letters, as well as over one hundred interviews filmed by the author. Becoming Lesbian demonstrates how women of diverse classes and races came to define themselves as lesbian and used public spaces and public media to exert c...

Do genocídio Da violência e Da arte contemporânea em uma republica das bananas
Do genocídio, da violência e da arte contemporânea em uma República das Bananas é um livro-desafio para o leitor que relaciona temas trágicos, porém, comuns, no exercício da dominação mediada pela figura do poder que não apresenta limites em seu desmedido interesse pelo controle. O contexto situacional nos leva às entranhas da Mesoamérica, em diferentes épocas e espaços, examinadas pelos acontecimentos históricos, por nossas próprias memórias e por aquelas emprestadas pela análise do pensamento artístico contemporâneo dos artistas guatemaltecos. Julie Brasil nos convida a enfrentar a América hispanoparlante, aquela que guarda tesouros e desventuras como um objeto do lugar-comum. Seu olhar crítico e sensível nos convoca a questionar as ações mais perturbadoras da contemporaneidade por meio do conceito de tessaio, que pode ser entendido como algo que é, mas que ao mesmo tempo não é. Omar Alonso García Martínez Artista contemporâneo, docente, pesquisador e doutor em Artes Visuais

Arte em tempos de intolerância: Theresienstadt
Ao pesquisar os tempos de intolerância, cheguei a Terezin em 2008, onde entendi de que forma se produz arte sob o signo da humilhação e da brutalidade. Foi lá também que aprendi que o mal não inibe a arte e de que maneira crianças, vítimas inocentes de uma ideologia que semeava o preconceito e o racismo, também a produziam, não obstante sem família, sem afeto, com fome e maltratados. Essa arte traduzia o novo mundo em que estavam inseridos, no qual não havia as leis do mundo anterior e uma nova estrutura de convivência humana foi introduzida. Nesse mundo, crianças, pelo simples fato de terem nascidos judias, jamais deveriam ter conhecido a palavra HOLOCAUSTO. Este trabalho pretende apresentar as diferentes formas de arte produzidas no campo de Terezin, que, após os nazistas terem dominado essa região, passou a ser conhecida como Theresienstadt.
SCUM Manifesto (English Edition)
SCUM Manifesto is a digital book bringing texts and archives about the videotape of Carole Roussopoulos and Delphine Seyrig restored and available in full in the book. The videotape filmed in 1976 is a staged reading of extracts from Valerie Solanas’s SCUM Manifesto then out of print in French translation. Delphine Seyrig translates some passages to Carole Roussopoulos who types them in the machine. In the background, a television broadcasts live images of the TV news which let us hear the apocalyptic news. Like the book, the film is a pamphlet against society dominated by the “male” image and “virile” action.
