Book Description
The widespread opinion is that Northrop Frye’s influence reached its zenith in the 1960s and 1970s, after which point he became obsolete, his work buried in obscurity. This almost universal opinion is summed up in Terry Eagleton’s 1983 rhetorical question, "Who now reads Frye?" In The Reception of Northrop Frye, Robert D. Denham catalogues what has been written about Frye – books, articles, translations, dissertations and theses, and reviews – in order to demonstrate that the attention Frye’s work has received from the beginning has progressed at a geomantic rate. Denham also explores what we can discover once we have a fairly complete record of Frye’s reception in front of us – such as Hayden White’s theory of emplotments applied to historical writing and Byron Almén’s theory of musical narrative. The sheer quantity of what has been written about Frye reveals that the only valid response to Eagleton’s rhetorical question is "a very large and growing number," the growth being not incremental but exponential.

La guerrilla de celuloide: resistencia estética y militancia política en el cine español (1967-1981)

Pages : 601
Book Description
Tesis Doctoral / Disertación del año 2006 en eltema Filmología, Nota: 10, Universitat Jaume I, Idioma: Español, Resumen: En la actualidad, cuando la realidad del mundo se ha visto reducida a un simulacro, cuando se ha desvinculado de tal modo la imagen de la reflexión y de la acción, cuando el poder se regocija en su propio espectáculo, y sus mecanismos se valen de la imagen de un modo perversamente sutil, se nos antoja urgente un ejercicio de investigación que reabra debates que se pretendían cerrados y permita aportaciones presentes en el tan resbaladizo terreno de la representación fílmica y su componente político. La progresiva implantación en el terreno audiovisual de una visión orientada inequívocamente a la industria y al rendimiento económico, que comprende el arte como un producto cultural mercantilizable, es hoy un hecho consumado. En nuestra investigación pretendemos dar cuenta de algunos aspectos de la estrecha vinculación entre imagen y poder político como parcela particular de una más amplia relación entre arte e intervención política. Nuestro punto de vista de partida se basa en el análisis de algunas de las tendencias del cine documental en la historia que han puesto de manifiesto una actitud de beligerancia política y estética. Nos interesa de estas estéticas el hecho de que no son homogéneas, ni estáticas, que están en constante evolución y cambian según su procedencia. Sus autores son creadores cinematográficos que frecuentan e incluso participan de otras actividades artísticas y movimientos culturales o políticos, lo cual inserta su práctica en un contexto socio-cultural más amplio en el que interaccionan e influyen a la vez que son influidos. Implementan estrategias de representación diversas que se sitúan en planos discursivos muchas veces contrapuestos. Suponen, pues, una particular investigación de las potencialidades expresivas, políticas, poéticas, sociales y psicológicas del dispositivo cinematográfico. También el contexto de marginalidad

Film Cultures
Author: Janet Harbord
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1412932327
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
"Film Cultures is thought-provoking and challenging. By opening film theory up to the many simultaneous networks of relation (that is, the cultures) of film, it asks both viewer and student to take film more seriously." - Communication Research Trends "Film Cultures weaves together insights from cultural theory and film studies to provide a complex and absorbing theoretical account of contemporary film culture. Harbord writes with authority, imagination and wit and her delicate deployment of modernist and postmodernist cultural accounts makes rewarding reading." - Christine Geraghty, Professor of Film and Television, University of Glasgow Film Cultures argues that our tastes for film connect us to social, spatial and temporal networks of exchange and meaning. Whether we view film in the multiplex, arthouse or the gallery, as cinema premiere, video hire or from a cable channel, whether we approach film as a singular object or a hypertext linked to ancillary products, our relationship to film is inhabiting a culture. Shifting the focus of film analysis from the text to paths of circulation, Film Cultures questions how film connects us to social status, and national and global affiliations.

Academic Capitalism in the Age of Globalization
Author: Brendan Cantwell
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN: 1421415380
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Understanding higher education and the knowledge economy in the Age of Globalization. Today, nearly every aspect of higher education—including student recruitment, classroom instruction, faculty research, administrative governance, and the control of intellectual property—is embedded in a political economy with links to the market and the state. Academic capitalism offers a powerful framework for understanding this relationship. Essentially, it allows us to understand higher education’s shift from creating scholarship and learning as a public good to generating knowledge as a commodity to be monetized in market activities. In Academic Capitalism in the Age of Globalization, Brendan Cantwell and Ilkka Kauppinen assemble an international team of leading scholars to explore the profound ways in which globalization and the knowledge economy have transformed higher education around the world. The book offers an in-depth assessment of the theoretical foundations of academic capitalism, as well as new empirical insights into how the process of academic capitalism has played out. Chapters address academic capitalism from historical, transnational, national, and local perspectives. Each contributor offers fascinating insights into both new conceptual interpretations of and practical institutional and national responses to academic capitalism. Incorporating years of research by influential theorists and building on the work of Sheila Slaughter, Larry Leslie, and Gary Rhoades, Academic Capitalism in the Age of Globalization provides a provocative update for understanding academic capitalism. The book will appeal to anyone trying to make sense of contemporary higher education.
