Download or read book Mists of Regret written by Dudley Andrew and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just before World War II, French cinema reached a high point that has been dubbed the style of "poetic realism." Working with unforgettable actors like Jean Gabin and Arletty, directors such as Renoir, Carné, Gremillon, Duvivier, and Chenal routinely captured the prizes for best film at every festival and in every country, and their accomplishments led to general agreement that the French were the first to give maturity to the sound cinema. Here the distinguished film scholar Dudley Andrew examines the motivations and consequences of these remarkable films by looking at the cultural web in which they were made. Beyond giving a rich view of the life and worth of cinema in France, Andrew contributes substantially to our knowledge of how films are dealt with in history. Where earlier studies have treated the masterpieces of this era either in themselves or as part of the vision of their creators, and where certain recent scholars have reacted to this by dissolving the masterpieces back into the system of entertainment that made them possible, Andrew stresses the dialogue of culture and cinema. In his view, the films open questions that take us into the culture, while our understanding of the culture gives energy, direction, and consequence to our reading of the films. The book demonstrates the value of this hermeneutic approach for one set of texts and one period, but it should very much interest film theorists and film historians of all sorts.

Download or read book Landscape Natural Beauty and the Arts written by Salim Kemal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinguished group of scholars here probes the complex structure of aesthetic responses to nature in a discussion enriched with insights from art history, literary criticism, geography and philosophy. Exploring the interrelation among nature, beauty and art, they show that natural beauty is impregnated with concepts derived from the arts and from particular accounts of nature. The distinction and relation between art and nature are questioned, and the volume culminates in philosophical studies of the role of scientific understanding, engagement and appreciation in aesthetics.

Download or read book La hi rarchie des droits et libert s dans la jurisprudence de la Cour europ enne des droits de l homme written by Mustapha Afroukh and published by Emile Bruylant. This book was released on 2011 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il peut sembler surprenant d'évoquer une hiérarchie des droits de l'homme alors que ceux-ci sont habituellement présentés comme indivisibles et interdépendants du fait de l'unité de la personne humaine. Au-delà de cette analyse classique, il est plus que jamais utile de vérifier si le droit positif protège les droits de l'homme de façon équivalente. La Convention européenne des droits de l'homme et des libertés fondamentales est, à cet égard, un objet d'étude pertinent dans la mesure où elle valorise certains droits considérés comme indérogeables. Néanmoins, la frontière entre les droits indérogeables et les droits conditionnels n'est pas immuable. Pour important qu'il soit, le critère de la non-dérogeabilité n'est plus le seul à rendre compte de la place d'un droit dans la hiérarchie des droits et libertés. En effet, dès lors que cette distinction n'a de sens qu'en cas de circonstances exceptionnelles, il était tout à fait légitime que le juge détermine une échelle de valeurs valable en temps de paix. Ainsi, la valeur hiérarchique d'un droit se mesurerait également à l'importance que lui donne le juge. Cette étude ne se limite pas à identifier les droits fondamentaux dans l'ordre de valeurs que constitue la Convention et à évaluer les incidences attachées à cette qualification. Elle prétend également rendre compte des insuffisances de la hiérarchie matérielle. Au regard des conflits qui peuvent survenir entre les droits fondamentaux, la question de leur agencement ne pouvait manquer de se poser. Même s'il est difficile de rendre compte de l'appréhension de ces conflits par le juge européen, l'on doit admettre que l'arbitrage auquel il se livre n'exclut pas le recours à une certaine hiérarchisation des intérêts en présence.

Download or read book Spaces in European Cinema written by Myrto Konstantarakos and published by Intellect Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is space constructed in European Cinema? What ideological or artistic concerns does space "narrate"? This is one of the few studies of its kind to explore such questions and the only text to fully address the unique spatial power of the cinema. Coveing films of the 1920s right up to those of the 1990s; racial, social and gendered 'mappings' of the city and its private and public spaces are considered from a fresh perspective. The volume includes special contributions from scholars right across Europe who focus on previously neglected areas such as news and municipal cinema as well as the canon of key European films. Offreing a plurality of critical approaches, the text interweaves national cinema with specific genre studies and documents the vision of individual film-makers. Fully illustrated with a comprehensive filmography and bibliography, this is a significant work for use in the study of Modern Languages or film. Spaces in European cinema is the product of the Research Centre of European Cinema at Middlesex University.
