Download or read book Filming the Middle Ages written by Bettina Bildhauer and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking account of film history, Bettina Bildhauer shows how from the earliest silent films to recent blockbusters, medieval topics and plots have played an important but overlooked role in the development of cinema. Filming the Middle Ages is the first book to define medieval films as a group and trace their history from silent film in Weimar Germany to Hollywood and then to recent European co-productions. Bildhauer provides incisive new interpretations of classics like Murnau’s Faust and Eisenstein’s Alexander Nevsky, and she rediscovers some forgotten works like Douglas Sirk’s Sign of the Pagan and Asta Nielsen’s Hamlet. As Bildhauer explains, both art house films like The Seventh Seal and The Passion of Joan of Arc and popular films like Beowulf or The Da Vinci Code cleverly use the Middle Ages to challenge modern ideas of historical progress, to find alternatives to a print-dominated culture, and even to question what makes us human. Filming the Middle Ages pays special attention to medieval animated and detective films and provactively demonstrates that the invention of cinema itself is considered a return to the Middle Ages by many film theorists and film makers. Filming the Middle Ages is ideal reading for medievalists with a stake in the contemporary and film scholars with an interest in the distant past.

Book excerpt: Stacey Brown is what youd call average-she goes to a regular school; she has a regular mom, and has had a regular life. Stacey is a straight-A student who always solves problems quickly and everything is a breeze. She isnt exceptional or weird-shes normal-and she likes it that way. Then Scarlet came. Staceys life is turned upside down. Suddenly, mysterious events begin to happen. She forms a club to solve the mysteries-a club that would explain why Staceys neighbor was poisoned and why a classmate just happened to be standing on a trapdoor that wasnt supposed to be there. She feels that now shes doing something daring-but the worst is yet to come. The mystery gets stranger as their new, fishy friend is growing distant from the two; her mom herself is behaving unnaturally, and their teacher quits. Everything is connected, she knows, and starts a journey to figure out the mystery-this is one problem that she has to solve. Stacey takes matters into her own hands-but ends up getting a little more than she bargained for-the truth. Stacey Brown is no longer Stacey Brown. Her life has been a lie.

Download or read book Towards a Typology of Poetic Forms written by Jean-Louis Aroui and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metrics is often defined as a discipline that concerns itself with the study of meters. In this volume the term is used in a broader sense that more or less coincides with the traditional notion of versification . Understood this way, metrics is an eminently complex object that displays variation over time and in space, that concerns forms of a great variety and with different statuses (meters, rhymes, stanzas, prescribed forms, syllabification rules, nursery rhymes, slogans, musical textsetting, ablaut reduplication etc.), and that as a cultural manifestation is performed in a variety of ways (sung, chanted, spoken, read) that can have direct consequences on how it is structured. This profusion of forms is thought to correspond, at the level of perception, to a limited number of cognitive mechanisms that allow us to perceive and to represent regularly iterating forms. This volume proposes a relatively coherent overall vision by distinguishing four main families of metrical forms, each clearly independent of the others and amenable to separate typologies."
