John Tallmadge
The Cincinnati Arch: Learning from Nature in the City

2004 y.
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
Description: New to the city, Tallmadge saw only its concrete, glass, smog, and debris. Soon his interest, stirred by the wonder of his children at their new surroundings, focused Tallmadge to the `buzzing, flapping, scurrying, chewing, photosynthesizing life forms` around him. More deeply, Tallmadge began to learn from, and not just about, the city. Nature`s persistence - within him and wherever he looked - wore away at old notions of wilderness that made no allowances for human culture. The `arch` of the book`s title is richly resonant: as the name of a geologic formation molding the urban landscape Tallmadge comes to love, as an archetypal building form, and, in its parabolic shape, as a metaphor for life`s journey. Filled with luminous lessons of mindfulness, attentiveness, and other spiritual practices, this is a hopeful guide to finding nature and balance in unlikely places. [detailed...]

Sean Cubitt
The Cinema Effect

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIt has been said that all cinema is a special effect. In this highly original examination of time in film Sean Cubitt tries to get at the root of the uncanny effect produced by images and sounds that don`t quite align with reality. What is it that cinema does? Cubitt proposes a history of images in motion from a digital perspective, for a digital audience. From the viewpoint of art history, an image is discrete, still. How can a moving image--constructed from countless constituent images--even be considered an image? And where in time is an image in motion located? Cubitt traces the complementary histories of two forms of the image/motion relationship--the stillness of the image combined with the motion of the body (exemplified by what Cubitt calls the `protocinema of railway travel`) and the movement of the image combined with the stillness of the body (exemplified by melodrama and the magic lantern). He argues that the magic of cinema arises from the… [detailed...]

Alberto Elena
The Cinema of Abbas Kiarostami

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Abbas Kiarostami`s films-- Close-Up, Life and Nothing More, Through the Olive Trees, Taste of Cherry (winner of the 1997 Palme d`Or at Cannes), and Ten-- have taken their place alongside the masterworks of world cinema. Yet Kiarostami, the most influential filmmaker of post-revolutionary Iran, has produced a body of work that is as rooted in contemporary Iran as it is universal in appeal. Respected cinema historian Alberto Elena has used Iranian sources wherever possible and sought to frame Kiarostami`s oeuvre within the context of the rich artistic and intellectual Persian tradition that has nourished the director. He examines his blending of fiction and reality, and his recurring themes of death, meaning in life, isolation, solidarity and the lives of women. Kiarostami`s career, from his early days as an illustrator and graphic designer to his current master-status, is also explored. [detailed...]

The Cinematic Imagination: Indian Popular Films As Social History

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIndia produces more films than any other country in the world, and these works are avidly consumed by non-Western cultures in Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and by the Indian communities in Australia, Britain, the Caribbean Islands, and North America. Jyotika Virdi focuses on how this dominant medium configures the `nation` in post-Independence Hindi cinema. She scrutinizes approximately thirty films that have appeared since 1950 and demonstrates how concepts of the nation form the center of this cinema`s moral universe. As a kind of storytelling, Indian cinema provides a fascinating account of social history and cultural politics, with the family deployed as a symbol of the nation. Virdi demonstrates how the portrayal of the nation as a mythical community in Hindi films collapses under the weight of its own contradictions-irreconcilable differences that encompass gender, sexuality, family, class, and religious communities. Through these film narratives,… [detailed...]
