NO-DO y las celadas del documento audiovisual
2010
El presente texto toma a su cargo el noticiario oficial del franquismo (NO-DO) proponiendo su análisis desde la óptica de su significación en la historia. Contra su apariencia, NO-DO surge en un momento de mayor distensión política y no de propaganda de choque. Su función ritual y el grado de información que ofrece son extremadamente limitados. De ahí precisamente su riqueza para ser analizado como manifestación del estándar franquista en un período de desmovilización, es decir, como un instrumento de consenso o consentimiento más que como uno de propaganda.
Islands of Fire. Stromboli in the documentary by Vittorio De Seta
2020
The present contribution is based on the methodological approach and on the typical objectives of cultural geography that sees the cultural work as an important source to read the territorial and landscape contexts. Through this paper we then want to critically report about the 1954 short documentary Isole di Fuoco (Islands of Fire), awarded in Cannes, that the director Vittorio De Seta mainly shot on the volcanic island of Stromboli, in Sicily, during an eruption occurred in 1954.
Spanish People on the Silver Screen: Nation and Region in the Cinema of the Second Republic
2013
The article reflects on the presence and scope of the discourses of Spanish nationalism in the mass culture through the study of Spanish cinema produced during the years of the Second Republic. From a theoretical perspective based on the latest theoretical developments on nationalism, and particularly those concerning the role of culture, the article seeks to place the cinema in the heart of the study of Spanish nation-building process in the first decades of the twentieth century. The analytical axis will be the examination of the filmic construction of the regional imaginaries as a representation of Spain. After some general considerations concerning the presence of regional and national …
L'interprete al cinema: stereotipi, pregiudizi e realtà
2020
The figure of the interpreter in history has always oscillated between visibility and invisibility. Although today there is a tendency to give it increasing recognition, some categories (cultural mediators, war and sign interpreters) still remain in a poorly recognized situation and often operate in precarious working conditions. The interpreter as a subject of study has been present in world literature for years. We will investigate what has become the interpreter as a subject in world cinema. What is the semiotic process for which a given image of the interpreter communicates a certain cliché or suggests certain characteristics that the director (or the screenwriter) wanted to highlight. …
Sexualidad, política del cuerpo y función socioeducativa del cine en Touch Me Not (Adina Pintilie, 2018)
2020
Este artículo analiza la ópera prima de la cineasta Adina Pintilie, Touch Me Not (Nu mă atinge-mă, 2018), ganadora del Oso de Oro y del premio a la Mejor Ópera Prima en el Festival de cine de Berlín. En primer lugar, contextualizamos el texto fílmico, abordando su distanciamiento de la tradición del denominado “nuevo cine rumano” y su planteamiento estético híbrido, a medio camino entre el cine observacional y experimental. En segundo lugar, analizamos las tesis que el discurso fílmico plantea en su tematización de la sexualidad y el cuerpo. Para ello, nos servimos de la teorización freudiana de la sexualidad y la reflexión foucaultiana sobre el biopoder, siguiendo el planteamiento de Teres…
Emotion Elicitation: A Comparison of Pictures and Films
2016
Abstract Pictures and film clips are widely used and accepted stimuli to elicit emotions. Based on theoretical arguments it is often assumed that the emotional effects of films exceed those of pictures, but to date this assumption has not been investigated directly. The aim of the present study was to compare pictures and films in terms of their capacity to induce emotions verified by means of explicit measures. Stimuli were (a) single pictures presented for 6 s, (b) a set of three consecutive pictures with emotionally congruent contents presented for 2 s each, (c) short film clips with a duration of 6 s. A total of 144 participants rated their emotion and arousal states following stimulus …

Tra madre e padre. Immagini di educazione familiare nel cinema degli anni Cinquanta
2017
Questo contributo propone un’analisi delle relazioni genitoriali poste in essere nelle famiglie italiane degli anni Cinquanta. Seguendo le suggestioni della recente Visual History, viene scelto il cinema come fonte cui attingere per ricostruire i rapporti tra madre e padre che, nel “decennio più lungo del secolo breve”, si avviavano ad una lenta ridefinizione. Il codice paterno, che il cinema neorealista descrive in tutta la sua problematicità, e il codice materno, che il melò consegna al pubblico nella sua ambiguità, sono descritti come due mondi separati che solo nel genere della commedia sembrano inaugurare una loro ricomposizione, se pur difficoltosa e solo abbozzata. Il modello offerto…
A qualitative study of using movies as a means of escapism between Finns and immigrants in Finland
2017
Escapist use is often considered the main use for movies in Uses and Gratification research, however there is hardly a detailed account on such use, on what the movie audience escape into. The present study, which consists of a research article and a monograph, has tried to utilize a qualitative approach to provide a better understanding of escapist movie viewing. The other aspect of this research is trying to compare such use among Finnish nationals and immigrants in Finland to see how people from different backgrounds might vary in their escapist use of movies. Although no difference between Finns and immigrants living in Finland were seen in the data, due to limitation in its scale, this…
Crowdfunding performance, market performance, and the moderating roles of product innovativeness and experts' judgment: Evidence from the movie indus…
2023
Reward-based crowdfunding (CF) has emerged as a method to solicit funds for innovative projects. Yet, little is still known about the ability of reward-based CF to act as a signal in the eyes of future consumers, and thus boost the future market performance of new products that innovators intend to commercialize using the campaign funds. In addition, scant research has clarified the boundary conditions that can magnify or weaken the efficacy of this CF signal. Given the relevance of reward-based CF for supporting innovation, understanding when the CF campaign performance works as an effective signal is of great interest, especially in business settings characterized by high product quality …
