Littérature et film noirs dans Et on tuera tous les affreux (1948) de Vernon Sullivan, l’alter negro de Boris Vian, ou une mise en question de la be…
2018
espanolEn este articulo proponemos el estudio de un curioso proceso de combinacion generica, de genero negro y ciencia ficcion distopica, y un fenomeno intermediatico de literatura y cine a traves del analisis de los pastiches de Boris Vian bajo el seudonimo de Vernon Sullivan. Nos centramos, en concreto, en un subgenero Hollywoodiense de critica a la serialidad y la perfeccion artificial. Para ello exponemos un acercamiento original a la novela Et on tuera tous les affreux (1948) en relacion con tres films norteamericanos catalogados como neonoir, –dos de ellos adaptaciones de novelas de Ellroy– con el objeto de estudiar la representacion de la femme fatale en un contexto hipermasculinizad…
La construcción de las identidades racializadas en el cine musical hollywoodense
2020
espanolEste articulo pretende realizar una aproximacion critica a la representacion cinematografica de la afamada cantante de jazz Billie Holiday en el cortometraje musical Symphony in Black (Fred Waller, 1935) y en la pelicula New Orleans (Arthur Lubin, 1947).

Five Kurosawas and a (de)construction of theOrient
2019
In 1959, UNESCO published a catalogue of Eastern films suitable for Western audiences, titled ‘Orient. A Survey of Films Produced in Countries of Arab and Asian Culture’. The aim of the catalogue was to familiarise Western audiences with Eastern cultures through cinema. The catalogue lists seven general characteristics of Eastern cinema to distinguish it from its Western counterpart and to provide ready-made interpretations of the essential characteristics of the Eastern world. Of the 139 feature films listed in the catalogue, five were directed by Kurosawa Akira – the biggest number of films by a single director. This article provides an analysis of the five Kurosawa films within the frame…
La dictadura del cuerpo: el cuerpo como objeto de propaganda
2014
ABSTRACT Body of athletes has been settled as a modern icon in the same movement that has settled the sport man into hero. But we can find the strategies to transform it into a deity or a product of marketing in such an old film as Olympia (1938), audiovisual discourse about Olympic Games of Berlin. It is also considered as one of the main examples of propaganda in modern cinema. We suggest a comparative analysis that confronts Olympia with First (2012), last official olimpic film distributed, where we can discover the propagandistic possibilities and the consequences of this visual strategies. Analysis proposes to study if the common places and strategies are not only form coincidences bet…
Cinema as Social Knowledge
2019
François Ribac discusses how the Beatles—within the field of popular music—gave substance to a technical and social organization that the cinema made culturally possible. Cinema, being just as much a technique as a way of organizing and hearing the world, introduced the Beatles and their sound engineers simultaneously to a nonnaturalistic use of sound and to rock “n” roll which made it possible for them to invent “a cinema for the ears.” Ribac describes how the methods and the temporality of the cinema as well as its conventions, division of labor, and the concept of the studio inspired the envisioning of a musical form that was disconnected from traditional music-making of the time.
Protective Effects of Fruits and Vegetables against In Vivo Clastogenicity of Cyclophosphamide or Benzo[a]pyrene in Mice
1998
Seven fruits and 10 vegetables commonly consumed in Germany were investigated for their anticlastogenic potencies against cyclophosphamide (CP) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay. We detected protective effects in 76.5% and 70.6% of the samples, respectively, and more or less distinct quantitative differences between the various plant materials and the two clastogens investigated. With respect to CP, moderate activities were exerted by sweet cherries, strawberries, cucumber, radish and tomatoes, average activities by bananas, oranges, peaches, asparagus and red beets and strong activities by yellow red peppers and especially spinach. Apples (cultiva…
The impact of theatrical experiences on young adults in Spain
2018
This study examines how young adults experience theatre and how this activity impacts their personal development. A total of 305 subjects, between 14 and 29 years old, completed the 'Theatre and me' (T&Y) battery of questions. Correlation and variance analysis were conducted considering age and gender. Older subjects reported that participating in drama activities has a greater impact on their lives, helps them to have a greater proclivity to take risks and to be more open-minded. With respect to gender, girls score higher than boys in 'Tolerance to RiskTaking and Commitment', 'Identity and Consciousness', Expression of Feeling' and 'Escape'

El matrimonio entre el cine y la filosofía: Apuntes sobre la metafilosofía de Stanley Cavell
2019
En este trabajo expondremos brevemente algunas características fundamentales de la concepción de la filosofía defendida por Stanley Cavell, con especial atención a su reivindicación del cine como agente filosófico de pleno derecho. Nuestra intención es presentar las claves del planteamiento metafilosófico de Cavell, con el objetivo de desarrollar posteriormente su concepción del arte cinematográfico como un tipo de praxis filosófica particular, fundada en la tesis de que el cine puede concebirse como un “medio de pensamiento” adecuado para afrontar sendos problemas filosóficos.
Education on Sexual Diversity through Cinema

We provide visibility mechanisms to sexual minorities in personal and social order, and propose an approach to the subject, especially in training teachers. From aesthetic reflection we must foster a new critical look at Media Education.
