Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Mexican public health history through film: the riches of a film archive, 1945–1970(2019-11-25)In Mexico, the use of film for educational campaigns on hygiene and public health topics has a long history, beginning with the films made by the Ministry of Health (Secretaría de Salud) under the presidency of Porfirio Díaz in the late nineteenth century. Subsequently, in the early twentieth century, American films were used at two important moments in the history of Mexican public health. Due to the predominance of American films, Mexican public health educational films have remained largely unknown.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:Issue 2Heft:2212 160 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Liberated on film: images and narratives of camp liberation in historical footage and feature filmsSince SS camp personnel obeyed the strict prohibition against photography in Nazi annihilation, concentration, and work camps, the footage that Allied cameramen shot in such camps during and shortly after their liberation filled this void in visual documentation. Thus, what we imagine went on in Nazi camps while in operation has been shaped by pictures that document their very last stages. So, though the arrival of Allied soldiers was a turning point for survivors, the film that Allied cameramen shot in those days tells us more about the effects of Nazi terror than about survivors’ liberation from it.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:Issue 2Heft:2294 378 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Trapped in amber: the new materialities of memory(2019-11-25)Cinema defies time through its 'uncanny ontology': moving images always document what is not yet dead but also not quite alive, simulacra of life at its most vivid. This unresolvable tension between rewind and replay, between presence and absence, between life preserved and the kingdom of shadows, has profoundly altered our understanding of what history is, just as the same tension between original and copy, between reconstruction and replica, dominates our thinking today about the status of art and historical artifacts, in our post-auratic era that nonetheless craves authenticity and “keeping things real.”Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:Issue 2Heft:2260 613 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Reel life: Memory and Gender in Soviet Estonian home movies and amateur films : a case study of the Estonian TV Series 8 MM LIFE (2014–2015)(2019-11-25)There is a global boom in personal accounts, autobiographies, and memoirs telling the stories of real individuals and their experiences. It is therefore unsurprising that autobiographies and other forms of personal documents would become an important source for rethinking history in former Soviet and socialist states as well. The autobiographical accounts were used to rethink the national past and oppose official Soviet historiography. Recently, documentary films and TV series make use of footage from people’s home archives, and thus claim to be truthful depictions of the past.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:Issue 2Heft:Issue 2208 208 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Film as instrument of social enquiry: the British documentary film movement of the 1930s(2019-11-25)The 1930s saw the emergence of the British documentary as a distinct mode of film practice that strove for a cinema that, in opposition to the entertainment-focused mainstream, was socially purposeful and aesthetically innovative. The economic situation of interwar Britain was a major factor in the genesis of the movement, as was the growing awareness of the potential of film as a medium of mass communication and the progressive attitudes in both the public and private sectors toward commissioning films for publicity purposes.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:Issue 2Heft:2294 213 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Analyzing the familiar: approaches to home movies from East Germany(2021-01-28)Analyzing East German home movies presents a challenge for researchers, since 8 mm and Super 8 reels reveal a harmonious image of life under dictatorship. This article proposes a combination of film analysis, the analysis of written sources, and film interviews as a methodological approach to studying films in the absence of contextual information. This approach is especially effective as a way of distancing oneself from preconceptions about vernacular filmmaking under socialism.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:3267 267 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Migrations of media aesthetics: anachronisms and reflexivity in ILUMINADOS POR EL FUEGO(2021-01-28)This essay explores how representations of war in news and documentary media have migrated into the war film genre, transcending the bounds of historical chronology and allowing the aesthetics of historical media to be transposed into filmic representations of contemporary conflicts.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:3282 185 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Audio history of film: introduction(2018-11-21); ; The relationship between film and history has assumed many and varied forms over the course of time. During the twentieth century, film increasingly became a medium through which contemporary political and historical events were discussed and interpreted. Cinematic narration of history influenced twentieth-century film production in myriad ways and constantly challenged “classical” historiography, especially its function of disseminating historical knowledge.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelHeft:New Approaches245 232 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, The Authenticity feeling: language and dialect in the historical film(2018-11-21)The pursuit of authenticity is film’s dominant mode of historical representation. For the overwhelming majority of historical film makers and audiences, authenticity signifies a realistic historical experience, an effective suspension of temporal-spatial disbelief. Authenticity, as the engine of mainstream historical filmmaking, has three chief functions: as an aesthetic strategy, a reception discourse and a marketing discourse.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelHeft:1302 231 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Kracauer's theory of history and film(2018-11-23)Reading Siegfried Kracauer’s letters and texts in which he discusses his own efforts it becomes clear that he has a consistent interest in philosophy and also considers himself a philosopher. Therefore, in the following, I would like to try to discuss Kracauer, using his own concepts.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelHeft:1203 611
