Описание: This book demonstrates how Japanese Americans have developed traditions of complex silences to survive historic moments of racial and religious oppression and how they continue to adapt these traditions today. Brett Esaki offers four case studies of Japanese American art-gardening, origami, jazz, and monuments-and examines how each artistic practice has responded to a historic moment of oppression. He finds that these artistic silences incorporate and convey obfuscated and hybridized religious ideas from Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Shinto, indigenous religions, and contemporary spirituality.
While silence is often thought of as the binary opposite and absence of sound, Esaki offers a theory of non-binary silence that articulates how multidimensional silences are formed and how they function. He argues that non-binary silences have allowed Japanese Americans to disguise, adapt, and innovate religious resources in order to negotiate racism and oppressive ideologies from both the United States and Japan. Drawing from the fields of religious studies, ethnic studies, theology, anthropology, art, music, history, and psychoanalysis, this book highlights the ways in which silence has been used to communicate the complex emotions of historical survival, religious experience, and artistic inspiration.

Описание: The first book to analyze American cinema`s long history of representing death on screen, Deathwatch considers movie sequences in which the process of dying becomes an exercise in legibility and exploration for the camera. Through readings of attractions-based cinema, narrative films, early sound cinema, and films using voice-over or images of medical technology, C. Scott Combs connects the slow or static process of dying to formal film innovation throughout the twentieth century. He looks at Thomas Edison`s Electrocuting an Elephant (1903), D. W. Griffith`s The Country Doctor (1909), John Ford`s How Green Was My Valley (1941), Billy Wilder`s Sunset Boulevard (1950), Stanley Kubrick`s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Clint Eastwood`s Million Dollar Baby (2004), among other films, to argue against the notion that film cannot capture the end of life. Instead, he shows how the act of dying in film occurs more than once and in more than one place, understanding death in cinema as constantly in flux, wedged between technological precision and embodied perception.

Описание: Focusing on six significant early film corporations in the United States and France--the Edison Company, American Mutoscope and Biograph, American Vitagraph, Georges Melies`s Star Films, Gaumont, and Pathe Freres--as well as the first producers in Southern California, Studios Before the System describes how filmmakers first envisioned the space they needed and sourced modern materials to create novel film worlds. Artificially reproducing the natural environment, film studios helped usher in the world`s Second Industrial Revolution and what Lewis Mumford would later call the "specific art of the machine." Studio architecture was always present though rarely visible to the average spectator in the twentieth century, providing the scaffolding under which culture, film aesthetics, and our relation to lived space took shape.
