Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-260) and indexes Introduction: film violence as figurality -- - Screen violence: five fallacies. Empiricism ; Aristotelianism ; Aestheticism ; Mythologicism ; Mimeticism -- - Filming death. The transfigured image -- - Narrating violence, or, allegories of dying -- - Male subjectivities at the margins. Mean streets: death and disfiguration in Hawks's Scarface -- - Kubrick's The killing and the emplotment of death -- - Blood of a poet: Peckinpah's The wild bunch -- - As I lay dying: violence and subjectivity in Tarantino's Reservoir dogs -- - One-dimensional men: Fincher's Fight club and the end of masculinity In many senses, viewers have cut their teeth on the violence in American cinema: from Anthony Perkins slashing Janet Leigh in the most infamous of shower scenes; to the 1970s masterpieces of Martin Scorsese, Sam Peckinpah and Francis Ford Coppola; to our present-day undertakings in imagining global annihilations through terrorism, war, and alien grudges. Transfigurations brings our cultural obsession with film violence into a renewed dialogue with contemporary theory. Grønstad argues that the use of violence in Hollywood films should be understood semiotically rather than viewed realistically; Tranfigurations thus alters both our methodology of reading violence in films and the meanings we assign to them, depicting violence not as a self-contained incident, but as a convoluted network of our own cultural ideologies and beliefs |

Digital master created according to Benchmark for Faithful Digital Reproductions of Monographs and Serials, Version 1. Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-260) and indexes Introduction: film violence as figurality -- - Screen violence: five fallacies. Empiricism ; Aristotelianism ; Aestheticism ; Mythologicism ; Mimeticism -- - Filming death. The transfigured image -- - Narrating violence, or, allegories of dying -- - Male subjectivities at the margins.

Transfigurations brings our cultural obsession with film violence into a renewed dialogue with contemporary theory. Grønstad argues that the use of violence in Hollywood films should be understood semiotically rather than viewed realistically; Tranfigurations thus alters both our methodology of reading violence in films and the meanings we assign to them, depicting violence not as a self-contained incident, but as a convoluted network of our own cultural ideologies and beliefs PERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / Reference bisacsh The arts bicssc Film, TV and radio bicssc Films, cinema bicssc Film theory and criticism bicssc Society and social sciences bicssc Society and culture: general bicssc PERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / General bisacsh Death fast Masculinity fast Motion pictures fast Motion pictures, American fast Violence fast Gewalt <Motiv> swd Tod <Motiv> swd Männlichkeit <Motiv> swd Film swd Film Violence in motion pictures Death in motion pictures Masculinity in motion pictures Motion pictures, American Mann Motiv (DE-588)4123709-2 gnd rswk-swf Gewalt Motiv (DE-588)4113748-6 gnd rswk-swf Film (DE-588)4017102-4 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Los Angeles- Hollywood (DE-588)4099817-4 gnd rswk-swf Los Angeles- Hollywood (DE-588)4099817-4 g Film (DE-588)4017102-4 s Gewalt Motiv (DE-588)4113748-6 s Mann Motiv (DE-588)4123709-2 s 1\p DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-90-8964-010-9 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=283643 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
