The Aesthetic Of Revolution In The Film And Literature Of Naguib Mahfouz, Nathaniel Greenberg Jul 2014

The Aesthetic Of Revolution In The Film And Literature Of Naguib Mahfouz, Nathaniel Greenberg

Nathaniel Greenberg

In the wake of the 1952 Revolution, Egypt’s future Nobel laureate in literature devoted himself exclusively to writing for film. The Aesthetic of Revolution in the Film and Literature of Naguib Mahfouz is the first full-length study in English to examine this critical period in the author’s career and to contextualize it within the scope of post-revolutionary Egyptian politics and culture. Before returning to literature in 1959 with his post-revolutionary masterpiece Children of the Alley, Mahfouz wrote or co-wrote some twenty odd scripts, many of them among the most successful in Egyptian history. He did so at a time when …

Powerful Veiled Visions In A Neo-Patriarchal Iranian Cinema: A Study Of Tahminemilani’S Fifth Reaction (2003), Esmaeil Zeiny

Esmaeil Zeiny

Films about ‘women’s issues’ and their importance in Iran have not been paid in-depth attention in scholarly works. These films are labeled as political as they challenge the institutions and values of patriarchy in Iranian society. In recent years, Iranian women filmmakers have produced an impressive body of work and they have won a number of international awards. These filmmakers carved a niche despite all the restrictions imposed by patriarchal strictures. However, these filmmakers are still facing difficulties in making their films as the political fortunes of the conservatives and reformers continue to ebb and flow. TahmineMilani is one of …

Shaifali rachna Puri

   Concern from parents, professionals, and the populace at large about the impact of the Mass Media on children and adolescents has grown steadily over recent years. Recent events, most prominently the school murders and a continuous increase in the crimes by the adolescents have drawn attention to the volatile confluence of culture and psychopathology. It has become imperative for clinicians to understand the role of media exposure on children in order to diagnose and treat behavioral problems as well as to prevent further tragedies and disorders in the personality of the adolescents.

Between The Sun And Japan: An Inter-National Ethics Of Cinema / 『太陽』と日本のあいだ 映画におけるインターナショナルな倫理, Aaron Gerow

Aaron Gerow

This article considers how Alexandr Sokurov’s film The Sun (Solntse, 2005) approaches the problem of representing the nation by foregrounding the issue of the ethics of representing a foreign country—in this case, the Shōwa emperor Hirohito. This becomes a cinematic problem because of the way the Japanese emperor, in films ranging from The Last Samurai to The Emperor, the Empress, and the Sino-Japanese War, has often been treated as an object or subject of the gaze. Focusing on the mismatched gazes in the film, this article finds the spectator floating between the two gazes or between the seer …
