Résumé:
Au milieu du siècle dernier, alors que l’image en mouvement s’est pleinement constituée comme forme culturelle et intellectuelle, la phénoménologie et l’esthétique du cinéma partagent le projet délicat d’une mise en suspens partielle du langage verbal. L’union des actes de vision et de pensée anime alors simultanément les écrits de Maurice Merleau-Ponty et de Jean Epstein, autour desquels de nouvelles pistes de réflexion se sont ouvertes ces dernières années. Chez le philosophe, cette nouvelle constitution du savoir se manifeste par le retour à l’attitude corporelle. Pour le cinéaste, c’est la rencontre avec le regard de la machine cinématographique qui dévoile une terra incognita face à la connaissance rationnelle. Cet ouvrage propose une rencontre inédite entre deux pensées incontournables de l’image et une exploration des frontières plus que jamais complexes entre la philosophie et l’esthétique du cinéma.

Dans cette histoire des sciences et des technologies, Thomas Alva Edison (1847 – 1931) occupe une place centrale – et méritée. Avec son équipe, il a mis au point ou perfectionné un grand nombre d’inventions décisives, qui ont changé le monde – et notre perception du monde : l’enregistrement du son avec le phonographe (1877), l’ampoule électrique durable (1880), la production et la distribution d’éle tricité (1880), le cinéma avec le kinétographe (une caméra, 1891), le kinétoscope (une visionneuse individuelle, 1891), la Black Maria (un studio de cinéma, 1893) et le kinétophone (qui synchronise un kinétoscope et un phonographe, 1895), etc. Il a mis sur pied l’un des premiers laboratoires de recherche industriels, d’abord à Menlo Park, N. J. (1876 – 1886), puis à West Orange, N. J. (1887 – 1931), avec plusieurs associés et un grand nombre de chercheurs salariés, qui travaillaient en parallèle sur des dizaines de projets et déposaient annuellement des centaines de brevets.

Résumé:
Dark Places" explores the dim, claustrophobic interiors of haunted houses in horror movies, as well as the cinema auditorium itself, and their relation to the 'dark places' of the human pysche. Barry Curtis looks at the long, blood-soaked history of horror films: their fascination with re-animating the dead; the special effects, both sophisticated and crude, which have been contrived in order to bring spirits into the realm of the living; the structures, projections and architecture of horror movie sets; and the complex metaphorical life of 'ghosts' as harbingers of loss, amnesia, injustice and vengeance. A wide range of films is also discussed in which the 'haunted house' is reworked in new scenarios - the road, the apartment, the motel, the spaceship - and visually linked to the troubling archetypes of Gothic fictions. Barry Curtis is Emeritus Professor of Visual Culture at Middlesex University, Fellow of the London Consortium, and Visiting Tutor at the Royal College of Art. He has written widely on film, architecture, art and visual culture for magazines, newspapers and journals.

Whether tall office buildings, high-rise apartments, or lofty hotels, skyscrapers have been stars in American cinema since the silent era. Cinema’s tall buildings have been variously represented as unbridled aspiration, dens of iniquity and eroticism, beacons of democracy, and well-oiled corporate machines. Considering their intriguing diversity, Merrill Schleier establishes and explains the impact of actual skyscrapers on America’s ideologies about work, leisure, romance, sexual identity, and politics as seen in Hollywood movies.

In 1983 visionary director John Cassavetes asked journalist Michael Ventura to write a unique film study - an on-set diary of the making of his film "Love Streams". Cassavetes laid out his expectations. He wanted 'a daring book, a tough book'. In Ventura's words, 'All I had to do for 'daring' and 'tough' was transcribe this man's audacity day by day.' "Cassavetes Directs" describes the creation of "Love Streams" shot by shot, crisis by crisis. During production, the director learned that he was seriously ill, that this film might, as it tragically turned out, be his last. Starring alongside actress and wife Gena Rowlands, Cassavetes shot in sequence, reconceiving and revising his film almost nightly, in order that "Love Streams" could stand as his final statement. Both an intimate portrait of the man and an insight into his unique filmmaking philosophy, "Cassavetes Directs" documents a heroic moment in the life of a great !

Résumé:
The experience of architectural spaces is formed by the way they are staged. The Drama of Space examines the composition and articulation of architectural spaces in terms of spatial dramaturgy, as a repertoire of means and strategies for shaping spatial experience. This fundamental approach to architectural design is presented in four parts: Archetypal principles of spatial composition are traced from the study of three assembly buildings of the early modern period in Venice. Theatre, film, music, and theory provide background knowledge on dramaturgy. Detailed analyses of 18 international case studies offer new perspectives on contemporary architecture. The book ends with a systematic presentation of the dramaturgy of space, its parameters and tools, in architectural design.
