book		It looks at you : the returned gaze of cinema / Wheeler Winston Dixon Albany: State University of New York Press, 1995. Call No: 632.53 DIX Author: Dixon, Wheeler W., 1950 Place: Albany Publisher: State University of New York Press PubDate: 1995 PhysDes: xv, 238 p. : ill. ; 24 cm Series: SUNY series in postmodern culture Subject: GAZE IN FILMS; UTOPIA IN FILMS; INTERACTIVE CINEMA; WARHOL, ANDY; BRAKHAGE, STAN; GUY-BLACHE, ALICE; VINYL (US, Andy Warhol, 1965?) Summary: This book is a study of one of the most insidious and pervasive phenomena in the study and reception of cinema: the "returned gaze" from the screen in which the audience is actually surveilled by the film being projected on the screen. Rather than the usual process of watching a film, in those films which return the gaze of the viewer, the film looks at us, confronting our voyeur's embrace of the spectacle it presents. The book cites examples as diverse as Andy Warhol's Vinyl, Laurel and Hardy two-reel comedies, the films of Jean-Marie Straub, Jean-Luc Godard, Roberto Rossellini, and Wesley E. Barry's Creation of The Humanoids. It also discusses the history of the returned gaze in video, pornography, surveillance systems, and the related plastic arts Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 203-226) and index ISBN: 0791423409 (pbk.); 0791423395 LON: 10868713 More info
book		Life to those shadows / by Noe¨l Burch ; translated and edited by Ben Brewster Berkeley: University of California Press, 1990. Call No: 62 BUR Author: Burch, Noe¨l; Brewster, Ben Source: US Place: Berkeley Publisher: University of California Press PubDate: 1990 PhysDes: 317 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm Subject: THEORY; BURCH, NOEL; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SILENT PERIOD; BIOGRAPH; LUMIERE, LOUIS; DEMILLE, CECIL B.; DREYER, CARL TH.; DOCUMENTARIES; DICKSON, W. K. L.; EDISON, THOMAS ALVA; GANCE, ABEL; GORKY, MAXIM; GRIFFITH, DAVID WARK; GUY-BLACHE, ALICE; HEPWORTH, CECIL; PATHE; PORTER, EDWIN S.; VITAGRAPH; ZECCA, FERDINAND Summary: "Noel Burch's new book is a critique of the assumptions underlying 'classical' approaches to film history: the assumption that what we call the language of film was a natural, organic development, that it lay latent from the outset in the basic technology of the camera, waiting for the prescient pioneers to bring it into being; and the assumption that this language was a unversal, neutral medium, innocent of any social or historical meaning in itself. His major thesis is that, on the contrary, film language has a social and economic history, that it evolved in the way it did because of when and where it was constructed - in the capitalist and imperialist west between 1892 and 1929. The book examines the chronology of the emergence of what it defines as cinema's Institutional Mode of Representation and the socio-historical circumstances in which this took place. It examines the principles of visualisation - camera placement and movement, lighting, editing, mise-en-scene - that film-makers and audiences came to internalize over the first three decades. Special emphasis is laid on the all-important change that occurred in the imaginary placing of the spectator, from a position of exteriority to the film image, implicit in both film-form and viewing conditions during the primitive era (pre-1909), to the imaginary centering of the spectator-subject, completed only with the generalisation of lip-synch sound after 1929. It is the contention of this book that this imaginary centering of a sensorily isolated spectator is the keystone of the cinematic illustion of reality, still achieved today by the same means as it was sixty years ago." - taken from back cover Notes: Revised versions of papers written 1976-1981, some of which have appeared in English and French magazines -- Includes bibliographical references (p. 274-283) and index -- Filmography: p. 284-305.
