[Bearbeiten] Notes on the auteur theory
Auteur is French for author. Since the 1950s, when auteur theory was first brought forward by the critics of the influential French film magazine Cahiers du cinéma, the term auteur has acquired the meaning of directors whose personal vision on a movie is strongly felt.
However, it can easily be argued that any "writer director" - as in one who both writes and directs a film - could be labeled an auteur, since both writing and directing a film, is likely produce a film with the personal imprint of the director.
Auteur may or may not refer to control over the final version of the film. See the entry director's cut for more on this subject.
Note: the search string "writer director" turns up 350 results in Wikipedia. [Aug 2005]
In recent years, the auteur theory has been contrasted with genre theory, arguing that the auteur theory is a manifestation of the cult of personality theory of the great man theory which tend to exclude the work of directors such as David Cronenberg, Radley Metzger or Roger Corman to name but a few, who produce highly personal movies but are mainly active in what has been labeled genre films, the cinematic equivalent of escapist fiction. This exclusion could hardly have been the original intention of the Cahiers writers, as they were the first to re-appraise - against established film critical currents - the works of "genre directors" such as John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock and Roger Corman.
As quoted from Greencine.com:
[the Cahiers writers] embraced directors - both French and American - whose personal signature could be read in their films. The French directors the Cahiers critics endorsed included Jean Vigo, Jean Renoir, Robert Bresson and Marcel Ophüls; while the Americans on their list of favorites included John Ford, Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, Nicholas Ray and Orson Welles, indisputed masters, all. There were also a few surprising, even head-scratching favorites, including Jerry Lewis (where the whole "France loves Jerry Lewis" stereotype began) and Roger Corman. (Greencine.com, early 2000s)

[Bearbeiten] Notes on mechanical reproducibility of artworks with regard to Baudelaire and Benjamin
French text:
Il y a dans le monde, et même dans le monde des artistes, des gens qui vont au musée du Louvre, passent rapidement, et sans leur accorder un regard, devant une foule de tableaux très intéressants, quoique de second ordre, et se plantent rêveurs devant un Titien ou un Raphaël, un de ceux que la gravure a le plus popularisés; puis sortent satisfaits, plus d'un se disant: "Je connais mon musée."English translation:
“The world—and even the world of artists—is full of people who can go to the Louvre, walk rapidly, without so much as a glance, past rows of very interesting, though secondary, pictures, to come to a rapturous halt in front of a Titian or Raphael—one of those that would have been most popularized by the engraver’s art; then they will go home happy, not a few saying to themselves, ‘I know my Museum.‘” -- Charles Baudelaire
In this excerpt, quoted from the Charles Baudelaire's 1863 The Painter of Modern Life, an essay on Constantin Guys, Charles Baudelaire comments on the fact that works of art have lost their aura (a term I borrow here from Walter Benjamin) because of the technique of engraving. For the first time in history, engraving allowed images of works of art to be mass-popularized in posters and postcards. This essay foreshadows Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
It is precisely this mass-reproducibility of works of art, in two-dimensional (postcards of the Mona Lisa) as well as three-dimensional forms (plastic statues of the Venus de Milo), which has given birth to the concept of kitsch.

[Bearbeiten] Colin Henry Wilson
Colin Henry Wilson (born June 26, 1931) is a British writer. The Misfits: A Study of Sexual Outsiders (1988) -- Colin Henry Wilson
Crime and sexual perversion Wilson seeks to establish a link between crime and perversion.
On Sade In his excellent Misfits, Colin Wilson states that Marquis de Sade's philosophy was one of extreme selfishness, mentioning Sade's denial of the existence of benevolence and altruism. Wilson's portrait of Sade is the first well-balanced I encountered, neither villifying (as it was customary during the 19th century) nor exalting him as it was done in the 20th century (see De Beauvoir and Apollinaire).

Synopsis The history of human civilization is the history of imagination and the nature of fiction (tale, drama novel, sexual imagination, sex crimes, ...)
[Bearbeiten] Culture
Culture is an ambiguous term usually signifying high culture. It is my thesis that culture arises from and is made of elements of high culture and low culture. In this sense, culture equals mainstream or popular culture.
- This point you made is interesting - I'd agree in that we have to see both, high and low, yet the conclusion - might need a discussion - you might have fun with my articles at de:Literatur and de:Kult (Status). --Olaf Simons 06:21, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

When Pierre Bourdieu contends that taste always "trickles down" from the ruling classes he forgets about street fashion, which "trickles up". --Jahsonic 19:42, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
[Bearbeiten] High Renaissance
The High Renaissance (1480s - 1520s) is a rather subjective art term denoting the culmination of the art of the Early Renaissance. Generally counted among High Renaissance artists are Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raphael Sanzio and Leonardo da Vinci.
Also active at this time were Giorgione, Titian and Giovanni Bellini.
By about the 1520s, High Renaissance art gives way to a style known as Mannerism.

[Bearbeiten] Histories (history of the novel)
Early 18th century novels and romances were still not considered part the world of learning, hence, not of part of literature; they were market goods. If you opened the term catalogues it was mostly situated in the—predominantly political—field of "histories" with some romances like Cervantes Don Quixote translated into verse becoming poetical. The integration of prose fiction into the market of histories appeared under the following scheme:
| 3.1 Heroical Romances: Fénelon's Telemach (1699) |
||||
| 1 Sold as romantic inventions, read as true histories of public affairs: Manley's New Atalantis (1709) |
2 Sold as romantic inventions, read as true histories of public affairs: Menantes' Satyrischer Roman (1706) |
3.2 Classics of the novel from the Arabian Nights to Madame de La Fayette's Princesse de Cleves (1678) |
4 Sold as true private history, risking to be read as romantic invention: Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719) |
5 Sold as true public history, risking to be read as romantic invention: La Guerre d'Espagne (1707) |
| 3.3 Satirical Romances: Cervantes' Don Quixote (1605) |
From Olaf Simons, Marteaus Europa (Amsterdam, 2001), p.194. |
|||
The centre of the market was held by fictions which claimed to be fictions and which were read as such. They comprised a high production of romances and, at the bottom end, an opposing production of satirical romances. In the centre, the novel had grown, with stories that were neither heroic nor predominantly satirical, yet mostly realistic, short and stimulating with their examples of human actions to be discussed.
The central production had two wings: On the left hand, one had books which claimed to be romances, but which threatened to be anything but fictitious. Delarivier Manley wrote the most famous of them, her New Atalantis, full of stories the author claimed to have invented. The censors were helpless: Manley had hawked stories discrediting the ruling Whigs, yet should they ask the Whigs to prove that all these stories actually happened on British soil rather than on the fairy tale island Atalantis? This was what they had to do if they wanted to sue the author. Delarivier Manley escaped the interrogations unscathed and continued her libellous work with three more volumes of the same ilk. Private stories appeared on the same market, creating a different genre of personal love and public battles over lost reputations.
On the other hand one had a market of titles which claimed to be strictly non-fictional—Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe became the most important of them. The genre-identification: "Sold as true private history, risking to be read as romantic invention" opened the preface:
IF ever the Story of any Man's Adventures in the World were worth making Publick, and were acceptable when Publish'd, the Editor of this Account thinks this will be so.
The Wonders of this Man's Life exceed all that (he thinks) is to be found extant; the Life of one Man being scarce capable of a greater Variety.
The Story is told with Modesty, with Seriousness, and with a religious Application of Events to the Uses to which wise Men always apply them (viz.) to the Instruction of others by this Example, and to justify and honor the Wisdom of Providence in all the Variety of Circumstances, let them happen how they will.
The Editor believes the thing to be a just History of Fact; neither is there any Appearance of Fiction in it: And however thinks, because all such things are dispatch'd, that the Improvement of it, as well as the Diversion, as to the Instruction of the Reader, will be the same; and as such he thinks, without farther Compliment to the World, he does them a great Service in the Publication.
A production of histories of similar verisimilitude dove into the overtly political. Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras (1644-1712) became the most important author in this field with his first version of d'Artagnan's story, told again more than a century later by Alexandre Dumas the elder. Witty, and a distant precursor of Ian Fleming's fictional James Bond, is another book allegedly by his hand: La Guerre d'Espagne (1707) the story of a disillusioned French spy, who gave insight into French politics—and into his own love affairs, with little intrigues he managed wherever he had to do his jobs. Fact and fiction were mixed in all these titles, to the point that one could no longer tell where the author had invented and where he had simply betrayed secrets.
