Powrót do ruin. O atrakcyjności niemieckiego powojnia by Jakub Gortat

“…One of the most important dates in Germany’s postwar history was May 6, 1955, when the Federal Republic joined the North Atlantic Alliance, an event which perfectly reflected the dynamics of geopolitical changes that had taken place in the ten years since the end of World War II.

Hollywood sur la Lune : les « Scientifilms », les Pulps et l’imaginaire science-fictionnel by Jay P. Telotte

“…This essay examines how the movies, the movie industry, and a movie consciousness filtered into the pulp magazines during sf’s formative, pre-World War II era. It measures that early film/literature relationship by surveying the primary pulp magazines associated with the beginnings of sf publishing in the United States and framing them in the context that Francesco Casetti applies to early cinema when he suggests that the movies, as a pre-eminent modernist form, provided a kind of “script for reading the modern experience,” one that “not only proposed a reading of that experience, but at times imposed a pattern for its expression and communication” (5). …”

In doing so, this article will show how all three attempted to produce accounts of, or to reflect upon, what had taken place in a way that would not allow for any forms of aestheticization and that would show extreme caution when engaging with readers’ sensitivities. …”

Une histoire oubliée : la genèse française du terme « film noir » dans les années 1930 et ses implications transnationales by Thomas Pillard

“…In the 1990s, North American and British scholars started to re-evaluate film noir and show that this genre was not exclusive to American cinema: in fact, Charles O’Brien revealed that the label “film noir” had first been used in France before the war to describe a group of French films that are more or less the same ones we now identify as “poetic realism”; he then went on to refer to a new tendency in post-World-War-II Hollywood cinema. However, his work has, for the most part, gone unrecognized in France, where film noir is still seen as purely American. …”
