The Bergman property for semigroups
No full textIn this article, we study the Bergman property for semigroups and the associated notions of cofinality and strong cofinality. A large part of the paper is devoted to determining when the Bergman property, and the values of the cofinality and strong cofinality, can be passed from semigroups to subsemigroups and vice versa. Numerous examples, including many important semigroups from the literature, are given throughout the paper. For example, it is shown that the semigroup of all mappings on an infinite set has the Bergman property but that its finitary power semigroup does not; the symmetric inverse semigroup on an infinite set and its finitary power semigroup have the Bergman property; the Baer-Levi semigroup does not have the Bergman property.Peer reviewe
The role of imagination in Bergman, Klein and Sartre
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel UniversityThis thesis provides an inter-disciplinary study of selected works by Ingmar Bergman. I explore how key concepts from Melanie Klein and Jean-Paul Sartre apply to the focus on characters in a state of heightened imagination; and the value placed on imagination in the construction of these films. This involves recognition of the way an active response from the viewer is encouraged.
Klein, Sartre and Bergman also attend to contextual factors that challenge any notion of subjectivity as sovereign and the power of imagination is frequently placed in a social context. All three figures develop their ideas within specialised fields drawing on the influence of others. Chapter 2 shows how Klein’s ideas relate to the influence of Freud before exploring how her work can be applied to Bergman’s films through the example of Wild Strawberries. Chapter 3 concentrates on Sartre’s early work, The Imaginary and considers how this is significant in relation to some of Sartre’s better-known philosophical ideas developed during and after the Second World War. These ideas will lead to an exploration of The Seventh Seal.
Chapters 4, 5, and 6 focus on three films from distinct parts of Bergman’s career: Summer with Monika, The Virgin Spring and Hour of the Wolf. In Chapter 4 this will be preceded by a brief over-view of three more films from the early part of Bergman’s career. These chapters explore how Kleinian and Sartrean ideas can be incorporated in close analysis, and alongside selected critical responses to the films. The analysis integrates key points from Klein and Sartre in a methodology specific to film studies. This will include analysis of cinematic elements such as camera work and lighting, and recognition of narrative structure and character developmen

Travelling to Ingmar Bergman Land : Cinematic Tourism and Memories of Modernist Landscapes
No full textThe small Swedish island of Fårö in the Baltic Sea, where Ingmar Bergman lived for part of his life and shot several important films, has over the past decade become a place of cinematic tourism based around the heritage of the director. With Bergman tourism as a case in point, this chapter reflects on the memory of the famed auteur and art cinema history in a contemporary context of film-related tourism. By focusing on a particular, famous case of art house cinema tourism, the chapter adds to new and alternative perspectives not only on Bergman as auteur but also on cinematic tourism at large, a field mainly preoccupied with more overtly commercial, typically Hollywood-related, movie culture. Bergman's modernist nature and landscape aesthetics, far beyond classical touristic landscapes, is reflected in how his characters perceive the environment.</p
