The television work of Alfred Hitchcock
No full textThe thesis uses close textual analysis to study and evaluate the television work of Alfred Hitchcock. The corpus consists of the twenty shows personally directed by Hitchcock, including his appearances before and after those shows. In response to most previous writing, which tends to compare the programmes with Hitchcock’s films (often unfairly) the thesis emphasises them as products of television. Programmes are evaluated on the basis of their perceived success as television- if they harness conditions related to television production and integrate them with narrative themes or to create meaning. Hitchcock is considered to be the major creative force in each programme.
Chapter One provides a variety of important contexts including a brief history of US television of the 1950s, key literature on Hitchcock and analyses of contemporaneous programmes not directed by Hitchcock. The textual analysis chapters (2-8) consider aesthetic or thematic programme aspects. Chapter Two studies the various roles played by Hitchcock’s appearances as series host. Chapter Three considers the impact of censorship on programmes frequently dealing with murder, violence and insanity. Chapter Four analyses Hitchcock’s implementation of varieties of voice-over narration, a common device in short dramatic forms. Chapter Five studies Hitchcock’s use of point-of-view shots, particularly in relation to their role in the delivery of the narrative twist. Chapter Six considers the key Hitchcock theme of detachment from the world. Chapter Seven looks at moments from the programmes which demonstrate how aesthetic is influenced by television production conditions.
Hitchcock created a number of television masterpieces. His achievements in television are in many ways comparable in quality and consistency to his theatrical films. Even when considered in the context of other 1950s US anthology dramas, the Hitchcock-directed programmes are superior on many levels. Elements of his film style were highly suited to television production. Many of his greatest achievements embrace and harness television production conditions in their presentation strategies to create an integration of style and meaning

No full textResumo: A partir de ensaios de Alfred Döblin sobre o romance, publicados entre 1913 e 1930, o presente artigo examina as considerações críticas e teóricas do autor sobre o romance enquanto gênero literário e obra de arte em consonância com seu tempo. Considerando em especial a proposta romanesca de Döblin na forma do romance épico, uma breve análise do romance Berlin Alexanderplatz, publicado em 1929, verificará em que medida os elementos presentes nesta obra se adequam com o posicionamento expressado por seu autor. Por fim, conclui-se que Döblin concilia suas propostas teóricas com a sua prática artística, transformando-se no crítico-romancista do romance épico, alinhado com as transformações e aspirações culturais do século XX.Palavras-chave: Döblin; romance épico; crítico-romancista.Abstract: Based on Alfred Döblin’s essays on the novel, published between 1913 and 1930, this article examines the author’s critical and theoretical considerations of the novel as a literary genre and work of art in accordance with its time. Chiefly considering Döblin’s novelistic proposal in the form of the epic novel, a brief analysis of the novel Berlin Alexanderplatz, published in 1929, will verify the extent to which the elements present in this work can correspond with the position expressed by its author. Finally, it can be concluded that Döblin conciliates his theoretical proposals with his artistic practice, which turns him into a critic-novelist of the epic novel, aligned with the transformations and cultural aspirations of the 20th century.Keywords: Döblin; epic novel; critic-novelist

O PERCURSO EXÍLICO DE ALFRED DÖBLIN DURANTE A SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL
No full textThe article focuses on Alfred Döblin's account of his escape from Europe during World War II. In his work Journey to Destiny: Report and Confession [original title: Schicksalsreise. Bericht und Bekenntnis], the German author exposes the drama of the subjects who had to leave the burning continent, reporting the minutiae of their escape. His account translates the experience of exile from the displacement, the crossing that took them from the place of departure to the destination of shelter. Döblin narrates, thus, the in-between, the geographical and temporal displacement and the subjective condition of anguish, fear, hunger, among other aspects that comprise the process that includes both the passages through different places, and the internal movement of becoming an outcast or displaced person. The distinct narrative dimensions, moreover, point to the urgency of these subjects - symbolized by the author in question - in fleeing from the context in which they were inserted, as well as show the shock caused by the dehumanization caused by the war and its consequences.O artigo enfoca o relato de Alfred Döblin sobre sua fuga da Europa durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Em sua obra Viagem ao destino: relato e confissão confissão [título original: Schicksalsreise. Bericht und Bekenntnis], o autor alemão expõe o drama dos sujeitos que tiveram que deixar o continente em chamas, relatando as minúcias da fuga. Seu relato traduze a vivência do exílio a partir do deslocamento, da travessia que os levou do lugar de partida até o destino de abrigo. Döblin narra, assim, o entremeio, o deslocamento geográfico e temporal e a condição subjetiva de angústia, medo, fome, entre outros aspectos que compreendem o processo que abrange tanto as passagens por distintos locais, quanto o movimento interno de tornar-se um desterrado ou deslocado. As distintas dimensões narrativas, para mais, apontam para a urgência desses sujeitos – simbolizados pelo autor em questão – em fugir do contexto em que estavam inseridos, assim como dão a ver o choque causado pela desumanização provocada pela guerra e suas consequências
Constructing Alfred Hitchcocks
No full textPunktem wyjścia jest konstatacja o tradycyjnych już związkach akademickich studiów nad filmem z badaniami literaturoznawczymi. Autor omawia trzy podejścia badawcze: poetykę kulturową (Greenblatt), pragmatyzm (Fish) oraz badania narratologiczne. Następnie zastanawia się nad potencjalnymi korzyściami z ich aplikacji do badań filmoznawczych, swoistym ich testem czyniąc analizę wyjątkowo rozbieżnych ocen dorobku Alfreda Hitchcocka. Przez jednych postrzegany jako sprawny rzemieślnik (przede wszystkim w USA przed zadomowieniem się tam „teorii autorskiej” – Alfred Hitchcock jako Hitch), przez innych jako niedoceniony wizjoner, eksperymentator i niekwestionowany artysta kina (przede wszystkim we Francji - Alfred Hitchcock jako Monsieur Hitchcock). Autor rekonstruuje estetyczne i kulturowe uwarunkowania przyczyniające się do tak rozbieżnych ocen, uwarunkowania silnie powiązane ze statusem kina jako sztuki. Nie optuje za jednym z opisów Alfreda Hitchcocka jako opisem „właściwym” i „prawdziwym”, przedstawia natomiast proces, w którym społecznie „konstruuje się” bardzo różnych „Alfredów Hitchcocków” na bazie założeń i kulturowych przekonań poszczególnych „wspólnot interpretacyjnych”.The author considers links between academic film studies and literature studies. Adamczak analyses three approaches to research and interpretation: cultural poetics (Greenblatt), pragmatism (Fish) and narrative studies. He then considers the usefulness of each approach to film studies, using Alfred Hitchcock's films as a case study. Hitchcock was by some considered to be an efficient craftsman (especially in the USA, where he is known as Hitch), by others he was seen as underappreciated visionary, experimenter, and an artist of the cinema (especially in France, where Alfred Hitchcock is known as Monsieur Hitchcock). Adamczak reconstructs aesthetic and cultural values held in the contexts and circumstances in which the different opinions of Hitchcock's work were developed. These in turn are strongly related to whether cinema is identified with an art. Adamczak does not present any of the interpretations of Hitchcock's work as the correct one. Rather he presents a process through which various “Alfred Hitchcocks” are constructed depending on cultural assumptions and beliefs of various “interpretative communities”
