Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Queering the crisis–recovery nexus: Personhood and societal transformation after economic collapse in Iceland
No full textThis chapter examines the nexus between crisis and recovery by exploring the ambiguity communities experience in transitioning from states of collective crisis to recovery. The chapter is situated in Iceland following the country’s 2008 economic crisis as part of the global financial crisis. It argues that, while crisis is a popular topic to explore in anthropology today, a deeper focus on its connection with recovery is required. The chapter uses affect and queer theory to explore this nexus through an ethnography among queer men in Iceland who are involved in individual and collective reform projects after the economic collapse. The chapter pairs timelining (a form of graphic elicitation) with ethnography to understand how these projects enable people to build pathways toward recovery. A new ‘personal’ ethics and the recasting of the nation’s ‘moral framework’ are explored, particularly through efforts to push for the country’s draft constitution that was written after the crisis to be legislated
