Análisis de la pélicula El árbol de la vida, de Terrence Malick (2011)
No full textEl árbol de la vida es el quinto largometraje del director estadounidense Terrence Malick, estrenada en Cannes 2011. En este trabajo se analiza el carácter trascendente del film y su relación con el autor francés Robert Bresson, con el que comparte toda una serie de inquietudes y estilo. Además, se revisa la película desde una óptica cristiana, donde Malick nos muestra el origen del universo y el más allá, a la par que las relaciones interfamiliares de una familia tejana en los años 50. Asimismo, el film es una mirada íntima y catártica a la infancia y origen del propio director. De vocación poética, la película se sirve de una serie de recursos formales para conseguir su singular estética, en los que cabría destacar: la iluminación de Emmanuel Lubezki, el diseño de producción de Jack Fisk y el simbólico uso de la música unido a un preciso montaje. Palabras clave: Terrence Malick, El árbol de la vida, película, trascendente, poética.AbstractThe Tree of Life is the fifth feature film by the American director Terrence Malick, which was premiered at Cannes 2011. This work analyzes the transcendent nature of the film and the relationship between Malick and the French author Robert Bresson, with whom he shares a whole series of concerns and style. In addition, the film is reviewed from a Christian perspective, where Malick shows us the origin of the universe and the afterlife, as well as the inter-family relationships of a Texas family in the 1950s. Likewise, the film is an intimate and cathartic look to the childhood and origin of the director himself. With a poetic vocation, the film uses a series of formal resources to achieve its singular aesthetic, in which it is worth highlighting: the lighting by Emmanuel Lubezki, the production design by Jack Fisk and the symbolic use of music combined with a precise montage.Keywords: Terrence Malick, The tree of life, film, transcendent, poetic.<br /

"Ut pictura movens poesis": Análisis transversal de la obra de Bill Viola y Terrence Malick
No full textThe work of the video artist Bill Viola and the film director Terrence Malick has not been interrelated thus far. But this research will prove that the significant parallelisms about the poetic treatment of the image, the conceptual basis and the philosophical background are not the result of a mere coincidence. Worries about topics conforming both author?s worlds of fantasy, as well as audiovisual sources, are in both cases entirely similar

‘What’s This War in the Heart of Nature?’ Fire, Water, Earth and Air in Terrence Malick’s The Thin Red Line
No full textNature plays a crucial role in the existential conflict that Malick presents in his 1998 war film, The Thin Red Line. Man exists not only in perpetual conflict with himself but must also vie with nature. Moreover, nature too must compete against itself as well as against man. However, unlike previous analytical work on this film, this essay shows how Malick inextricably associates his major characters with one of the four natural elements in his film: Witt with water, Welsh with stone, Tall with fire, and Bell with air. As the author contends, these four associations allow Malick to underscore various aspects of these four characters’ personal struggles with others, with nature, with the demands of war, and within themselves
Mémoires de l’objet – patrimoine et post-esthétique du trauma
No full textCet article traite de la mémoire de l’esclavage et de la place accordée à ses patrimoines dans les musées français. Il étudie la structuration du travail de mémoire via la sécrétion de quatre types de discours : juridique, politique, scientifique et social. Ces énoncés infléchissent les stratégies de valorisation des collections muséales, dont les variantes sont observées principalement à travers les cas de Nantes et de Bordeaux. L’identification des limites de ces muséographies conduit à l’analyse des stratégies mobilisées par les conservateurs pour y pallier. Parmi celles-ci, l’auteur insiste sur la façon dont la pratique artistique agit sur l’imaginaire patrimonial et sur la mise en forme de l’Histoire. Puisque le décodage et le ré-encodage des patrimoines par la création contemporaine produisent de nouvelles visualités qui ouvrent sur ce qu’il appelle une post-esthétique du trauma.The article addresses the memory of slavery and the place given to its heritage in French museums. It examines the structuring of memory work by the production of four types of discourse: legal, political, scientific and social. These statements affect the strategies of presentation in museum collections, whose variations are examined here mainly at Nantes and Bordeaux. Identifying the limitations of these museologies leads to an analysis of the strategies adopted by curators to remedy them. The author focuses on the way their artistic practice impacts the heritage imaginary and shapes the presentation of History. The decoding and re-encoding of heritage by contemporary creativity produce new visual effects that open up onto what he calls a post-aesthetics of trauma
