The playfulness of Ingmar Bergman : Screenwriting from notebooks to screenplays
No full textThis chapter discusses the creative playfulness in the screenwriting process of Ingmar Bergman’s filmmaking. The process of writing from notes and drafts to finished screenplays is examined from the perspective of genetic criticism in combination with perspectives on screenwriting as an intermediate process across media and in stages. The notion of play refers both to Bergman’s method of creative writing and to the playful dimension of the finished artwork, i.e. the films and screenplays. Play is understood in terms of transcendence between the fictional and the real on various levels. Most importantly, the chapter focuses on play in the ambivalence of agency in Bergman’s notebooks—that is transgressions between author, narrator, and character—that continues in the aesthetics of self-reflexivity and auto-fiction in the screenplays and in the films. The Ingmar Bergman Archives, where his notes and screenplay drafts are collected and digitized, allow such an examination of the writing process. The archive consists of the donation of Bergman’s personal collection of notes, drafts, letters, and other documents—personal and professional—from his early career in the 1930s until the last productions in the early 2000s, across several media and art forms.</p

Assessing timely migration trends through digital traces: a case study of the UK before Brexit
No full textDigital trace data presents an opportunity for promptly monitoring shifts in migrant populations. This contribution aims to determine whether the number of European migrants in the United Kingdom (UK) declined between March 2019 and March 2020, using weekly estimates derived from the Facebook Advertising Platform. The collected data is disaggregated according to age, level of education, and country of origin. To examine the fluctuation in the number of migrants, a simple Bayesian trend model is employed, incorporating indicator variables for age, education, and country. The Facebook data indicates a downward trend in the number of European migrants residing in the UK. This result is further confirmed by the data from the Labour Force Survey. Notably, the outcomes reveal that in the run-up to Brexit, the most significant decline occurred among the age group of 20 to 29 years old – the largest migrant group – and the tertiary educated. This analyses could not be implemented with traditional data sources such as the Labour Force Survey, because this level of disaggregation is not provided. However, there are also important limitations associated with digital trace data, such as algorithm changes and representativeness. These limitations need to be addressed by employing sound statistical methodologies. Nevertheless, this research shows the potential of digital trace data in anticipating migration trends at a timely granularity and informing policymakers
A framework for estimating migrant stocks using digital traces and survey data: an application in the United Kingdom
No full textAn accurate estimation of international migration is hampered by a lack of timely and comprehensive data, and by the use of different definitions and measures of migration in different countries. In an effort to address this situation, we complement traditional data sources for the United Kingdom with social media data: our aim is to understand whether information from digital traces can help measure international migration. The Bayesian framework proposed is used to combine data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the Facebook Advertising Platform to study the number of European migrants in the United Kingdom, with the aim of producing more accurate estimates of the numbers of European migrants. The overarching model is divided into a Theory-Based Model of migration and a Measurement Error Model. We review the quality of the LFS and Facebook data, paying particular attention to the biases of these sources. The results indicate visible yet uncertain differences between model estimates using the Bayesian framework and individual sources. Sensitivity analysis techniques are used to evaluate the quality of the model. The advantages and limitations of this approach, which can be applied in other contexts, are discussed. We cannot necessarily trust any individual source, but combining them through modeling offers valuable insights
Sponsored Search, Market Equilibria, and the Hungarian Method
No full textTwo-sided matching markets play a prominent role in economic theory. A prime example of such a market is the sponsored search market where advertisers compete for the assignment of one of sponsored search results, also known as ``slots'', for certain keywords they are interested in. Here, as in other markets of that kind, market equilibria correspond to stable matchings. In this paper, we show how to modify Kuhn's Hungarian Method (Kuhn, 1955) so that it finds an optimal stable matching between advertisers and advertising slots in settings with generalized linear utilities, per-bidder-item reserve prices, and per-bidder-item maximum prices. The only algorithm for this problem presented so far (Aggarwal et al., 2009) requires the market to be in ``general position''. We do not make this assumption
Fertility and Its Meaning: Evidence from Search Behavior
No full textFertility choices are linked to the different preferences and
constraints of individuals and couples, and vary importantly
by socio-economic status, as well by cultural and institutional
context. The meaning of childbearing and childrearing,
therefore, differs between individuals and across
groups. In this paper, we combine data from Google Correlate
and Google Trends for the U.S. with ground truth data from
the American Community Survey to derive new insights into
fertility and its meaning. First, we show that Google Correlate
can be used to illustrate socio-economic differences on
the circumstances around pregnancy and birth: e.g., searches
for “flying while pregnant” are linked to high income fertility,
and “paternity test” are linked to non-marital fertility. Second,
we combine several search queries to build predictive models
of regional variation in fertility, explaining about 75% of the
variance. Third, we explore if aggregated web search data can
also be used to model fertility trends
Shame: Ingmar Bergman’s Vietnam War
No full textAbstractIngmar Bergman’s film Skammen [Shame] (1968), about a married couple trapped between the warring parties in a bloody civil war, triggered fierce ideological debate in Sweden. According to the harsh critics of the film, among whom the leading critic was well-known author Sara Lidman, Bergman had managed to create propaganda for the American government and its controversial war in Vietnam. In the present paper, the debate is studied historically in relation to ongoing research about the culture of the late 1960s in Sweden. The studied material consists of press clippings, Bergman scholarship, and Bergman’s own recently released papers at the Ingmar Bergman Foundation Archive in Stockholm. Furthermore, questions about meaning and interpretation regarding film viewing are dealt with, taking into consideration developments in contemporary film theory.</jats:p
Ingmar Bergman film and stage
No full text"Generations of filmmakers and film audiences have been inspired by the work of Ingmar Bergman, which has left indelible impressions on practically everyone everywhere who takes seriously the art of moviemaking." "Robert Emmet Long's Ingmar Bergman: Film and Stage is the first fully illustrated account of each of Bergman's films, from his earliest work in the 1940s to the films of the 1950s that established him as Europe's most important and innovative director, Smiles of a Summer Night, The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, and The Magician. By the 1960s hardly a year would pass without a new Bergman movie, among the most memorable: The Virgin Spring, Cries and Whispers, Scenes from a Marriage, The Magic Flute, Autumn Sonata, Fanny and Alexander, and his recent Sunday's Children." "While his film work is widely known, less well known - though hardly less appreciated - is his work for the stage: his productions of classics such as Hamlet, King Lear, A Doll's House, Peer Gynt, Miss Julie, and Long Day's Journey into Night, as well as contemporary plays such as Yukio Mishima's Madame de Sade, have been hailed as startling and innovative - and they are magnificently illustrated in this book." "As Long says in the conclusion to this study, "In the seriousness of his commitment - in his fidelity to craftsmanship and in the intensity of his passion that can be electrifying - Bergman is surely one of our few great contemporary filmmakers."" "Illustrated with more than 200 photographs - 36 in color - and accompanied by a bibliography and filmography, this volume stands as the most complete record of one of the most astonishing careers in the history of the cinema." "Robert Emmet Long is both a recognized critic of American and British literature and a commentator on the performing arts. He is either the author or editor of twenty-eight books, including Abrams' acclaimed 1991 publication The Films of Merchant Ivory."--BOOK JACKET
