    Impact aesthetics: Back to the future in digital cinema? Millennial fantasies
    McQuire, S (SAGE Publications, 2000-12-01)
    This article engages recent debates about the future of cinema in the digital age. Firstly, it seeks to broaden the rather narrow terms in which the transition to digital cinema is often understood in film theory. Secondly, it tries to assess claims about the 'demise of narrative' frequently associated with the digital threshold. On one level, it is argued that a dialectical understanding of the relation between terms such as 'narrative' and 'spectacle' is needed to advance current debates. On another level, it is suggested that digital technology should not be wholly defined by the current dominance of 'blockbuster' films. In place of technological determinism, an understanding based on the politics of spectacle and distracted spectatorship is advanced.

    From Neo-Baroque to Neo-Baroques?
    NDALIANIS, A (Canadian Association of Hispanists, 2008)
    El presente artículo argumenta que el "barroco" puede ser entendido como un estado transhistórico que se extiende más allá del siglo XVII enfocándose no solo en escritores e intelectuales que asi lo han entendido, sino tomando ejemplos provenientes del campo de la literatura, la pintura, la arquitectura o el cine, tales como zoótropos y linternas mágicas, el arte de la revolución vanguardista de inicios del siglo XX, el estilo barroco presente en los inicios de la industria de Hollywood o la abierta aplicación política y crítica de estrategias barrocas adoptadas por escritores españoles y latinoamericanos. El artículo culmina en nuestro propio tiempo, sosteniendo que el contexto urbano y de entretenimiento contemporáneo combina lo visual, lo audible y lo textual en formas que se asemejan al dinamismo de las formas barrocas del siglo XVII, pero expresadas de manera tecnológica y culturalmente diferente que, ya sean a través de películas o series de televisión, exposiciones o movimientos musicales, son resultudo de trasformaciones culturales y sistémicas asociadas con la posmodernidad.

    Haywood’s re-appropriation of the amatory heroine in Betsy Thoughtless
    Hultquist, Aleksondra (University of Iowa, 2006)
    Eliza Haywood’s domestic fiction, epitomized by The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless (1751), does not reject the modes of her earlier amatory fiction work (such as her 1724 Fantomina), but instead dialectically incorporates it. By considering both Pamela and Betsy Thoughtless in the context of Haywood’s amatory fiction of the 1720s, this paper argues that the struggle to appropriate the narrative of the sexually experienced woman highlights the dialogic complexities of the relationships between amatory and domestic fiction in the mid-eighteenth century. The perseverance of amatory modes of writing in later eighteenth-century domestic novels gestures toward alternate ideological possibilities for female subjectivity through both the exercise of virtue and the exploration of sexual desire.
