Cinema of national remembrance as a prosthesis: Polish films on cursed soldiersDespite the established position of historical cinema and the huge social expectations revealed by the reception of the long delayed release of Historia Roja (2016, dir. Jerzy Zalewski), Polish cinema, especially feature films, has only slightly contributed to the creation and preservation of the cursed soldiers phenomenon. In the article I focus on the contemporary films on cursed soldiers, both feature ones and documentaries, from the perspective of Alison Landsberg’s prosthetic memory. I will analyze the former using the Amanda Ann Klein’s concept of film cycles. I will describe the latter in the context of historical documentary filmmaking after 1989, referring to Mirosław Przylipiak’s findings. Kino pamięci narodowej jako proteza: Filmy o żołnierzach wyklętychMimo ugruntowanej pozycji kina historycznego i olbrzymich oczekiwań społecznych, które ujawniły reakcje na odwlekaną premierę Historii Roja (2016, reż. Jerzy Zalewski), polskie kino, zwłaszcza fabularne, w niewielkim stopniu przyczyniło się do współtworzenia fenomenu tzw. żołnierzy wyklętych. W artykule skupiam się na współczesnych filmach o żołnierzach wyklętych przez pryzmat koncepcji pamięci protetycznej Alison Landsberg, biorąc pod uwagę zarówno fabuły jak i dokumenty. Te pierwsze charakteryzuję, używając koncepcji cyklu filmowego Amandy Ann Klein. Te drugie opisuję, umieszczając je w nurcie dokumentalnych filmów historycznych po 1989 roku, przy czym odwołuję się do ustaleń Mirosława Przylipiaka.

AbstractBetween 1930 and 1937, the Lianhua Film Company was one of the major studios in China, and in many ways was a symbol of modernity. The policy of the Company towards its actors was quite new and contributed to the creation of a new social status for this group, especially for the women. This paper focuses on three female stars (Wang Renmei, Chen Yanyan and Li Lili,) who worked for the Lianhua Film Company. Through a detailed analysis of the photos published in its magazine, Lianhua Huabao, as well as feature films produced by the Company, we will study Lianhua's strategies to transform these women into professional actresses. Their image was created by the entanglement of three spheres: their private lives, their public lives and their fiction lives played on screen. We will consider the sometimes conflicting relationships between these spheres by looking at the visual sources (photos and feature films) in conjunction with the actresses' biographies and movie roles. This will underline the complexity and ambiguity of a process understood by the Lianhua Film Company not only as the making of professional actresses but also as the creation of a new, modern Chinese woman.

Recent research has appropriately emphasized the significant role played by feature films in the creation (as well as the reflection) of popular stereotypes of the scientist. However, no particular study has yet been devoted to the depiction of women scientists in the cinema, even though it is quite clear that this presents its own distinctive features. Taking the influential Madame Curie (Mervyn LeRoy, 1943) as a starting point, this paper attempts to give a first overview of the subject.


In this scientific article the art of today’s Uzbek cinema, and its problems related to professionalism, their solutions and image decision on screen, and the graphic aspect of Uzbek private films has been analyzed. The scientific significance of the research is that the activities of the cameramen in the Uzbek private film industry, their role in the image decision have been thoroughly analyzed, the films that shot by them has been analyzed, and recommendations for eliminating identified shortcomings have been developed.

This chapter examines colonialists’ use of visual culture to develop metropolitan Germans’ identification with the distant colonial territories. Colonialists mobilized a variety of visual forms, including posters and photography, to reach Germans who had seemed unresponsive to their written and oral propaganda. These images, which colonialists believed had a unique power to transcend viewers’ critical distance, would provide an “experience” of the colonies. Broadly speaking, colonialist visual culture focused on three themes: the creation of a German Heimat in the African landscape, the heroism of colonial Germans, and Germans’ protection of an “authentic Africanness” through their benevolent colonialism. In this arena as well, however, colonialists faced a wealth of visual representations of Africa created by other sources. As case studies of these other representations, the chapter examines Werner Peiner’s African paintings, the commercial imagery of Reklamesammelbilder (illustrated trading cards), and feature films with colonial or African themes.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
