Suicídio, da identificação com a mãe morta ao resgate narcísico: um estudo psicanalítico do personagem Richard Brown do filme As horas

O tema desta Dissertação é o suicídio como conseqüência da identificação com a mãe morta. Trata-se de uma pesquisa teórica fundamentada na teoria psicanalítica, que recorre à análise do personagem Richard Brown, do filme As Horas, para ilustrar o argumento teórico de que a revivescência da identificação com a mãe morta pode ser um fator desencadeante do suicídio do melancólico na vida adulta. Inicialmente procura explicitar o conceito de mãe morta, caracterizada como uma mãe que mesmo quando está presente mostra-se ausente nos cuidados e no investimento amoroso ao filho em função de sua depressão. Assim, para a criança, a imagem materna será a de uma mãe sem vida, de uma mãe morta. Mostra a identificação com a mãe morta como saída psíquica para a situação traumática proveniente do desinvestimento amoroso maternal. A criança na relação com esta mãe vive uma catástrofe psíquica chamada por Green de trauma narcisista, o que vai determinar o destino do investimento libidinal, objetal e narcisista do sujeito. Assim sendo, considera-se a melancolia como uma psicopatologia manifestada na vida adulta pelo sujeito subjugado pelo complexo da mãe morta. O estudo da melancolia no texto Luto e Melancolia, de Freud, fornece subsídios para se compreender os processos do mundo interior daqueles que querem dar cabo à sua própria existência. A melancolia evidencia o embate entre o Eu e o Supereu nos papéis de acusado e acusador. Mostra que o Supereu se torna sádico ao cobrar perfeição do Eu masoquista empobrecido narcisicamente pela identificação com a mãe morta. Quando chega às raias do sadismo esse embate leva o Eu, identificado com a mãe morta, a desejar eliminar o objeto mau introjetado numa parte do Eu, para resgatar o seu valor narcísico idealizado. Aponta o suicídio como a saída psíquica encontrada pelo melancólico para livrar-se da identificação com a mãe morta. Conclui que no suicídio os conflitos inconscientes manifestados na vida adulta são revivescências dos conteúdos psíquicos registrados na infância. No caso estudado em questão, a revivescência da identificação com a mãe morta teria sido o fator desencadeante do suicídio de Richard Brown na vida adulta.

It is said that a film producer to receive a prestigious award in the United States thanked saying We Speak of Life. Maybe this isone of the reasons for the fascination produced by this art. Life is a movie. The film celebrates life.

O estilo do rei: o diálogo entre O Rei Leão, da Disney, e Hamlet, de Shakespeare, sob uma perspectiva semiótica

This work consists of a semiotic analysis of the animation motion picture The Lion King (1994), by the Walt Disney Animation Studios, describing its intertextual relation with Hamlet, by Shakespeare, considering Disney’s individuality, its style. In order to study style in texts, we use discursive semiotics theory, highlighting Discini’s work (2013) and the concept of discursive settings. Hence, a deep discussion about The Lion King’s style, compared to the Shakespeare’s play, is established. The movie, once a syncretic text, requires advanced studies on Expression Plane, its plastic, musical and verbal/phonic aspects. We find these studies in the work of José Luiz Fiorin (2009), Lúcia Teixeira (2009), Ana Claúdia de Oliveira (2009), Jean-Marie Floch (2009) and Antônio Vicente Pietroforte (2008). We note how a syncretic text makes the discursive settings more complex by assembling plastic and sonorous materials in semissimbolic relation. Once defined The Lion King’s style, we analyze the way it justifies the intense popularity of this kind of animation features. Finally, it is important to understand how Disney uses in its style not only discursive settings, but also passional settings, revealing its own way to stir emotions on the spectator

Nursing the fatherland? Hohenzollern statebuilding and the hidden transcript of political resistance in Hanoverian female charity during the Second German Empire

In summer 1866 the Austro-Prussian struggle for supremacy in Germany erupted into open conflict. King Georg V of Hanover sided with other governments loyal to the German Confederation against Prussia, but after initially defeating Prussian forces at Langensalza, he was forced to capitulate. Two days after the battle, on June 29, 1866, the widow of the Hanoverian general Sir Georg Julius von Hartmann told her daughter in no uncertain terms how she felt about the Prussian government and its allies. In her opinion they were nothing more than “robber states” that cloaked their disregard for the Ten Commandments in sanctimonious public displays of piety. “These Protestant Jesuits,” she continued, “offend me more than the Catholic ones. You know that I am German with all my heart and love my Germany, but I cannot consider them genuine Germans anymore because they only want to make Germany Prussian.”

Casa Huarte: José Antonio Corrales y Ramón Vázquez Molezún. El concepto de lo experimental en el ámbito doméstico

Se plantea aquí el estudio de la Casa Huarte (1966) como un experimento doméstico -así lo concibió el matrimonio Huarte desde la libertad de acción y la entrega al talento de los arquitectos- que sintetizó los principios de los proyectos de la primera etapa de la obra de José Antonio Corrales (1921-2010) y Ramón Vázquez Molezún (1922-1993): paisaje construido, topografía modificada, basamento pesado y arraigado, cubierta ligera flotante y abstracción compositiva. La considerada vivienda experimental del siglo XX estaba asociada a estructuras familiares reducidas, como mucho formadas por un matrimonio con dos hijos. La Casa Huarte, sin embargo, pertenece a un grupo no reconocido de viviendas experimentales de gran formato, que aportaban -en entornos de vida socio-familiar no convencionales- una complejidad funcional, espacial y de relaciones interpersonales que la vivienda mínima no tenía. La Casa Huarte supuso un punto de inflexión en la carrera de Corrales y Molezún, culminando una primera etapa donde se concentraron sus obras más destacadas: Instituto en Herrera de Pisuerga (1956), Residencia de Miraflores (1958) y Pabellón de Bruselas, en sus versiones belga (1958) y española (1959). El proyecto de la Casa Huarte adelantó estrategias que aplicarían en proyectos posteriores -dinamismo del plano horizontal, visuales diagonales, entrada tangencial- y culminó la evolución de un tipo de vivienda que Corrales y Molezún comenzaron a investigar diez años antes. Entre 1956 y 1961 proyectaron cuatro viviendas (Casa Remírez Escudero, Casa Álvarez Mon, Casa Gómez Acebo y Casa Cela) que anticiparon soluciones y situaciones presentes y perfeccionadas en la Casa Huarte. Corrales aseguraba que si la vida es contradictoria la arquitectura también debería serlo. La Casa Huarte es compleja y contradictoria funcional y espacialmente, homogeneizada por una imagen exterior rotunda y atractiva de juegos de volúmenes maclados. El proyecto se muestra así de contundente detrás de habilidosas maniobras tectónicas que ocultan las muchas complejidades y contradicciones aparentemente inapreciables. Estas maniobras confunden la imagen que de la casa se tiene. Debajo de su manto cerámico de reminiscencias vernáculas - híbrido de casa castellana y arquitectura nórdica- se esconde una obra de arquitectura avanzada tecnológicamente. La tesis se desarrolla en cuatro apartados denominados procesos, por lo que tienen de secuencia en el desarrollo de la investigación. Estos procesos son: proceso descriptivo, proceso analítico, proceso interpretativo y proceso poético. Después del necesario e introductorio proceso descriptivo, el cuerpo central de la tesis -que contiene los procesos analítico, interpretativo y poético- sigue un guión marcado por la defensa de la categoría experimental de la Casa Huarte. Se han tratado los conceptos más característicos de la vivienda, desde los más generales a los más específicos divididos en cuatro grupos: Composición, volumen y espacio; El patio como lugar; El jardín: horizonte construido; Domesticidad del mundo interior; y Euritmia: materia y espíritu Molezún aseguraba que para entender una obra de arquitectura había que dibujarla. La Casa Huarte ha sido redibujada en sus tres etapas fundamentales: el proyecto de ejecución (marzo 1965), la casa acabada (noviembre 1966) y el estado actual (2012). El estudio y análisis se centra en la casa construida, por ser la realidad tridimensional en que el proyecto se nos manifiesta. La documentación gráfica del estado actual de la vivienda es inédita y ha sido posible gracias a múltiples inspecciones de la Casa Huarte en visitas facilitadas por las hijas de Jesús Huarte, actuales propietarias de la vivienda. Esta documentación nos permite constatar las alteraciones sobre la obra construida y conocer que modificaciones serían necesarias para recuperar el estado original de la casa. La Casa Huarte es una obra singular, una de las cinco viviendas unifamiliares pertenecientes a la Arquitectura del Movimiento Moderno en España y Portugal de mayor interés registrada por el Docomomo Internacional. Su futuro es incierto, se encuentra deshabitada y en venta. La familia Huarte ha cumplido con creces la misión de conservar su patrimonio. Es pertinente reivindicar su vigencia como obra de referencia de la arquitectura española del siglo XX, y, de esa manera, evitar que caiga en el olvido y el abandono. ABSTRACT The Huarte House (1966) will be analysed as a domestic experiment – that is how the Huarte’s conceived it, putting their faith in the architects – that synthesized the principles from the projects of the first phase of the work of Jose Antonio Corrales (1921-2010) and Ramón Vázquez Molezún (1922-1993): built landscape, modified topography, heavy and rooted base, light, floating roof and abstraction in composition. The experimental house of the 20th century was associated with small nuclear families of at the most a couple and two children. The Huarte House belongs to a group of non-recognised experimental houses of a larger size -and more unconventional familial settings- that lent themselves to greater functional, spatial and interpersonal complexity than their smaller counterparts. The Huarte House represented a turning point in the careers of Corrales and Molezún, capping a first phase that includes their most prominent work: the Institute at Herrera de Pisuerga (1965), the Residence at Miraflores (1958) and the Brussels Pavilion, in its Belgian (1958) and Spanish (1959) version. The project for the Huarte house anticipated strategies which they would apply to later projects: dynamism of the horizontal plane, diagonal visuals, and tangential entrances. It was also the culmination of the evolution of a type of house that Corrales and Molezún had started to investigate ten years earlier. Between 1956 and 1961 they designed four houses (Ramírez Escudero House, Álvarez Mon House, Gómez Acebo House and Cela House) that anticipated the solutions applied and perfected in the Huarte House. Corrales believed that if life was contradictory architecture should be so too. The Huarte House is complex and contradictory. Corrales and Molezún homogenised the project under a bold and attractive image of intersecting volumes. The project appears emphatic thanks to skilful tectonic manoeuvres that conceal the many complexities and contradictions so that they become imperceptible. These manoeuvres confound the image of the house. Under its ceramic blanket of vernacular reminiscences (a mixture of Castilian house and Nordic architecture) lies a technologically advanced piece of architecture. The thesis is organised in four chapters named ‘processes’ in reference to their sequence in the development of the research. These processes are: descriptive process, analytic process, interpretative process and poetic process. After the necessary and introductory descriptive process, the main body of the thesis, which encompasses the analytical, interpretative and poetic processes, develops the argument for incorporating the Huarte House into the experimental category. The thesis addresses the characteristic concepts of a house, from the general to the more specific, divided in four groups: composition, volume and space; the patio: architecture and landscape; the garden: building the horizon and eurythmy: spirit and matter. Molezún was convinced that to get to know a work of architecture it was necessary to draw it. The Huarte House is redrawn in its three main phases: the executive project (march 1965), the finished house (november 1966) and its actual state (2012). The study and analysis centers on the built house, as the actual tri-dimensional manifestation of the project. The graphic documentation of the present state of the house has never been published before and has been made possible by numerous visits to the House facilitated by Jesus Huarte’s daughters who are the current owners. This documentation allows us to determine any alterations of the constructed work and derive the necessary modifications to bring the house back to its original state. The Huarte House is a unique work, one of five single family homes registered by the International Docomomo. Its future is uncertain. It is currently uninhabited and up for sale. The Huarte family has more than delivered on the mission to safeguard its patrimony. It is important to defend its place as a key work of Spanish architecture of the 20th century and so avoid it being forgotten and abandoned.

Remaking Movie Making: The Environmental Impacts of the Film Industry in Southern California

The film and television industry is integral to the economics and culture of the Southern California region. It is also a major contributing factor to the environmental problems in the region. Currently the Motion Picture, Television, and Commercial Industries Act of 1984 is the only regulation written specifically for the entertainment industry. This regulation was created with the purpose of streamlining the film permitting process to prevent run-away production, taking production out of state, and encourage growth. A change in this regulation is needed since studios routinely fail to meet environmental standards or work towards improvement during on-location filming. Amendments to this regulation requiring permits to contain environmental conditions would improve environmental conditions and stay true to the original purpose of the act.
