The Problem with Film
The article explores the film theory written by the Japanese avant-garde artist Murayama Tomoyoshi (1901–1977). Murayama authored a robust yet understudied body of film writing, in the 1920s and 1930s. Although he had a prolific and stable activity related to film—in criticism, theory, screenplays, and even directing—he held an ambivalent opinion about the medium. For him, film could never fulfill art's political task due to what he saw as the on…
Yellowness as Transpacific Technology
This article explores the cinematic functioning of yellow malleability—the instability of the yellowness of the yellow body—within the racial regime forged between Japan and Brazil in the first decades of the twentieth century. Yellow malleability was an ontological premise that allowed local elites to envision an anti-Black future in which racial difference would disappear, overcome by whiteness. The article shows how this racial regime was arti…
(Geo)políticas da Percepção
O artigo faz uma análise comparada de dois filmes considerados marcos globais da vanguarda "periférica" do entreguerras, cujas trajetórias apresentam muitos pontos em comum: Limite, de Mário Peixoto (1931), e Uma Página da Loucura (Kurutta Ichip?ji), de Kinugasa Teinosuke (1926). Propomos uma leitura pós-colonial da fenomenologia fílmica, atentando à materialidade dos filmes e à forma como dão a ver o próprio dispositivo fílmico. Partindo dos dis…
Fotografia contra Vontade
Este artigo tem como objeto principal as imagens que Dorothea Lange produziu para o governo estadunidense dos campos de concentração para japoneses-americanos durante a guerra do Pacífico (1941-1945). Considerando o contexto das políticas raciais, as restrições visuais sobre os campos e a forma como as imagens foram produzidas, suprimidas e comentadas, percebemos que algumas das imagens de Lange resistem à inscrição original, produzindo um contra…
Film and Malaria
In 1927, Brazilian modernist Mário de Andrade encountered in the Amazon a perceptual state provoked by malaria. The malarial gaze was a type of enduring, inactive, and embodied gaze that he imagines as a mode of resistance against capitalist modernity – a trope that finds its way into the critical discourse on national identity. Dialoguing with film theory and queer phenomenology, the article closely reads three scenes of looking in Andrade’s Ama…
Approaches between Asia and Latin America
55 Field Trip Curated by Andrea Bachner and Christopher Bush Approaches between Asia and Latin America: A Critical Renga 6 Framework Christopher Bush The conceit of a “critical renga” was loosely inspired by Octavio Paz, Jacques Roubaud, Edoardo Sanguineti, and Charles Tomlinson’s 1969 quadrilingual experiment in poetic composition Renga, itself loosely modeled on the Japanese poetic genre of that name. This form of “linked verse” became a major …
Estratégias da imagem
Este artigo explora a relação entre imagem, identidade e representação do corpo no cinema contemporâneo japonês através do filme "Ichi, o Assassino" (2001) de Takashi Miike. Partindo do conceito de biopoder e sua influência estética na construção de subjetividades e identidades, o estudo analisa a complexidade estética e diegética do filme, buscando ir além da crítica superficial da violência e explorar novas possibilidades políticas do cinema na…
