  • Ace in the hole: Media panics, muted voices, and anxieties of consumption in the reception of Joker

    Ernest MathijsARTICLENew Review of Film and Television…2021

    This essay contrasts components of the reception of Joker: the media panic which accompanied its release, the muted reception following its theatrical and home-viewing releases, and its anxious reception contexts. These processes showcase how Joker’s reception became ‘normalized’, neutered and made to fit into categories of mediated debate dictated by standards of public discourse from which many potential participants felt shut out – or, not unl…

  • Sleaze Artists: Cinema at the Margins of Taste, Style and Politics

    Ernest MathijsARTICLEScreen2009

    Sleaze Artists is a collection of essays on often little-known or derided works well outside the canon of film studies curricula: cliche horror movies, sexploitation, pornography, video nasties. Occasionally, the odd auteur pops up – someone like Todd Haynes, who double-dips in kitsch and art, or a semi-respectable figure such as Dario Argento, whose audacity makes him an accepted point of comparison to ‘film history proper’. But in most cases th…

  • Nobody is innocent’: Cinema and sexuality in contemporary Belgian culture

    Ernest MathijsARTICLESocial Semiotics2004References: 1

    Discussions of sexuality often revolve around issues of cultural representation and identity. The Belgian film S. (dir. Guido Henderickx 1988), both criticises and exploits representations of sexuality. In doing so, it fails to fit the usual categories of reception in Belgium, thus challenging established views on Belgian cultural identity. Through a focus on a failed reception, which refuses to address the issue of abjection and the submission o…

  • Big Brother and Critical Discourse: The Reception of Big Brother Belgium

    Open AccessErnest MathijsARTICLETelevision & New Media2002Cited by: 6References: 1

    This essay discusses the critical discourse surrounding the reception of the first season of Big Brother in Belgium. Comments on the show varied from moral outrage, over discussions of the program's intrinsic features, to discussions of the show's cultural resonance. In general, these comments followed a trajectory similar to John Corner's description of a move from use value (social significance) to exchange value (a consumer's product), while a…
