Comment (0)Jean-Marie Straub y Danièle Huillet: hacer la revolución es volver a colocar en su sitio cosas muy antiguas pero olvidadas (2016) [Spanish]
Filed under catalogue | Tags: · cinema, film, film criticism, film theory
“Primera monografía en español dedicada al cine de Jean-Marie Straub y Danièle Huillet, editada con motivo de la retrospectiva completa que el Museo dedicara a ambos cineastas en 2016. El libro es un proyecto complementario pero autónomo al ciclo y se concibe como una caja de herramientas para aproximarse desde diferentes perspectivas a un proyecto fílmico tan radical y exigente como el de Straub-Huillet. De esta manera, la crítica de Serge Daney se cita con el ensayo filosófico de Jacques Rancière y el análisis del paisaje de Santos Zunzunegui convive con la mirada a la historia de Jean Narboni. El estudio de los títulos de Manuel Ramos y una amplia entrevista cierran el libro. Complementan el volumen dos documentos de Glauber Rocha y Peter Handke, un epílogo de Pedro Costa y la filmografía completa en castellano.”
Autores: Manuel Asín, Chema González, Glauber Rocha, Serge Daney, Jean Narboni, Peter Handke, Jacques Rancière, Santos Zunzunegui, Manuel Ramos Martínez y François Albera.

Culture as Organization in Early Soviet Thought: Bogdanov, Eisenstein, and the Proletkult (2016)
Filed under book, spherical book | Tags: · cinema, film, film theory, montage, philosophy, proletkult, russia, systems theory, tektology, theory
“This anthology brings together a group of film researchers, historians, political scientists and systems scientists to discuss historical and contemporary tangential points between the sciences and the arts in Russia during the first decades of the twentieth century. All chapters provide new insights into linkages between the arts, philosophy and other disciplines during this period. Tangential points between early Russian systems thinking and approaches to montage that were being developed within the film community are examined in detail. The contributing authors focus on two thinkers: the filmmaker, Sergei M. Eisenstein and the systems theorist, Aleksandr A. Bogdanov.”
The book is published in an interactive format inspired by Eisenstein’s idea of the “Spherical Book”, organising chapters in a thematic modular way, allowing for multiple reading perspectives.
