La Furia Umana
  • I’m not like evereybody else

  • E che, sono forse al mondo per realizzare delle idee?

    W.C. Williams

La Furia Umana, a journal of interference that (from the beginning) overcrosses boundaries, aims, on the contrary, to promote intersectionality and peace.

Solidarity in practice: Algiers’ Red Years

Editorial

To read what has never been written, to put the institution back in motion, to subtract tradition from conformism – as Benjamin suggested – has always been the vocation of this journal. As Michel Serres would say: write texts of which you are not the author. To think of a new subjectivity (agency) that invades the human and nonhuman, and also, why not, starting from the old querelle about authorship/discourse, or signature/system. Is Lang an author? And Walsh isn’t? It’s obvious that we are beyond all this.

Character, destiny and simulacre: Walsh, Lang and Bogdanovich

Bogdanovich simulates the original, rather than maddening it, introduces even subtle slippage so that his cinema is not only a gaze at things — transparent as in the meaning of Hollywood classicism — but also informed by perceptive patterns, by visual and cultural patterns: his gaze is charged with the theory and history of cinema.

Borges et le cinéma

Qu’attire tant Borges au cinéma ? Il adore les histoires, on y reviendra longuement, il y cherche aussi un certain dépaysement. Ainsi écrit-il dans l’une de ses critiques : « Entrer dans une salle de cinéma de la rue Lavalle et me trouver (non sans surprise) dans le golfe du Bengale ou dans Wabash Avenue vaut mieux, me semble-t-il, que d’entrer dans cette même salle de cinéma et me trouver (non sans surprise) dans la rue Lavalle ».

The Ambient Landscape

This excerpted material follows from earlier chapters in the book in which I sketch out a flexible morphology of suspense, one that includes art cinema, encompasses a wide range of speeds and intensities, and goes beyond simply defining suspense as a genre unto itself.

Lire et voir : La Danse rouge (1928)

De proportion épique, La Danse rouge (1928), l’ultime d’une cinquantaine de films muets qu’a tournés Raoul Walsh depuis 1912 jusqu’à l’avènement du talkie, se situe à l’ombre des chefs-d’œuvre bien connus, tels Regeneration (1915), The Thief of Bagdad (1925), ou Sadie Thompson (1928).

O que resta do rosto ou do rosto que resta

Preâmbulo O que o rosto expõe e revela não é algo que possa ser formulado em proposições com sentido nem é um segredo condenado a permanecer para sempre incomunicável. A revelação do rosto é a revelação da linguagem em si mesma. Tal revelação, portanto, não tem nenhum conteúdo real e não diz a verdade acerca deste ou […]
