I diciotto saggi qui raccolti, dedicati allanalisi di film e serie TV, intendono tracciare i contorni di una mappa sintomatica dellAmerica degli anni Zero e oltre. Un insieme di forme narrative e stilistiche, di autori e generi, di strategie produttive e convergenze mediali in grado di raccontare e mostrare alcuni aspetti dellidentita americana allalba del nuovo secolo. La global Hollywood e la global America, che fanno implicitamente da sfondo ai testi e contesti convocati in queste pagine, non solo non rimuovono la necessita di fare i conti con lessere americani, con la Storia della Nazione, con la sua ideologia, ma anzi la rilanciano allennesima potenza, dopo il trauma dell11 settembre che viene quasi subito a segnare indelebilmente gli anni Zero; un trauma che si e immediatamente posto come major event, sia in senso fattuale che simbolico, costituendo una soglia rispetto alla quale ogni riflessione e ricognizione sullamericanness, per tutto il decennio successivo, sino a oggi, si e, almeno implicitamente, misurata. Con saggi di: Giaime Alonge, Pier Maria Bocchi, Paola Brembilla, Giulia Carluccio, Andrea Chimento, Lorenzo Donghi, Riccardo Fassone, Leonardo Gandini, Luca Malavasi, Giacomo Manzoli, Andrea Mattacheo, Attilio Palmieri, Guglielmo Pescatore, Mariapaola Pierini, Matteo Pollone, Roy Menarini, Hamilton Santia.

Crisi, emergenze, catastrofi. I fatti dell11 settembre 2001 hanno inaugurato un millennio in cui sembrano intensificarsi guerre e conflitti, pandemie, emergenze ecologiche, e il nuovo disordine mondiale genera impoverimento e disuguaglianze, esaspera paure personali e collettive. Con un approccio interdisciplinare che non trascura cenni storici, antropologici e sociologici, il libro propone lanalisi di un ampio ventaglio di opere realizzate da artisti di vari paesi del mondo nellultimo quindicennio su emergenze e crisi planetarie. Una produzione deterritorializzata, in cui la pratica e letica del cinema del reale sono recuperate in modo innovativo, tra le estetiche incerte degli smartphone e leredita del cinema sperimentale e della videoarte in dialogo col digitale.

Montgomery Clift a été une star immense entre la fin des années quarante et le milieu des années soixante. Mais il ne fut pas une étoile comme une autre. Il a traversé le ciel hollywoodien telle une comete : un peu plus de 13 annees passees sur les planches, 20 sur les plateaux de cinema, soit 17 films et une mort prematuree a 45 ans.Comme James Dean, il a ete victime dun accident de voiture. A la difference du rebelle sans cause qui ladmirait, celui que tout le monde appelait Monty a survecu. Rebelle, il la ete a sa maniere. Moins tonitruante que celle de son cadet. Il a ete le premier a imposer ses conditions aux tout-puissants studios, se payant le luxe de reecrire ses dialogues.Aujourdhui, le grand public se souvient davantage de Marlon Brando. Il etait le concurrent numero un de Monty. Dans les couloirs des redactions, il se disait que si lun nobtenait pas un role, cetait lautre qui laurait. Au-dela de cette rivalite, il y avait un grand respect mutuel. Elle revelait aussi lenvie dapprocher la perfection.Toute sa vie, Montgomery Clift na eu de cesse de donner le meilleur de lui-meme, allant chercher profondement en lui, dans sa propre existence, les materiaux utiles a son art. Ses compositions sont le resultat dun travail acharne. Ses personnages restent graves dans les memoires : Matthew Garth, le jeune cow-boy de Red River (La Riviere rouge) en lutte contre lautorite, Robert E. Lee Prewitt, le soldat idealiste de From Here to Eternity (Tant quil y aura des hommes), et Perce Howland, le heros blesse de The Misfits (Les Desaxes). Des etres solitaires et ecorches, a limage de lhomme qui les incarnait. Si ce livre doit prouver quelque chose, cest letonnante proximite entre ces personnages et lacteur. Montrer a quel point vie professionnelle et vie privee ont fini par se meler.LEnfer du decor nest donc pas une biographie, mais un travail de synthese melant elements biographiques et analyse filmique conferant a cet ouvrage un aspect analytique quon ne trouve, a ce jour, dans aucun autre ouvrage consacre au comedien. Mais il a une autre particularite, celle detre le seul en France a octroyer a cet acteur fabuleux et meconnu la place quil merite, celui dun createur sensible, erudit et marginal, qui inspira de nombreux autres et changea le statut de lacteur en insufflant a la profession un supplement dame et de cur, une authenticite.Sebastien Monod a suivi des etudes de cinema. Il travaille dans le milieu du livre et est, en parallele, auteur de romans qui ont la particularite de mettre en scene de nombreux personnages. Ses lecteurs apprecient une plume, de leur propre aveu, tres cinematographique.Table des matieres // Avant-propos // Une comete dans le ciel dHollywood // Une enfance peu ordinaire // Le theatre (1932-1946) // Red River / La Riviere rouge (1948) // The Search / Les Anges marques (1948) // The Heiress / LHeritiere (1949) // The Big Lift / La Ville ecartelee (1950) // A Place in the Sun / Une place au soleil (1951) // I Confess / La Loi du silence

David Hallberg, the first American to join the famed Bolshoi Ballet as a principal dancer and the dazzling artist The New Yorker described as the most exciting male dancer in the western world, presents a look at his artistic lifeup to the moment he returns to the stage after a devastating injury that almost cost him his career.Beginning with his real-life Billy Elliot childhoodan all-American story marred by intense bullyingand culminating in his hard-won comeback, Hallbergs moving and intelligent (Daniel Mendelsohn) memoir dives deep into life as an artist as he wrestles with ego, pushes the limits of his body, and searches for ecstatic perfection and fulfillment as one of the worlds most acclaimed ballet dancers.Rich in detail ballet fans will adore, Hallberg presents an unsparinginside look (The New York Times) and also reflects on universal and relatable themes like inspiration, self-doubt, and perfectionism as he takes you into daily classes, rigorous rehearsals, and triumphant performances, searching for new interpretations of ballets greatest roles. He reveals the loneliness he felt as a teenager leaving America to join the Paris Opera Ballet School, the ambition he had to tame as a new member of American Ballet Theatre, and the reasons behind his headline-grabbing decision to be the first American to join the top rank of Bolshoi Ballet, tendered by the Artistic Director who would later be the victim of a vicious acid attack. Then, as Hallberg performed throughout the world at the peak of his abilities, he suffered a crippling ankle injury and botched surgery leading to an agonizing retreat from ballet and an honest reexamination of his entire life.Combining his powers of observation and memory with emotional honesty and artistic insight, Hallberg has written a great ballet memoir and an intimate portrait of an artist in all his vulnerability, passion, and wisdom. Candid and engrossing (The Washington Post), A Body of Work is a memoir for everyone with a heart (DC Metro Theater Arts).
