Beschreibung

Slapstick Origins explores the rich history of slapstick comedy, tracing its roots from ancient theatrical traditions to its modern-day manifestations. The book argues that slapstick isn't just lowbrow humor, but a complex art form reflecting societal changes. It delves into the historical antecedents, like commedia dell'arte, and dissects the technical elements, such as pratfalls and chases, revealing the artistry behind seemingly simple gags.

 
Intriguingly, slapstick's themes of social disruption and absurd situations resonate across cultures, making it a potent form of social commentary. The book analyzes the evolution of slapstick across chapters, starting with its historical context and moving through specific periods like silent films and the rise of figures such as Charlie Chaplin. It further examines contemporary examples in sitcoms and action comedies.

 
By connecting performing arts, history, and film studies, Slapstick Origins offers a holistic understanding of slapstick's significance and its enduring influence on popular culture.

It explores the histories and afterlives of sound collections and practices at the International Library of African Music. Sound Fragments follows what happens when a colonial sound archive is repurposed and reimagined by local artists in post-apartheid South Africa. The narrative speaks to larger issues in sound studies, curatorial practices, and the reciprocity and ethics of listening to and reclaiming culture. Sound Fragments interrogates how Xhosa arts activism contributes to an expanding notion of what a sound or cultural archive could be, and where it may resonate now and in future.

    For over a century, cinephiles and film scholars have had to grapple with an ugly artifact that sits at the beginnings of film history. D. W. Griffith's profoundly racist epic, The Birth of a Nation, inspired controversy and protest at its 1915 release and was defended as both a true history of Reconstruction (although it was based on fiction) and a new achievement in cinematic art. Paul McEwan examines the long and shifting history of its reception, revealing how the film became not just a cinematic landmark but also an influential force in American aesthetics and intellectual life. 
     
     
     
    In every decade since 1915, filmmakers, museums, academics, programmers, and film fans have had to figure out how to deal with this troublesome object, and their choices have profoundly influenced both film culture and the notion that films can be works of art. Some critics tried to set aside the film's racism and concentrate on the form, while others tried to relegate that racism safely to the past. McEwan argues that from the earliest film retrospectives in the 1920s to the rise of remix culture in the present day, controversies about this film and its meaning have profoundly shaped our understandings of film, race, and art.
