Para Julio Cabrera, grandes diretores como Ingmar Bergman, Alain Resnais, Stanley Kubrick ou mesmo Steven Spielberg não são apenas cineastas, são filósofos. No livro O cinema pensa – uma introdução à filosofia através dos filmes, o autor defende sua teoria de que os longas-metragens, mais do que experiências estéticas ou produtos de lazer para as massas, são conceitos-imagem, ferramentas poderosas para a exposição e a discussão de questões caras à humanidade. Seguindo esse raciocínio, Cabrera discute Roman Polanski com base em Santo Tomás de Aquino, compara Michelangelo Antonioni a Descartes, analisa Wim Wenders sob a ótica de Hegel e estabelece um paralelo entre Nietzsche e Oliver Stone, por exemplo. Kant dialoga com o Peter Weir de Sociedade dos poetas mortos e o Fred Zinnemann de O homem que não vendeu sua alma, quando o assunto é liberdade. Hegel joga luz sobre os conceitos-imagem de Paris, Texas, de Wim Wenders, Império do Sol, de Steven Spielberg, O turista acidental, de Lawrence Kasdan, e Hiroshima meu amor, de Alain Resnais. Cabrera também disseca os filmes de Clint Eastwood, Lindsay Anderson, Ridley Scott, Ingmar Bergman, Frank Darabont, Roman Polanski e tantos outros. O resultado é uma análise apurada da cultura contemporânea sob a luz da filosofia.

This book presents an interdisciplinary study of the relation between semiotics, law & art. Focusing on Greimasian semiotics, it examines specific works of art (from Giotto to Banksy) that deal with the theme of justice, promoting a more sensitive and humanized perception of the values that surround law. The book offers readers a comprehensive review of the semiotics of law, critically examining the relation between law & art. It covers a variety of topics, including semiotics, law and art; semiotics, art and experience; and society, law and art, as well as semiotics, law and painting; semiotics, law and architecture; semiotics, law and theatre; semiotics, law and literature; and semiotics, law and culture. In doing so, it uses the semiotics of painting to explain the symbology of justice and its significance in history; the semiotics of architecture to explain the setting of justice; the semiotics of theatre to explain the logic of the legal process; and the semiotics of literature to explain the narrative logic of legal decisions. Lastly, drawing on the semiotics of culture, it discusses ways of promoting justice, citizenship and human rights. Written from both philosophical and semiotical perspectives, the book enhances the centrality of visual jurisprudence studies to promote a better understanding of the role of law.

Conversando com os Filmes, é o resultado de um processo reflexivo que utiliza o cinema como pista de decolagem. Um fascinante mergulho pelas histórias do cinema contextualizado ao raciocínio de maneira clara e acessível.Para o autor, Pablo González Blasco, que há mais de duas décadas utiliza o cinema como recurso educacional, na medicina, seu campo profissional, e na vida, a interação com os filmes é uma verdadeira aventura. O que se diz na tela e o que se intui, estabelece um diálogo com a consciência, onde a memória das vivências, a cultura que nos cerca, são o pano de fundo para inúmeras considerações. O que impacta não é apenas o que o filme descreve, mas sim algo a mais que transita no meio, entre os fotogramas e o pensamento do espectador, e dispara a reflexão. Conversando com os Filmes, não é uma coletânea de críticas. Fala-se, sim, dos filmes, porém, os comentários recolhidos são o resultado de uma análise, entre o que o cinema traz, e o que o espectador pensa e evoca. Uma experiência estética que nos faz acordar para o humano, nos leva a refletir, nos humaniza.

The Moving Form of Film: Historicizing the Medium through Other Media charts the ways in which crossing borders between film and other arts and media can provide an encompassing, inclusive, and non-teleological understanding of film history. Evolutionary narratives of cinema have traditionally adopted the Second World War as a watershed that separates 'classical' Hollywood films from 'modern' European productions, a scheme that subjects the entire world to the cinematic history of two hegemonic centres. In turn, histories of film as a technological medium have focused on the specificity of cinema as it gradually separated from the other art and medial forms - theatre, dance, fairground spectacle, painting, literature, still photography and other pre-cinematic modes. Taking an ambitious step forward with relation to these approaches, this book focuses on the fluid quality of the film form by exploring an array of exciting and often neglected artistic expressions worldwide as they compare and interconnect films across temporal, geographical, and cultural borders. By observing the ebb and flow of film's contours within the bounds of other artistic and medial expressions, the chapters aspire to establish a flexible historical platform for the moving form of film, posited, from production to consumption, as a transforming and transformative medium.

This volume explores the Italian contribution to the current global phenomenon of a “return to reality” by examining the country’s rich cultural production in literature and cinema. The focus is particularly on works from the period spanning the Nineties to the present day which offer alternatives to notions of reality as manufactured by the collusion between the neo-liberal state and the media. The book also discusses Italy’s relationship with its own cultural past by investigating how Italian authors deal with the return of the specter of Neorealism as it haunts the modern artistic imagination in this new epoch of crisis. Furthermore, the volume engages in dialogue with previous works of criticism on contemporary Italian realism, while going beyond them in devoting equal attention to cinema and literature. The resulting interactions will aid the reader in understanding how the critical arts respond to the triumph of hyperrealism in the current era of the virtual spectacle as they seek new ways to promote cognitive transformations and foster ethical interventions.
