[Commlist] Volupte, Interdisciplinary Journal of Decadence Studies: special issue on decadence and cinema

Wed Feb 12 16:11:04 GMT 2020




Colleagues may be interested in this special issue of the Open Access online journal Volupté, focussed on decadence and cinema.

It offers the first extended exploration of cinema in the cultural context of decadence, both literary and social, from the silent era to the late twentieth century. Through analysis of films from six national cinemas (Italian, British, German, American, Polish, and Greek), the issue establishes the cinematic resonance of decadence as a cultural phenomenon of global dimensions. Among the films discussed: Mario Caserini’s /Ma l’amor mio non muore/ [/Love Everlasting/] (1913), Alla Nazimova’s /Salomé /(1922), Alfred Hitchcock’s /The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog / (1927), Paul Czinner’s /Fräulein Else/ (1929), Henryk Szaro’s /Mocny człowiek/ [/The Powerful Man/] (1929), Robert Freeman’s /The Touchables/ (1968), Michael Sarne’s/Myra Breckinridge/ (1970), and Nikos Nikolaidis’ /Singapore Sling/ (1990).
