El expresionismo alemán nace como tendencia en el período de entreguerras, y es en ese contexto histórico, político y social donde ve la luz la película "El gabinete del Dr. Caligari" (1920). El presente artículo se propone analizar dicho film prestando especial atención a la relación interpersonal que se establece entre los personajes Caligari y Cesare. Resultan fundamentales para ello los planteos sobre estética, teoría del cine y filosofía acuñados por Siegfried Kracauer. El objetivo de este trabajo es entonces mostrar de qué manera la dialéctica hegeliana permite reflexionar sobre cómo el cine alemán ha expresado miedos y tensiones sociales que luego serán materializados en la realidad política y social de la Alemania del momento.
Manuele Gragnolati's paper 'Analogy and Difference: Multistable Figures in Pasolini's "Appunti per un'Orestiade africana"' discusses Pasolini's preference for the figure of contradiction and his opposition to Hegelian dialectics by exploring his attempt to look at Africa's process of modernization and democratization in the 1960s as analogous to the synthetic transformation of the Furies into Eumenides at the end of Aeschylus's trilogy. Gragnolati shows that Pasolini is aware of the dangers of analogy, which risks imposing the author's or filmmaker's symbolic order onto that of the 'other' represented in the text or film, and he argues that Pasolini seeks to deal with this danger by constantly shifting back and forth between differing positions. "Appunti per un'Orestiade africana" can thereby be thought as a multistable figure that is left suspended and not only resists synthesis, but also problematizes its own feasibility and challenges its own legitimacy.
