This commentary on Edwin Carels’ essay “Revisiting Tom Tom: Performative anamnesis and autonomous vision in Ken Jacobs’ appropriations of Tom Tom the Piper’s Son” broadens up the media-archaeological framework in which Carels places his text. Notions such as Huhtamo’s topos and Zielinski’s “deep time” are brought into the discussion in order to point out the difficulty to see what there is to see and to question the position of the viewer in front of experimental films like Tom Tom the Piper’s Son and its remakes.
Der Film als modernes mobiles Medium lebt von Erfahrungen des Eigenen und Fremden. Zeigten die Reisefilme zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts bewusst die »wunderbare Differenz« zur eigenen Wirklichkeit, wurde in der heilen Welt der Heimatfilme nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs das Eigene für den Konsum verfügbar gemacht. Erst die Hollywood-Blockbuster verfolgten die Strategie, das kulturell Fremde so zu minimieren, dass daraus der für alle verständliche »Dialekt der Moderne« wurde.
La película de Ana de Daniel Díaz Torres (2012) trata en primer lugar del jineterismo en Cuba, fenómeno que ha determinado ampliamente el contacto entre extranjeros y cubanos desde la apertura al turismo en masas. En la película esto conlleva una reflexión de las relaciones visuales tanto en términos de género como en términos postcoloniales. Mediante la construcción de una película intradiegética ("la película de Ana") se cuestiona la diferencia entre "autenticidad" y puesta en escena y se sugiere, además, que Cuba entera se ha convertido en una especie de "zona de contacto", donde entran en contacto la lógica capitalista y la nostalgia postsoviética y donde lo "auténticamente" cubano aparece como un espectáculo montado para los extranjeros. Al mismo tiempo la película articula una autorreflexión en el sentido de que estas relaciones de poder se evidencian también en las posibilidades de hacer cine hoy en Cuba, que abarcan esencialmente la coproducción con diferentes países europeos.
Andrea Gremels entrevista a la Milena Rodríguez Gutiérrez, poeta cubana, crítica literaria y editora de la antología Otra Cuba secreta: antología de poetas cubanas del XIX y del XX (2011). Desde una perspectiva profesional y personal Rodríguez Gutiérrez, que vive en Granada, responde a las preguntas acerca de la diáspora cubana, del canon literario nacional y de las implicaciones del cambio para las escritoras y escritores dentro y fuera de la isla. Además, presenta a los lectores dos poemas suyos, ambos dedicados a Cuba: “Preguntas desde el otro lado de la cocina” y “Cuba”.
Understanding a sentence and integrating it into the discourse depends upon the identification of its focus, which, in spoken German, is marked by accentuation. In the case of written language, which lacks explicit cues to accent, readers have to draw on other kinds of information to determine the focus. We study the joint or interactive effects of two kinds of information that have no direct representation in print but have each been shown to be influential in the reader's text comprehension: (i) the (low-level) rhythmic-prosodic structure that is based on the distribution of lexically stressed syllables, and (ii) the (high-level) discourse context that is grounded in the memory of previous linguistic content. Systematically manipulating these factors, we examine the way readers resolve a syntactic ambiguity involving the scopally ambiguous focus operator auch (engl. “too”) in both oral (Experiment 1) and silent reading (Experiment 2). The results of both experiments attest that discourse context and local linguistic rhythm conspire to guide the syntactic and, concomitantly, the focus-structural analysis of ambiguous sentences. We argue that reading comprehension requires the (implicit) assignment of accents according to the focus structure and that, by establishing a prominence profile, the implicit prosodic rhythm directly affects accent assignment.
Anankastic relatives
(2016)
This dissertation investigates a semantic puzzle in German concerning certain sentences with an intensional transitive verb and a modalized relative clause modifying its indefinite object. In their unspecific reading, the modal inside the relative clause seems to lack a semantic contribution and the construal of the relative clause appears spuriously ambiguous between a restrictive and an appositive reading. However, as a thorough discussion of a wide range of data reveals, the embedded modal is actually anaphoric to the matrix attitude and does contribute to the sentence meaning. But then, precisely due to its anaphoricity, this semantic contribution is restricted and in some cases very subtle; in particular, the semantic phenomenon under scrutiny cannot be analyzed as an instance of modal concord. Rather, previous observations on related data involving epistmic anaphoric modals and anankastic conditionals turn out to indicate the direction for an adequate analysis of the relevant semantic observations. For the restrictive construal, a conservative account is developed containing a fine-grained Lewis-Kratzer-style modal semantics, but with a twist: the anaphoricity of the modal is taken care of by restricting the anaphoricity of the modal to the ordering source of the matrix verb; moreover, the embedded modal receives a historical modal base. In this way compositionality issues and problems of cross-identification are avoided. Finally, the non-restrictive construal is analyzed as an instance of modal subordination, exploiting the well-studied parallel between appositive relatives and discourse anaphora.
Überraschende neue Antworten auf die althergebrachte Frage nach dem »Eigenen« und »Fremden« geben die Romane des indischstämmigen Schriftstellers Moyez G. Vassanji, der in Kenia geboren wurde, seit Jahrzehnten in Kanada lebt und heute zu den bedeutendsten Autoren der ostafrikanischen Gegenwartsliteratur zählt. Seine Protagonisten verkörpern eine transregionale Verflechtungsgeschichte, die aus europäischer Perspektive kaum wahrgenommen wird, aber durchaus Impulse für aktuelle Debatten geben kann.
