Corps sensible, environnement urbain moderniste by Françoise Michel-Jones

“…From the point of view of an anthropology of vision, this article explores the relationship between sensing body and urban environment, particularly the perceptive and cognitive changes that occurred in the West of the 1960s, as fascinatingly depicted by Jacques Tati in a film—Playtime—that became a cinema classic.A master of filmed description and analysis of the typical social gestures and behaviours of the urban middle classes, Jacques Tati offers a film intended as “audio-visual” film “material”, rather than a filmed account of a story centred on a subject. …”

‘Appelsinpiken’ and experiential tourism. Andalusia, ‘geography with a thrill’ by Maria del Carmen Puche Ruiz

“…In keeping with the canons of Romanticism and the premises of ‘experiential tourism’, Seville’s colourful appearance in the film is limited to promoting the city as a tourism destination that is utterly stuck in the past : an audiovisual appeal to the tourist ego via the emotional vision of the phenomenon of a journey.For this analysis, a qualitative study is conducted of both Andalusia’s importance as a destination for the Norwegian tourism market and the contrast between the two images of Seville, so far apart in time, described by two Nordic writers-tourists, (Andersen and Gaarder), along with the reactions to the shooting and première of ‘Appelsinpiken’. …”

Ocular Surface Development and Gene Expression by Shivalingappa K. Swamynathan

“…The ocular surface—a continuous epithelial surface with regional specializations including the surface and glandular epithelia of the cornea, conjunctiva, and lacrimal and meibomian glands connected by the overlying tear film—plays a central role in vision. Molecular and cellular events involved in embryonic development, postnatal maturation, and maintenance of the ocular surface are precisely regulated at the level of gene expression by a well-coordinated network of transcription factors. …”

Tess of the d’Urbervilles du roman à l’écran : les ambiguïtés du point de vue by Isabelle Gadoin

“…Hardy’s late fiction can definitely be labelled as « modern » in that it both encourages and defeats narrative illusion, particularly in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, which wavers between fleeting moments of identification with the heroine’s point of view (thanks to internal focalisation) and narratorial corrections of these subjective « moments of vision », to take up the title of later poems. This article tries to study some of the means of rendering this ambiguity on the screen, by various processes of « subjective images », but also points the limits of such adaptations : what the film seems to erase is the double-bind subtly created in the novel by the split between focalisation and narrative intervention. …”

EVOLUTION OF THE CONCEPT OF «WHITE MAN'S BURDEN» IN THE BRITISH CINEMA OF 20TH CENTURY by E. E. Ibrayev

“…The means of research were British feature films 1930-1980-ies. Using the author's methods of analysis of the ideological content of tapes and the context of their stories, it became clear that the idea of the "burden of the white" changed not only under the influence of the current socio-political situation in the metropolis and in the world, but also to a large extent transformed under the influence of highly artistic works of British directors each of which sought to bring to the story of the "civilizing mission" own view and vision to such a feature of the existence of the British Empire. …”
