Out of the abundance of recent science fiction works, there is an inherent connection between the films Blade Runner 2049 (Denis Villeneuve, 2017), Her (Spike Jonze, 2013), and Ex Machina (Alex Garland, 2014). They all have female non-human characters in the lead roles, who have to endure spatial restrictions. All three films star lonely men who find their emotional and romantic needs fulfilled in a relationship with these female AI, which they purchased and had programmed especially for them. This aspect of ownership points to an imbalanced power dynamic from the start of the relationship. I will explore why this has become a trend in late capitalist, dystopian, and science fiction genres, drawing parallels to current discussions about the abhorrent treatment many women endure and pointing to the over-sexualization of women in the media as a distributing factor to such treatment. I will utilize a variety of theories including the works of Laura Mulvey, Judith Butler, and Donna Haraway.

The article questions the problematic figuration of the corpse in the history of Spanish cinema and particularly in the genre of comedy. Starting with a verification of the centrality of death and its representations in Spanish culture, the author inquires into the ways in which corpses are present in our cinema and how the approach to this motif explains a particular attitude in terms of history and encodes a critical eye or an escapist attitude on the part of filmmakers and films. After tracing a genealogy of its representations, taking the bodies of the fallen in the Spanish Civil War as the first important corpses, the text creates a symptomatic history of the different forms of corpse representation in Spanish post-war cinema, focusing on the way in which the figure is shifted towards the field of comedy and its evolution, going from an evasive, depoliticized approach towards the territory of darkness and critical penetration. The author also points to the relevance of corpse representation in the cinema of the Transition, and its disappearance when democracy was consolidated. Finally, the representation of the corpse is established as a significant tool for confirming the critical load of Spanish cinema in relation to its history and its present

Cinema takes part in the tradition of rites for evoking the dead that are also rites of separation from their corpses. Once the image is formed, the corpse can be buried. Sometimes this image is a tombstone, others a death mask or a photo. Cinema provided a new possibility: filming or recording the corpse whileit was alive. In this way, photography and cinema were the two most powerful instruments of immortalization (embalming) of the 20th century. This articleinvestigates immanent and transcendent corpses in Argentinian history: Evita Perón, the desaparecidos (“missing people”) of the last military dictatorship, andPedro Eugenio Aramburu (the de facto ex-President who overthrew Perón in 1955 and was murdered by Montoneros’ guerrilla organization), among others. Based on the cinematographic representations which evoke these corpses (with varying degrees of accuracy), as well as the popular expressions that accompanied them (militant songs, colloquial expressions, etc.), this text explores the transformation of a corpse, as such, to its consecration as the image of the people.

Carolina Sourdis, Luis Ospina, C. Restrepo
In this conversation, Luis Ospina and Camilo Restrepo, two filmmakers who personify two periods in Colombian cinema and history, reflect on the presence of dead bodies in cinema and, particularly, of corpses as a filmic matter in their respective works and poetics. On the basis of a similar questionnaire carried out simultaneously with each filmmaker, the text brings together common and dissonant motifs to outline a possible generational arc of Colombian cinema in which the cinematographic representation of the corpse is presented as a historiographical and political motif in order to carry out an interpretation of cinema and history.

This article uses a comparative and hermeneutical analysis to explore the similarities and differences between the cinematographic work of Billy Wilder,in particular, Sunset Blvd. (1950), and David Lynch and the well-known television series Twin Peaks (David Lynch & Mark Frost, CBS, 1990-1991), as well as itswidely-expected continuation: Twin Peaks: The Return (David Lynch & Mark Frost, Showtime, 2017), paying special attention to the representation of the corpse both in narrative and historical terms. The hypothesis of the authors is that the figuration of the dead contains and symbolizes a specific model of representation at the same time as it anticipates the appearance of a new one. In conclusion, the body in suspension, located in the gap between life and death, functions as a hinge between the past and the future.

This text sets out to present the cinematic representation of Pier Paolo Pasolini and Aldo Moro from the idea of the “unburied corpse”. I propose here that, due to the circumstances of their deaths, the lifeless bodies of the filmmaker and the politician do not endorse their public identity but rather overflow and unfold it. Their corpses configured an identity of ordinary man that replaced the image of the public man in the Italian collective imagination and contended to the public character the space of representation. The text recovers some proposals of The Moro Affair (L’affaire Moro, Leonardo Sciascia, 1978) to reconstruct the links between these two protagonists of the intellectual and political life of the Years of Lead. I also analyze the way in which Italian cinema has attempted to interpret the split figures of Moro and Pasolini and their unburied corpses.
本文从“未埋葬的尸体”的概念出发,提出了Pier Paolo Pasolini和Aldo Moro的电影表现。我在这里提出,由于他们死亡的环境,电影制作人和政治家的无生命的身体不支持他们的公共身份,而是溢出和展开它。他们的尸体构成了一个普通人的身份,取代了意大利集体想象中的公众人物形象,并向公众人物争夺了再现的空间。本文恢复了《摩罗事件》(L 'affaire Moro, Leonardo Sciascia, 1978)的一些建议,以重建铅时代知识分子和政治生活中这两位主角之间的联系。我还分析了意大利电影试图解释莫罗和帕索里尼的分裂人物以及他们未被埋葬的尸体的方式。

This article attempts to set out and understand what art historian Aby Warburg called Pathosformel (pathos formulae), a key concept in his studies, though he never expressly offered a definition, nor explained what his understanding of it was. The emergence of the concept is traced in his work, deciphering its meaning and its implications for the analysis of images, also from the most significant and recent bibliography on the subject. Finally, the Pathosformel concept is applied to a contemporary photographic image which enables us to better understand its effect in the way it is received by its viewers, thus establishing a dialogue between the iconographic tradition of the past and the present.
