Abstract:Hollywood's war mobilization efforts in support of the Liberty Loan Bond Drives (1917–1918) were critical to shifting government officials' perceptions of the value of commercial cinema as a tool of propaganda and cultural policy during wartime. By tracing the industry's efforts in the bond drives, and the narrative production and distribution of the Liberty Loan propaganda films in particular, this article shows how the patriotic film star testimonial became an expedient ideological mechanism. The propaganda films reinforced perceptions held by some political elites of commercial film as lowbrow as they also signaled a new manner of effectively linking popular culture with state power to promote unified national identity during crisis.

Abstract:Remediation is a noted phenomenon in cinema studies. How it operates in African films has been less parsed. This article examines Abderrahmane Sissako's La vie sur Terre (1998) and Ousmane Sembène's Moolaadé (2004), two films with distinct approaches to the remediation of radio. I argue that postcolonial African media contexts, where national cinemas struggle (Nollywood excepted) and radio thrives, compel us to read remediation's tensions as locally rendered and politically charged. As these media interact on film they pose questions about visuality, sound, and broadcasting that fortify the film narratives and challenge media ideologies of the continent.
摘要:补救是电影研究中一个值得注意的现象。它是如何在非洲电影中运作的却很少被分析。本文考察了Abderrahmane Sissako的La vie sur Terre(1998)和Ousmane semb的moolaad(2004)，这两部电影采用了不同的方法来修复广播。我认为，后殖民时代的非洲媒体背景下，国家影院(诺莱坞除外)举步维艰，广播蓬勃发展，这迫使我们把补救措施的紧张局势解读为当地渲染的、带有政治色彩的紧张局势。当这些媒体在电影上互动时，它们提出了关于视觉、声音和广播的问题，这些问题强化了电影叙事，并挑战了非洲大陆的媒体意识形态。

Abstract:Spike Jonze's Her (2013) is a film about a romantic relationship between a man and an operating system. Using a Lacanian and Žižekian psychoanalytic framework, we interpret this film in the context of what the late cultural theorist Mark Fisher has called "capitalist realism." Referring to the Lacanian thesis that "there is no sexual relationship," we discuss the film's unique treatment of our enjoyment of digital technology and how it deals with the parallel deadlocks of the sexual relationship and the work relationship. We address these topics by looking at how Her deals with the sexual relationship, love, work, and fantasy. The premise of the film is original—suited to the zeitgeist of the digital present—and we claim that it reveals important insights about processes of subjectivization.
