Frida Kalho: the look of cinema by Scotto Di Vettimo, Delphine

“…It recounts the tumultuous life of the artist since his young student life,his accident and his passionate relationship with the muralist Diego Rivera.Numerous references to Frida Kahlo’s paintings are included in the scenography and recall the richness and complexity of her work: more than onehundred and forty paintings, of which fifty are self-portraits, which come in different themes: politics, Mexicanism, love, nature, suffering, femininity or even death.It is from the analysis of a particular scene [which galvanizes the radicality of the abortion test and offers a framework for the expression of the temporality specific to this event, which I qualify as traumatic] that this article, which stands at the crossroads of cinema and psychoanalysis, explains adecisive stage in the creative process in Frida Kahlo.Here, the examination of the dialectic between creative process and trauma, allows us to grasp, in the nascent state, the implementation of modes ofpictorial creation which sign a new temporality in his pictorial art.Beyond that, the challenge of the biopic is to succeed on the one hand in weaving, modeling, staging and images the life of this extraordinary artist;and on the other hand to allow the spectator to discover the entanglement between the creative subjectivity of the artist and his work.…”

Pain in memory: memory, politics and aesthetics in the feature film Hannah Arendt (2012), by Margarethe von Trotta by García Martín, Francisco David

“…Her courage to study the Jewish Holocaust in a straight way, and to try to understand how the death of so many millions of people could be undertake in a mechanical and organized way reflects the capacity of this thinker not only to approach the other, the different, but to try to maintain a memory of the past that serves as a framework of understanding to replace, facing the present, the confrontation between enemies by a dialectic between adversaries. In this paper, we will try to present how Arendt’s work interrelates with her aesthetics, through the analysis of memory and otherness. …”

Authoritarianism and whiteness: contemporary ultra-rights in the West by Orozco, Ricardo

“…In expository terms, it is important to point out that the text is composed of a permanent dialogue between two levels of analysis (not only because of the nature of the problem itself, but also due to the necessary recognition of the dialectical link between both levels). Namely, the strictly analytical-philosophical one, in which the elementary ideological contents that nourished the old rightists and distinguish the new ones from them are exposed; and the historical-political one, in charge of historically situating (historicizing) both phenomena (the old rightists and the new ones) not only as ideological projects, but also as differentiated political programs. …”
