Noir fatale (49 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The silky note of a saxophone.  The echoes of a woman?s high heels down a deserted asphalt street.  Steam rising from city vents to cloud the street-lit air.  A man with a gun.  A dame with a problem? NOIR.  From the pulpy pages of Black Mask Magazine in the 1920s and 30s, through the film noir era of the 1940s, to today, noir fiction has lured many a reader and movie-goer away from the light and into the dark underbelly of society. Names such as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain; titles like The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, The Postman Always Rings Twice? these have inhabited our collective consciousness for decades. Humanity, it seems, loves the dark.  And within the dark, one figure stands out: that of the femme fatale. Here then, Noir Fatale an anthology containing the full spectrum of noir fiction, each incorporating the compelling femme fatale character archetype. From straightforward hardboiled detective story to dark urban fantasy to the dirty secrets of futuristic science fiction?all with a hard, gritty feel.   As Raymond Chandler said, ?Down these mean streets, a man must walk who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid.? Because, as these stories prove, doing the right thing doesn?t necessarily mean you get the big bucks or the girl. But you do the right thing anyway.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper de l'année 2018 dans le domaine Etudes des langues romanes - Français, note: 1,3, Université Laval, langue: français, résumé: Dans le cadre du séminaire ' Cinéma et Sexualité ', le présent travail se concentre sur le film noir réalisés aux Etats-Unis à partir des années 1940 et traite en particulier de la représentation des femmes. Comment la femme est-elle perçue par les autres personnages du film, comment le spectateur la voit-il Est-elle dominante dans son rôle par rapport à ses semblables masculins ou doit-elle être considérée elle-même comme une victime Après une brève introduction au film noir, à ses caractéristiques et un examen de sa genèse, les phénomènes de la femme fatale seront ensuite examinés plus en détail. A l'aide des films américains The postman always rings twice (1946) et Pitfall (1948), une analyse est ensuite réalisée dans la partie principale de l'ouvrage, dont l'objectif est de répondre à la question ci-dessus. Comment les deux femmes Cora et Mona sont-elles représentées et quelles sont les particularités de leur domination et de leur soumission.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 2,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (IEAS), language: English, abstract: This analysis argues that femmes fatales, just like many mythological women, are crucially misunderstood. Although these characters are often demonized in popular narratives, many of them represent victimized women who are demonized for challenging the oppressive environments that they suffer from. Their instrumentalized assets of gender and sexuality are their societal capital which either determines their worth in a man's world or is the characteristic which they are demonized for. With the aforementioned examination of the undefinable femme fatale in mind, it will be argued that established cultural conceptions of Eve, Delilah, Salomé, Medusa, and the Sirens produce a demonized image of women which consolidates Film Noir's trope of the femme fatale. For this analysis, it will be assessed how preconceived convictions that manifest themselves in established interpretations of mythology manipulate the perceptions of the female protagonists in Charles Vidor's Gilda (1946) and Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard (1950). …
