"The Cycle of Poverty": Mexican-American Migrant Farmworkers Testify before Congress
In the early 20th century, large-scale commercial agriculture displaced family farms, tenant farmers, and sharecroppers. Hand labor, however, remained more cost effective for harvesting certain fruits and vegetables. Farmworkers under this new system were hired only for seasonal work and had to travel frequently. The migratory experience left these workers--primarily Mexicans, Mexican Americans, African Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Filipinos÷permanent outsiders and vulnerable to exploitation,
Comment pouvait-on être hitchcocko-hitchcockien ? Conférence de Serge Toubiana
Longtemps, "le maître du suspense" ne fut pas pris au sérieux, autant aux Etats-Unis qu'en France. Par quelles voies critiques son nom est-il devenu, au tournant des années 1950-1960, synonyme presque à lui seul du 7ème art et le cinéaste préféré de tant de cinéastes ?
Serge Toubiana est directeur de la Cinémathèque française.

Prior to 1970, the Federal Republic of Germany was the only major west European country with elected governments at a level between local municipalities and the central state (with the exception of Northern Ireland, an ‘exception which proved the rule’ for the UK); and even in Germany there had been some centralisation of power

Can innovation be incentivized? David Lynch : la double vie des personnages. Conférence de Diane Arnaud
Le cinéma de Lynch voit double en concevant ses personnages. D'un côté, le geste de l'artiste, modelant ses créatures et animant des figures, jusqu'à les transformer. De l'autre, le désir du metteur en scène de s'attacher au corps d'un acteur, de le rediriger vers un autre rôle, de changer son image. Miroitement incessant entre création et fiction qui reflète les troubles du sujet, d'Eraserhead à Inland Empire.
Diane Arnaud enseigne l'analyse et l'esthétiq STS-135 Flight Day 8 Interviews, Part 2 Alfred Hitchcock : pour une réévaluation de la période anglaise. Conférence de Marcos Uzal
Les partisans de "la politique des auteurs", qui firent d'Hitchcock un exemple, étaient à la fois hollywoodophiles et hostiles au cinéma anglais. Ce qui engendra une certaine minoration de la période anglaise du cinéaste. L'opposition entre les deux périodes s'avère aujourd'hui bien schématique et injuste, et les films anglais d'Hitchcock méritent d'être considérés autrement que comme d'intéressants tâtonnements : le génie y fait plus que sommeiller.
