This chapter concludes the volume with a concise coda that problematizes the genre and medium specificity of categories such as “rock” and “cinema,” and interrogates their relevance to understanding popular music stardom onscreen in the twenty-first century. By exploring several recent visual albums, this coda demonstrates how the history of rock stardom onscreen paved the way for the unification of the feature film and the music video on display in this unique form. Yet, at the same time, visual albums present musicians with renewed opportunity for overt political expression and aesthetic experimentation not seen since late 1960s rock movies. Visual albums are ultimately the latest intersection between the recording industry and moving image media—an intersection that, as this book demonstrates, has a rich and enduring history.

Ontological Position

This chapter introduces the historical importance of the image, provides a methodological framework for studying moving images, lays out the two major problems the book aims to overcome, describes the limitations of the book, and offers its plan of organization. As such, it redefines the image as fundamentally mobile and thus proposes to investigate all images as mobile images. It argues for a new materialist aesthetics distinct from representational and constructivist theories. That is, the image is not a copy nor a movement relative to an object or subject; it is not even a copy of a copy without an original. All these structures have to be accounted for, starting from the historical mobility of the image, and not from any metaphysical or ontological position. Therefore, the book is an attempt to develop a theory and a history of the logic and structure of the moving image.

LABURPENA: Egoera irregularreko etorkinak zaurgarritasun handiko egoeretan egoten dira, eta benetako aukera gutxi dute justiziaz eraginkorki baliatzeko. Horren ondorioz, auzitegietan gutxitan kontuan hartu dira haien aurka egindako giza eskubideen urraketak. Horregatik, garrantzitsua da jakitea Giza Eskubideetarako Inter-amerikar Auzitegiak Nadege Dorzema eta beste batzuk kasuan emandako epaiaren norainokoa eta zer-nolakoa, auzitegi horren auzietako jurisprudentzia-historiaren 25 urteetan gai hori aztertu duen bigarren kasua izan baita. Horiek horrela, artikulu honetan labur aztertzen da migratzaileekin zerikusia duen inter-amerikar jurisprudentzia, eta Nadege kasuan emandako epaiaren edukia oinarri hartuta, migrazio irregularraren azterketa Amerikako giza eskubideen auzitegian gaur egun zer egoeratan dagoen zehazten da. RESUMEN: Las personas migrantes en situación irregular suelen encontrarse en condiciones de alta vulnerabilidad y con pocas opciones reales para acceder de manera efectiva a la justicia. Ello ha generado que sean pocos los casos en los cuales los tribunales han conocido de violaciones de derechos humanos cometidas en contra de éstas. De ahí, la importancia de conocer el alcance y sentido de la sentencia de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos en el caso Nadege Dorzema y otros, al ser apenas el segundo caso en 25 años de historia jurisprudencial contenciosa de ese tribunal en el que se ocupa de dicho tema. Así las cosas, en este artículo se hace un breve repaso a la jurisprudencia interamericana relacionada con personas migrantes, para determinar a partir del contenido de la sentencia del caso Nadege, el estado actual que guarda el análisis de la migración irregular en el tribunal de derechos humanos de América. ABSTRACT: Irregular migrant persons usually find themselves in highly vulnerable conditions and with few real options to effectively gain access to justice. That has caused almost no cases where courts get to know human rights violations committed against them. That is why it is so important to know the scope and significance of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights judgment in case Nadege Dorzeman and others due to the fact that is only the second case in 25 years of contentious case law history of that court where it deals with such an issue. That being said, this article reviews the Inter-American case law related to migrant persons in order to establish according to the ruling in Nadege the current state regarding the analysis of irregular migration in the American court of Human Rights.

This collection of essays, drawn from a three-year AHRC research project, provides a detailed context for the history of early cinema in Scotland from its inception in 1896 till the arrival of sound in the early 1930s. It details the movement from travelling fairground shows to the establishment of permanent cinemas, and from variety and live entertainment to the dominance of the feature film. It addresses the promotion of cinema as a socially ‘useful’ entertainment, and, distinctively, it considers the early development of cinema in small towns as well as in larger cities. Using local newspapers and other archive sources, it details the evolution and the diversity of the social experience of cinema, both for picture goers and for cinema staff. In production, it examines the early attempts to establish a feature film production sector, with a detailed production history of Rob Roy (United Films, 1911), and it records the importance, both for exhibition and for social history, of ‘local topicals’. It considers the popularity of Scotland as an imaginary location for European and American films, drawing their popularity from the international audience for writers such as Walter Scott and J.M. Barrie and the ubiquity of Scottish popular song. The book concludes with a consideration of the arrival of sound in Scittish cinemas. As an afterpiece, it offers an annotated filmography of Scottish-themed feature films from 1896 to 1927, drawing evidence from synopses and reviews in contemporary trade journals.

The history of local government in South Africa dates back to a time during the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910. With regard to the status of local government, the Union of South Africa Act placed local government under the jurisdiction of the provinces. The status of local government was not changed by the formation of the Republic of South Africa in 1961 because local government was placed under the further jurisdiction of the provinces. Local government was enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa arguably for the first time in 1993. Under the interim Constitution local government was rendered autonomous and empowered to regulate its affairs. Local government was further enshrined in the final Constitution of 1996, which commenced on 4 February 1997. The Constitution refers to local government together with the national and provincial governments as spheres of government which are distinctive, interdependent and interrelated. This article discusses the autonomy of local government under the 1996 Constitution. This it does by analysing case law on the evolution of the status of local government. The discussion on the powers and functions of local government explains the scheme by which government powers are allocated, where the 1996 Constitution distributes powers to the different spheres of government. Finally, a conclusion is drawn on the legal status of local government within the new constitutional dispensation.

This study first approaches the history of the observer’s gaze, that is, as observers, we are forming or constructing our way of visualizing moving images. Secondly, it reaffirms the importance and need of resistance of the teaching / learning of Art as a compulsory curricular component for high school. Finally, the third part reports an experience with video art production in a class of first year high school students, establishing an interrelationship between theory and practice, that is, we study video art content to reach the production of videos, aiming as a final result, the art videos created by the students of the Reference Center in Environmental Education Forest School Prof. Eidorfe Moreira High School. The first and second stages of this research share a theoretical part of the Master ‘s thesis, Making films on the Island: audiovisual production as an escape line in Cotijuba, periphery of Belem, completed in 2013.

Cinema Expanded: Avant-Garde Film in the Age of Intermedia is a comprehensive historical survey of expanded cinema from the mid-1960s to the present. It offers an historical and theoretical revision of the concept of expanded cinema, placing it in the context of avant-garde/experimental film history rather than the history of new media, intermedia, or multimedia. The book argues that while expanded cinema has taken an incredible variety of forms (including moving image installation, multi-screen films, live cinematic performance, light shows, shadow plays, computer-generated images, video art, sculptural objects, and texts), it is nonetheless best understood as an ongoing meditation by filmmakers on the nature of cinema, specifically, and on its relationship to the other arts. Cinema Expanded also extends its historical and theoretical scope to avant-garde film culture more generally, placing expanded cinema in that context while also considering what it has to tell us about the moving image in the art world and new media environment.

This paper explores the viability of the doctrines of accession and specification as potential sources of a historical-legal basis for ownership rights accruing to labor by recognizing its unique capacity to create value. Focusing on examples from American case law, the origin and development of these doctrines are documented. The changes in these doctrines, from their first appearance in the early civil law or Code of Justinian to the present, often reflect the historic changes in the composition of products, the legal relationship between labor and capital and the changes in the dominant mode of production. The purpose of this inquiry is to determine if a legal rationale exists which justifies collective ownership of the means of production.
