El siguiente trabajo analiza las películas Monte criollo (1935) y Palermo (1937), de Arturo S. Mom como dos ejemplos de las primeras aproximaciones del cine argentino al género policial o crime film. En ese sentido, discutimos los modos en que estas películas trabajan, por un lado, con motivos del cine negro y de las películas de gangsters, es decir, los modelos del cine clásico hollywoodense y, por otro, cómo fusionan estas tradiciones con elementos propios de la cultura popular argentina contemporánea, los imaginarios del tango y del criollismo. A partir de esa fusión, algunos elementos que la tradición había colocado en el ámbito de la villanía son resignificados, tal como sucede con el dominio de la voz –que la tradición del gótico y del policial identificaban con el mal– que ahora, a partir de la heroicidad local del cantor de tangos, es ennoblecido. En este sentido, mostramos también de qué modo un crimen local concreto, el secuestro y asesinato de Eugenio Pereyra Iraola, modifica en el cine la representación de los criminales. A su vez, discutimos de qué modo estas películas reelaboran los arquetipos femeninos y masculinos de la época y proponen nuevos modelos de identidades genéricas.

Abstract Samuel Khachikian was the most successful director of crime films in Iran during the genre’s heyday in the late 1950s and early 60s. Debates among critics about his films highlight how the crime film was able to thrive as a prestige form in the years before boundaries had solidified between commercial films and intellectual films made in Iran. Film noir, from its earliest transatlantic imaginings to its recent global circuits, has consistently engaged with an imagined elsewhere through its modernist style. In many parts of the world, it allowed a kind of performance of exuberant cinephilia while also attracting attention about its originality. In Tehran, as elsewhere, the genre accompanies the global circulation of modern design with strong, but mixed, feelings.

Samuel Fuller’s Crimson Kimono (1959) is, like Odds against Tomorrow (1959), a paradigmatic late ‘50s American noir. Part policier, part melodrama, part “art” film, part “B” or exploitation picture, The Crimson Kimono deploys the sort of self-reflexive devices associated with Douglas Sirk’s ‘50s melodramas in order to “estrange” or “alienate” the dark crime film. For example, by portraying an interracial romance and commenting on the cliché of Oriental inscrutability, The Crimson Kimono foregrounds the black-and-white moral calculus of melodrama even as italicizes the racial difference, not to say racism, that has been a part, however occluded, of the history of “black film.” Equally importantly, by refiguring the film’s Asian-American police detective as the “hero” of the narrative who solves the case and “gets the girl,” Fuller’s film refashions one of the constitutive tropes of the genre, the “Shanghai gesture,” a trope that can itself be traced back to The Maltese Falcon (1941) and the origins of classic American film noir.

The Age of Affluence. Ike and Mamie. The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit. In the United States, the 1950s have been memorialized as the Pax Americana. A similar stereotypical view has characterized the 1950s crime film. While the big-shot gangster dominated the headlines in the 1930s and the private eye graced the 1940s, both the gangster picture and film noir were declared DOA in the 1950s. There is, of course, another, less than perfect picture of the ’50s in which the tropes associated with the decade are rather darker. Commies. Aliens from outer space. The bomb. I Died a Million Times argues that the crime film is alive and well in the 1950s in the generic guise of gangster noir. The corpus delicti is a trio of subgenres that crystallized in the period and that correlates with the above symptomatic events: the syndicate picture, the rogue cop film, and the heist movie. These subgenres and the issues associated with them--the “combo” as capitalism incarnate, the letter of the law versus the lure of vigilantism, and the heist as a “left-handed form of human endeavor”--may appear black and white in the rearview mirror of history, but from another perspective, one that’s attentive to issues such as race (The Phenix City Story), class (The Prowler), gender (The Big Heat), sexuality (The Big Combo), the nation (The Asphalt Jungle), and the border (Touch of Evil), these signal, not-so-generic films are as vibrant and colorful as the decade itself.

O estudo do casamento em Portugal possui notáveis analogias com as normas e os comportamentos sociais sobre a mesma instituição vigente no Brasil. Do ponto de vista legal, Igreja e Coroa se uniam na política comum de aumentar a população, observando regras destinadas a conservar o statu quo social, posto em risco, se os indivíduos passassem a fazer escolhas de parceiros, ao arrepio da tábua social de valores. Por meio da legislação, mas também de documentos provindos da cultura popular, é possível conhecer o processo que levava as pessoas a se unirem conjugalmente a outras, suas iguais, sob as bênçãos de Deus e do Rei, em terras lusitanas.
