Historicity and the Original in Avant-garde European Cinema in the 20’s
Keywords:
Avantgarde cinema, 20’s, original, time, BenjaminAbstract
This paper analyzes the role of originality and historicity in the 20’s European Avant-garde Cinema configuration. First of all, we do a state-of-the-art knowledge, then we study nearly 300 films from Germany, France and the Soviet Union produced during the Interwar period and, later, some categories of time subversion are created. These categories sum up the time subversion diversity exerted by Avant-garde film against the enlightened time conception. Time is a core point to Avant-garde and its study plus the study of Avant-garde historical development let us know that, finally, originality and historicity are inseparable one from the other in order to understand the complex and elusiveness conceptualization of 20’s Avant-Garde Cinema.
