O presente texto sintetiza o resultado de uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, iconográfico e filmográfico desenvolvida no Doutorado em Comunicação e Linguagens da Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná, por este autor, cuja tese foi defendida e aprovada em março de 2018. Como a tecnologia tem sido considerada acessória e não essencial nos estudos de cinema, este artigo busca destacá-la, considerando que ocinema nasce e se desenvolve através de avanços tecnológicos. São as relações entre linguagens e tecnologias que fundamentam essa atividade. Ora a tecnologia induz a novas linguagens, ora a busca de uma nova linguagem sugere uma nova tecnologia. Ao aprofundar o entendimento dessa relação narealizaçãocinematográfica, tendo como corpus o filme Gravidade (Alfonso Cuarón, 2013), desenvolvium conceito para a abordagem da tecnologia no campo audiovisual: a ideia deMISE-EN-TECHNOLOGIE, conceito que me parece necessário para a contemporaneidade do fazer e do pensar cinema.Palavras-chave: Cinema. Tecnologia. Linguagem. Animação. Computação Gráfica.

In a situation where most of the academic buildings are less than three-quarters of a mile from the museum building, classes can be held at the gallery whenever it is convenient for the course. The rich collections provide an exceptional opportunity for the use of original works of art in academic courses. In effect, we can make use of the museum as if it were part of the university. Advantageous as this might be, there are, of course, some serious problems associated with the effective use of museum collections in art history courses. A given course, for example the “Northern Renaissance,” ranges far beyond the possessions of any one museum; and the usual procedure of emphasizing established masters and masterpieces normally excludes a great deal of what this museum (or any other) happens to possess. And even where the holdings ...

The two recent articles on ornament and the public taste for it, “In Defense of Ornament” by G. Haydn Huntley (C.A.J., VI, 1) and “Modern Design Does Not Need Ornament” by Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. (C.A.J., VI, 2) fail to take proper account of the nature of ornament and certain various factors involved in public tastes and methods of changing it. Mr. Kaufmann's title “Modern Design Does Not Need Ornament” may be true but humans do need it and will continue to demand it.
