Dasein - royby.com. What Heidegger Means by Being-in-the-World By Roy Hornsby Martin Heidegger’s main interest was to raise the issue of Being, that is, to make sense of our capacity to make sense of things. Additionally he wished to rekindle the notion that although difficult to understand, this issue was of utmost importance (Dreyfus 1991).
Heidegger’s study, however, was of a specific type of Being, the human being, referred to by Heidegger as ‘Dasein’, which literally means ‘Being-there’ (Solomon 1972). By using the expression Dasein, Heidegger called attention to the fact that a human being cannot be taken into account except as being an existent in the middle of a world amongst other things (Warnock 1970), that Dasein is ‘to be there’ and ‘there’ is the world. Heidegger was concerned that philosophy should be capable of telling us the meaning of Being, of the where and what Dasein is. For Heidegger, “Dasein is an entity which, in its very Being, comports itself understandingly towards that Being.” (UN)HIDDEN CAMERA: THE "REAL" SENDER OF THE TAPES. This is a “theory”/analysis I had proposed on IMDB and thought it may be more productive to (re)propose it here and further the discussion.
This so called theory is not a prerequisite needed to understand/appreciate the “message” of the film, it is more about revealing some of its “hidden” layers. The question of who made/sent the tapes in Haneke’s provocative ‘thriller’ Caché has produced endless debate and conjecture the world over, the following is a working through of sorts, an interpretation of the film in regards to the infamous tapes. Approximately 10 minutes into the film we see a night shot of George and Anne’s street and apartment, a car approaches from behind the camera filming the shot and causes a large shadow of the “hidden” camera to be revealed on the left hand side bush (this shadow goes unnoticed by many or is not identified by them as a camera shadow).
Caché itself was shot on ‘tape’, the film was shot in high-definition video. Objects of Voyeurism and Subjects of Agency: The Consumption and Production of Maenads in Greek Vase Painting | artgyle. In ancient Greece, “In order to achieve adult female status a woman has to become an object as much as a subject; she has to accept and embrace her objectification by the dominant discourses of her culture and internalize a construction of her identity.”[1] Maenads have often been discarded as flippant characters within Greek mythology, bearing little significance in iconography of ancient Greek vase painting.
Few have focused on their importance as individual characters within the narrative of the Dionysian cult. Furthermore, the role of voyeurism in both the depiction and consumption of maenadic figures has long gone unchecked. In order to fully understand the female citizen in ancient Greece, it is crucial to ask the question: In what ways are maenads depicted as agents and active figures and/or non-agents and passive figures? Why and how are these figures objectified? The word “maenad” has been translated to mean, “raving woman” and is often aligned with religious fanaticism.
Ers. The Subject As Object: Photography and the Human Body – Michelle Henning (2000) | Traces Of The Real. December 17, 2009 by Hugh After finding aspects of Stuart Hall’s text difficult to grasp in parts I turned to a chapter from Photography: A Critical Introduction (edited by Liz Wells) to try and get a better handle on the relevance of psyschoanalytic theory to photography criticism. It explains Freud’s take on voyeurism and fetishism clearly and concisely.
Representations of the human body have become a central part of photographic practice and consequent critical discussion since the 1980s. Numerous issues have driven this – body politics, feminist challenges to the representation of the female body, the AIDS crisis, censorship struggles and the foregrounding of issues around gender and sexuality. Henning’s piece discusses how the human body is represented photographically, both in a historical and a contemporary context. She commences with a description of some historical attemps to use photography to read the human body. Another central Freudian idea is that of fetishism. Like this: Voyeurism. Voyeurism is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other actions usually considered to be of a private nature.[1] The principal characteristic of voyeurism is that the voyeur does not normally relate directly with the subject of his/her interest, who is often unaware of being observed.
Voyeurism may involve the making of a secret photograph or video of the subject during an intimate activity. When the interest in a particular subject is obsessive, the behavior may be described as stalking. The term comes from the French voyeur, "one who looks". A male voyeur is commonly labeled "Peeping Tom", a term which originates from the Lady Godiva legend. However, that term is usually applied to a male who observes somebody through her window, and not in a public place.

A film critic emailed me about Caché (yes, I was so perplexed that after writing this post about the ending I also emailed one of my favorite critics, and he actually emailed me back). After seeing Hidden at a public screening at the Toronto Film Festival, a sample size of friends and colleagues revealed that about 2/3rds of the people who saw it completely missed the crucial piece of visual information at the end while the other third was still puzzling out what it meant...
Before speculating on the significance of it all, let's fill in the blanks first:In the final shot, two characters who never shared screen space come together for what appears to be a genial conversation: Autueil and Binoche's son Pierrot and Majid's son. If memory serves, Pierrot exits the school from the left side, curls round a crowd of other classmates, and meets Majid's son in the left part of the frame.
Believe it or not, they spend a pretty decent amount of time together. UPDATE (March 11th): Watch Cache online - download Cache. Hidden (Caché) Fear and loathing: Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche in Cach A stiletto-stab of fear is what Michael Haneke's icily brilliant new film delivers - not scary-movie pseudo-fear, but real fear: intimately horrible, scalp-prickling fear. It is a stalker-nightmare with a shiver of the uncanny and a double-meaning in the title: hidden cameras and hidden guilt. A famous Parisian TV presenter receives menacing, mysterious "surveillance videos" at his home, showing scenes from his private life. How on earth has the stalker filmed these?
There is no dramatic musical score, none of the traditional shocks or excitements, just an IV-drip-drip-drip of disquiet leading finally to a convulsion of horror. Hidden (Caché) Production year: 2005 Country: Rest of the world Cert (UK): 15 Runtime: 117 mins Directors: Michael Haneke, Pål Øie Cast: Annie Girardot, Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche, Maurice Benichou More on this film The performances by Auteuil and Binoche as Georges and Anne are superb.
