In Hollywood Flatlands, finished chapter 3.
Notes:
Page 97, discussed caricature as art, the discussed Mickey Mouse as caricature.
Page 103: "Fetishized 'collective consciousness' ... specifically dreams about technological and social utopias, is cracked open and grasped only by the proletariat with its distinct relationship to technology and techniques"
Page 106: Benjamin: "Those who are awake share the world, while those asleep each possess a world for themselves".
Page 108, "Despite (Trotsky's) suspicion that photography was a non-dialectical form, a form that stripped things from their interrelationship".
Page 112, Benjamin: "What film needs is a tendency".
Page 114, Disney distribution with the Nazis and changes to the credits.
Page 117, "(Adorno) cautioned Benjamin against using concepts like the collective dream or collective unconscious, which he perceived to be derived from the irrationalist, and fascist-tinged, world of Carl Jung".
Page 118, "Adorno distrusts the laughter of the funnies' audience, finding in it elements of the worst sadism and brutalism."
Page 120, Benjamin removes Mickey Mouse from his 3rd edition of book.
Page 122, re: the evolution of animation into features such as Snow White, "If the narrative drama was a pathetic outcome for filmic possibility, then the drawn version of the same was an even more ridiculous concoction."
