Perspectives on Jean Vigos' A Propos de Nice Yoon, Hak-ro (Kangwon National University) This paper takes an indepth look into the city documentary of Jean Vigo titled A Propos de Nice, utilizing arguments put forward by Walter Ruttmann and Dziga Vertov in what may be summarized as films of ‘City Symphony’. The paper takes a careful examination of Metropolitans of 1920's. 1920's was an era of experiments in films and the films in the genre titled City Symphony was at the forefront, it became the vehicle in understanding the soul and charm of a city. To access the very essence which made up the city, Ruttmann tried to formulate his ideas on formal aesthetics. In contrast Vertov wanted to explore and document the city from a rather satirical viewpoint by exploring carnivals and recreation centers of a city. The two perspective resulted in two quite different images of a city. Vertov in a denotative perspective is close to Ruttmann while in a connotative perspective he is more aligned towards Vigo. The city image suggested and documented by Vertov seems solid and fluid at the same time. When one utilize closeup and long shots the captured image of a city denotes a solidified image. On the contrast, through editing as the sequences bcome faster the images takes on the image of fluidity. Jean Vigo's film A Propos de Nice is as mentionned a documentary film of social viewpoint of a city. The film of Vigo can be summarized as "primal love for the surface of things, its uncanny ability to capture life as it is"(Bill Nichols: 2002), showing the difference from Ruttmann in that he wanted to capture and document the surface not to mention deconstruct the outer image. Vigo while documenting various images that is at the core of soul of city symphony does not forget to document the upcoming death of the bourgeois and the city elements. His films show an influence of his father who supported anarchy, and tries to convey to the public the ‘last breath’ of the city as we know it and prophesies the coming of new society where workers will be the owners of the city.

소개
국제언어인문학회는 '언어를 통한 인문학 연구'의 필요성에 동감하는 여러 전공분야 학자들의 뜻을 담고 있습니다. 언어에 초점을 맞추는 것은, 다양한 전공분야의 참여에서 생겨날 수 있는 '이질적 집합'의 상황을 극복하기 위한 장치입니다. 현재로서는 작은 불씨를 지핀 것에 불과합니다. 그러나 이렇게 일구어진 불꽃이 새로운 학풍의 바람결에 커다란 섬광으로 빛나게 될 날이 올 것을 우리는 확신합니다. 우리의 학회와 학술지는 인문학 불변의 가치와 시대적 사명을 인식하는 국내외의 학자들을 향해 활짝 개방되어 있습니다. 특정 전공의 범위를 넘어서서 철학, 문학, 언어학, 종교, 역사, 문화, 예술 등의 시각에서 언어의 본질을 토론할 기회가 될 것입니다.
