The comprehensive theoretical book, traces the evolution of Swiss experimental film addressing the relationships between contemporary art and underground movies, formal and amateur films, video, expanded cinema, and performances, national scene and international influences, with a special focus on how art schools and festivals were decisive for its development.
An attempt to offer an overview of the development of Swiss experimental film practices, it includes essays, among other key protagonists and spaces of diffusion, on Robert Beavers and Gregory Markopoulos, Peter Liechti, Hans Helmut Klaus Schoenherr, Clemens Klopfenstein, the role of cinema at the Kunstalle Bern during Harald Szeemann’s curatorship, Annette Michelson, Tony Morgan, and Kurt Blum.
This pdf is a shortened version of the book Minor Cinema: Experimental Film in Switzerland published by JRP|Editions in 2020. It contains the texts originally written in German and translated for the English edition.

With essays by Renate Buschmann, Gabriel Flückiger, Michael Hiltbrunner, Ute Holl, Simon Koenig, Thilo Koenig, Vrääth Ohner, Thomas Schärer, Fred Truniger.
The publication was preceded by the research project «Swiss Film Experiments 1950-1988», which was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the following exhibition «Film Implosion! Experiments in Swiss Cinema and Moving Image» at FriArt, Kunsthalle Fribourg and the Museum für Gestaltung in Zürich.
The comprehensive theoretical book, traces the evolution of Swiss experimental film addressing the relationships between contemporary art and underground movies, formal and amateur films, video, expanded cinema, and performances, national scene and international influences, with a special focus on how art schools and festivals were decisive for its development.
By deciphering the fragility and ramifications of historical genealogies and challenging them by modern and scientific approaches, the book proposes an active archeology of Swiss experimental cinema, making visible the main characteristics of its specific history – a history which developed in parallel to the international evolution of marginal cinema, albeit fragmentary, often delayed, and with powerful personal, institutional, and geographic idiosyncrasies. Taking those as methodological starting points for their reflection, the editors describe Swiss experimental film as “minor cinema,” quoting American scholar Branden W. Joseph.

Antonin Artauds Werk rührt an den Grenzen von Dasein und Kunst. Wie ein Gespenst sucht uns bei Artaud das Andere auf, das Jenseitige, das Unfassliche. In der Konfrontation mit dem Unheimlichen spannt sich in seinem verunsichernden Potential ein produktiver Denkraum auf, mit dem das Theaterprojekt Attention Artaud spielt. Ergänzend dazu diskutieren in subTexte 01 Elisabeth Bronfen, Stephan Müller, Gerald Siegmund und Benno Wirz die Thematik des Gespenstes als Phänomen von abendländischer Kunst und Kultur.

![Acoustics of the Vowel. Preliminaries | Dieter Maurer [E-Book PDF]](https://publikationen.zhdk.ch/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/medium-2-324x486.jpg)
It seems as if the fundamentals of how we produce vowels and how they are acoustically represented have been clarified: we phonate and articulate. Using our vocal chords, we produce a vocal sound or noise which is then shaped into a specific vowel sound by the resonances of the pharyngeal, oral, and nasal cavities, that is, the vocal tract. Accordingly, the acoustic description of vowels relates to vowelspecific patterns of relative energy maxima in the sound spectra, known as patterns of formants. The intellectual and empirical reasoning presented in this treatise, however, gives rise to scepticism with respect to this understanding of the sound of the vowel. The reflections and materials presented provide reason to argue that, up to now, a comprehensible theory of the acoustics of the voice and of voiced speech sounds is lacking, and consequently, no satisfying understanding of vowels as an achievement and particular formal accomplishment of the voice exists. Thus, the question of the acoustics of the vowel – and with it the question of the acoustics of the voice itself – proves to be an unresolved fundamental problem.
