Cinema, Film, TV, Drama | | English term or phrase: Lobsterism | Per Jack Smith "lobsterism" e "landlordism" sono sinonimi di "exploitation", ma qualcuno sa se il termine "lobsterism" è stato già tradotto in Italia? Sembra che il termine derivi dal fatto che Jack Smith chiamasse Jonas Mekas "Lobster"...
An obsessional man in an obsessive age, Jack Smith divided his hallucinatory dazzling mind between Maria Montez, ***Landlordism-Lobsterism***, and teeth. Needless to say, the three subjects were inextricably related; one could equate them to the trio sexuality- social engagement- institutional critic. |

| | parissitismo predatorio | Explanation:
interesting question! da quello che ho visto online non sembra che sia stato coniato un equivalente in italiano, anche perche' l'uso che ne fa Smith e' molto personale. se, come affermano nei link, sta per 'scavenger', l'uso comune suggerirebbe 'jackal' o 'hyena', non 'lobster'. bello comunque
1. "Smith deeply resented Mekas for taking his film "with the position of defending it and yet essentially kicking it to death." Smith began calling Mekas names and Lobster was one of them. Lobsterism became a symbol for the exploitation, capitalism, being a scavenger, or taking everything for yourself. The lobster symbol apparently pops up alot in Smith's works."
2."Ultimately, Mekas was called a “lobster” by Smith, symbolizing a scavenger who takes what he needs to profit off a situation." |
