After Capitalism: Horizons of Finance, Culture, and Citizenship
From Thomas Piketty to David Harvey, scholars are increasingly questioning whether we are entering into a post-capitalist era. If so, does this new epoch signal the failure of capitalism and emergence of alternative systems? Or does it mark the ultimate triumph of capitalism as it evolves into an unstoppable entity that takes new forms as it engulfs its opposition? After Capitalism brings together leading scholars from across the academy to offer…
The Routledge Companion to Cinema & Gender
Critical explorations of the relationship between Islam, cinema, and women contribute to academic debates around difference. This connection may be approached from different perspectives. One may think about the concept of representation in examining this topic: how are women represented in films produced in countries where Islam is the dominant religion? How do Islamic films represent women? Or, how do filmmakers who define themselves as Muslim …

Reflections on Feminist Film Studies, Early and Late
Nazi Cinema at the Intersection of the Classical and the Popular
The past two years have seen a great deal of scholarly activity and interest in the cinema of the Third Reich, especially in the United States and Britain. In 1996, not one but two scholarly books on Nazi Cinema were published in the United States: Eric Rentschler's The Ministry of Illusion: Nazi Cinema and its Afterlife and Linda Schulte-Sasse's Entertaining the Third Reich: Illusions of Wholeness in Nazi Cinema.1 Essays on individual films as w…

Kracauer's Epistemological Shift
It has often been remarked that, until fairly recently, Kracauer's reputation in film theory rested upon the two books he wrote in English: Prom Caligari to tHitler (1947) and Theory of Film (1960).' These two books, which established Kracauer as a major, if fundamentally flawed, thinker on film, have frequently been compared to the essays and more aphoristic writings of the French film theorist Andre Bazin, who shared Kracauer's concern for an a…

Mass Culture and the Feminine: The "Place" of Television in Film Studies
in Film Studies. The question of television's place in studies was nevertheless soon displaced by an intense debate over the proper object for scholarly attention, a debate which encouraged some conference participants to voice their fears about the precarious status of within the academy and to express their anxieties over television's potential threat to that status. To begin with, some conference participants feared that once television was in…
Patrice Petro and Carol Flinn on Feminist Film Theory
We write this in the hope of stimulating further debate over Dallas and female spectatorship, and to respond in particular to E. Ann Kaplan's recent reply to Linda Williams's essay, Something Else Besides a Mother: Dallas and the Maternal Melodrama (Cinema Journal 24, no. 1 [Fall 1984]). We believe both Kaplan's and Williams's essays provide useful insights into questions of female spectatorship. Nevertheless, we feel that Williams's essay, with …
