Wandering around the ’70s
Informed by three interlocking texts—Nathalie Sarraute’s Tropisms, Agnès Varda’s 1985 Vagabond, and Lesley Stern’s Dead and Alive: The Body as Cinematic Thing—this essay attends to a series of scenes from US films of the 1970s. Visually oriented and guided by movement, these analytic descriptions develop together a context of feminist associations that in turn runs counter to the mastery of textual analysis that is so often implicitly aligned wit…
Columbo, Cassavetes, and a biography of friendship
Through intertextual analysis, this article focuses upon the concept of friendship – the affective and relation dimensions of which function as a type of biographical narrative capable of being discerned and derived from actors performing together. The case study for this examination is the close and longstanding friendship and working relationship between Peter Falk, John Cassavetes, and Ben Gazzara. Its intertext is composed of the television s…
The "Whatness" of Ms. Magazine and 1970s Feminist Film Criticism
This essay explores the breadth of feminist writing on film in Ms. magazine in the 1970s. It begins by analyzing and demonstrating the potential reading practices that this archive of writing invites and then turns to recurrent points of focus in the magazine regarding women's emerging attempts to author or authorize film production.

Senseless Eating
TV on the brain
This essay provides an examination of televisual representations of the process of perception. Focusing in part on MRI sequences in fictional dramas, which offer a visualization of the brain as the very organ of perception, this essay offers a subsequent analysis of an array of perceptual possibilities for the television viewer. In most medical dramas that show them, images of the brain are literally stilled and distilled through the MRI and filt…

This article draws on a range of approaches in Film and Media Studies — including phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and reception studies — as well as autobiographical experience, in order to ruminate on the functions and effects of eating at the movies. Looking at the connections between viewing and eating, the author argues that the materiality of the food we eat acts as a mediating or transitional object between our viewing bodies and the fleetin…

The miscellany of film history
The of film history – from scrapbooks to marginalia to cookbooks – may lead towards a more explicit understanding of the collaborative work that goes on between the historian and the subject of her analysis. Arguing that the miscellany is a kind of methodological model, The author argues that women's histories are inevitably dispersed across genres, forms, spaces. Drawing from these various forms and spaces, our scholarly work is based on miscell…
New York Shelf Life
This article considers four photographic series by New York artist Dirk Westphal. In each of these series, Westphal takes an ephemeral object (telephone booths, snack-cakes, mouthwash and small aquarium fish) and preserves it through a multimedia, multi-step process delivered via photography. His images and the labor to produce them trace and remake the intersection between the two essential components of capitalism: mass production and mass cons…
