"Inquiries, Speculations, Provocations," a special double issue of Film History (Volume 25, No. 1-2) is the first issue edited by Gregory A. Waller at the journal's new home at Indiana University, Bloomington. Waller, IU professor of film and media studies, succeeds Richard Koszarski as editor-in-chief.
The journal, published by Indiana University Press for the past decade, is now housed in IU's Film and Media Studies Program in the Department of Communication and Culture in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Rather than being asked to take stock of the discipline or predict its future, the more than 20 contributors to the issue were asked to examine a research question, weigh in on a historiographical issue, or explore the implications of a particular piece of evidence. The result is a rich array of finely tuned micro-analyses and pointedly provocative interventions.
"Inquiries, Speculations, Provocations" underscores Film History's commitment to publishing original research across the full range of international film history, from the production, distribution, exhibition and reception of moving pictures to the technological, economic, political and legal aspects of film and the role of cinema as a contested cultural phenomenon.
Film History Volume 25, No. 1-2, is available online at JSTOR and Project MUSE:
JSTOR: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2979/filmhistory.25.issue-1-2
Project MUSE: http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/film_history/
The editorial team encourages new queries and submissions for original research on the international history of cinema, from pre-cinema to the 21st century, broadly and inclusively understood. Areas of interest include the production, distribution, exhibition, and reception of films designed for commercial theaters, as well as the full range of non-theatrical, non-commercial uses of motion pictures; the role of cinema as a contested cultural phenomena; the technological, economic, political, and legal aspects of film history; the circulation of film within and across national borders; and the relations between film and other visual media and forms of commercial entertainment. Film History also welcomes proposals for review essays and reassessments of classic texts in film history.
