Dear List, I am on a DIGEST function for the list, so excuse the delayed response. I note there were questions about subscribing. A real film scholar should subscribe to all of them and should read them as they come in. It should be one of the self-imposed obligations of a true devotee of the field. (Not one of the journals below costs more than a dinner at the local Red Lobster.) Journals for the field: 1. The Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and Television Editor: David Culbert of History, Louisiana State U [log in to unmask] This is the journal of IAMHIST, the international group which meets biennially and attracts the finest work in Europe and the US. Most members participate in other conferences as well. Publisher: CARFAX publishes this journal 2. The Literature/Film Quarterly [log in to unmask] Editor: Jim Welsh, Salisbury Univeristy (Maryland) This journal considers adaptations of literature to film, but also has space for major directors. The Shakespeare on Film issues have been terrific and immediately useful for teachers. Publisher: Dept. of English, Salisbury University 3. Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies Editor: Peter C. Rollins, Oklahoma State U [log in to unmask] Publisher: Ridgemont Press Started in 1970, this journal is aimed at historians, students of culture' and humanists--as well as film scholars. The 32 years of the journal are outlined on its web site: www.filmandhistory.org Focus is on impact of film on culture and how films reflect their times. Much interest in propaganda. Produces a CD-ROM each year with a treasure trove of articles, books, research documents. 4. The Journal of Popular Film and Televison Editors: Michael Marsden (Eastern Kentucky) and Gary Edgerton (Old Dominion), [log in to unmask] This colorful journal takes popular films seriously and has a wonderful publication record over the years. It was a real pioneer in its day and carries on that tradition Publisher: Heldref Publications 5. Post Script: Essays in the Humanities Editors: Gerald Duchovnay (Texas A&M-Commerce) and JP Telotte (Georgia Institute of Technology) Of all the journals listed here, this is the most handsome in appearance and is of equal quality in terms of content. I have before me the issue for Spring, 2000. Edited by Lynnea Chapman King, it focuses on "Generation X Films" and is a model for hip scholars. Publisher: Texas A&M There may be more journals out there ready to roll.... Peter Peter C. Rollins Editor-in-Chief _Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and TV Studies_ (Web site: www.filmandhistory.org) RR 3 Box 80 Cleveland, OK 74020 (918)243-7637 and fax 5995 [log in to unmask] Comments: Individual subscription information on the web site as well as information and FAQ's about the CD-ROMs. There are also discussion items and essays on Saving Private Ryan, Amistad, CNN's Cold War, and a host of other topics. The Table of Contents for the last thirty years is there as well. The last two issues dealt with The Cold War in Film and TV (Vols. 31.1 and 31.2). The next two move on to The Holocaust in Film, the subject of our recent AHA session in San Francisco in early January, 2002. Next conference is in November, 2002 on The American West(s) in Film, Television, and History at the Kansas City Marriott, Country Club Plaza--just a few blocks from the Nelson Art Gallery, a major institution and just next door to the Kansas City Arts Institute. We are looking for energetic people to serve as Area Chairs and will put a list of existing and available Area Chair topics on the web site this summer. www.filmandhistory.org Deadline for proposals is 15 August, 2002. Early proposals always get the most compatible panels, so do not wait until the 11th hour! Some years back, we produced a wonderful issue on the The American Frontier in Film and TV and we are going back to the well.
