The division James Schamus identifies between two camps working in pop culture studies is discussed intelligently in communication studies. In fact, the model is much more complicated than we might be aware of if we focus exclusively on film studies. Andrea Press has an interesting article in the Communication Yearbook of a year or 3 ago. (Sorry, I'm in the midst of packing, and can't track down the reference.) Her bib is a good source for following the discussion. What's particularly good about her article and a few of the pieces she highlights is the attempt to bridge any sort of binary opposition that keeps us from moving past impasses. (I do hope Gloria reads that last sentence twice before she once again lumps me in with a bunch of dwems and canonists.) Glad to see this discussion back on a professional track, more befitting our status as film scholars. Harriet
