University of Southern California's Critical Studies Division announces
their new website,
SPECTATOR ON-LINE
We are currently accepting submissions for the first version and the call
is available through the website:
http://acc02.annenberg.edu/spectator.html
The website maintains the scholarly standards of the print journal while
integrating audio-visual representation with writing. Interactive essays
with audio-visual illustration and hypertextual links allow authors to
exemplify critical and theoretical observation of media phenomenon in ways
impossible with text alone. Suggested topics for interactive essays
include Exhibition Space and Public Space, but we welcome proposals on
other media concerns as well.
To submit a website proposal, send a description or layout for a website,
including suggestions for use of audio-visual media, hypertext links,
and visual design elements with respect to the scholarly content.
Send materials to:
Karen Orr Vered/Spectator
School of Cinema-Television
Division of Critical Studies
University of Southern California
Los Angeles, CA USA 90089-2211

SIZE MATTERS: The Film Screen in Public and Private Exhibition
Deadline: January 5, 1998
While revisionist writing on film exhibition has significantly
incorporated an industrial economic paradigm, these studies
do not always account for the wider context of film exhibition that
exists outside the average commercial theater. With new
developments in cultural studies and reception theory as well as current
theories on popular geographies, virtual spaces
and new technologies, the scope of exhibition studies can be reconfigured
along original and more comprehensive lines.
This issue will re-examine the history as well as the future of
exhibition within two distinct, yet interrelated spaces: the
public and the private (or domestic) exhibition sphere.
Possible essay topics include:
Public Exhibition Spaces: the drive-in * big screen and technological
experimentation * the revival, repertory house * the
film society * the film festival * museum or archive exhibition *
avant-garde, political activist exhibition and independent
outlets * the sports venue, the concert venue * the theme park, public
fair, expo * pedagogical and propaganda films
Private Exhibition Spaces: home theater systems * home movies, home video
* film on cable TV * film on publicTV *
film on network TV * film on CD ROM, DVD, etc. * film on the Internet
Please submit a 12-25 page, double spaced manuscript in Chicago endnote
style to:
