Subject: Re: Paris 1968
 
Dear Screen-L Subscribers,
 
OK, I'll be the goat.  Am I the only person who is following this thread with a
sense of despair?  Or am I the only person willing to write in and _admit_ to a
feeling of despair?  Here's the way I see it.  First, a subscriber uses the
phrase "Paris in 1968" to discredit the hermeneutics of suspicion that
generates most of film scholarhsip today.  Then, instead of watching film
scholars weigh in with defenses of the intellectual revolutions born in the
`60s, I have been reading naive questions about what happened in Paris in the
1960s.  I'm hoping that most of these questions were ironic.  If not, then
there really is cause for despair.  What's happened to Screen-L?
 
Respectfully submitted,
 
        Krin Gabbard
