i have recently, quite by accident, come upon a book previously totally unknown to me, MOVING PICTURES: A NEW THEORY OF FILM GENRES, FEELINGS, AND COGNITION by torben grodal, of the university of copenhagen . . . the book is patently very ambitious [the title alone is enough to show that] and ? at first quick glance ? seems impressively thorough . . . so it's very surprising to me that the author's name is so unfamiliar, not only to me but to the few other cinema studies people i've informally polled i'm wondering whether his work is known to others reading this, and whether there has been any previous discussion of it in this listserv [or elsewhere] . . . all leads would be most welcome thanks mike ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
