State University of New York at Stony Brook Stony Brook, NY 11794 Krin Gabbard Chair Comparative Studies 516 632-7460 23-Jul-1997 11:39pm EDT FROM: KGABBARD TO: Remote Addressee ( [log in to unmask] ) 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?
