[Commlist] Publication – Alphaville 20: Doing Women’s Film & Television History

Wed Jan 27 19:52:45 GMT 2021





It is with a cheer of celebration that we write to announce publication of the new issue of Alphaville. Issue 20 marks, indeed, ten years of the journal.

The scholarship published in this anniversary issue, edited by Sarah Arnold and Anne O’Brien, was due to be presented at the 2020 Doing Women’s Film & Television History conference at Maynooth University, one of the many research events that was cancelled in summer 2020 as a result of the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. As Martin Paul Eve has recently remarked, commenting on the effects of Covid-19 on publishing in 2020, “[t]he pandemic has shown, more than ever, why we need open access to research”. We at Alphaville are proud of having provided for ten years already a fully open-access research outlet fuelled by the passion and curiosity of its editors, publishing excellent scholarship that remains the property of its authors, and delivering what we hope is a prized service to the community of scholars, critics, professionals, students, and film lovers.

For this achievement, we owe a debt of gratitude to all of our editors and contributors, and to our readers too – Alphaville receives today about 2,500 visitors per month from its global readership. Perhaps more than anything, we look forward to strengthening this set of relationships over the years to come.
