[Commlist] Publication of issue 27 of Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media

We are happy to announce publication of issue 27 of Alphaville: Journal 
of Film and Screen Media.

This double issue of Alphaville combines two sections that, albeit in 
markedly different ways, celebrate and investigate far-reaching artistic 
and scholarly legacies and offer important glimpses into the future of 
their respective fields.

The opening section, edited by Amy M. Davis and Helen Haswell, is 
devoted to the 100th anniversary of Disney, an unmissable opportunity to 
appraise the state of Disney scholarship, to investigate understudied or 
new topics that span all the Company’s multiform activities, and to 
inquire into both the past and future of animation, film, mass media, 
and entertainment.

The second section is a dossier edited by Liz Greene, dedicated to 
Danijela Kulezic-Wilson (1966–2021). A distinguished music scholar, 
Kulezic-Wilson’s work on sound design and film music has been 
pathbreaking. Danijela Kulezic-Wilson left an indelible impression not 
only on sound and music studies, but also, with her intellectual rigour 
and her radiant professional and human qualities, on the people who 
worked or studied with her here at University College Cork. 
Kulezic-Wilson was a friend of Alphaville. In 2012, she coedited Sound, 
Voice, Music, the third issue of the journal. In 2014, she contributed a 
beautiful essay on Richard Linklater’s Waking Life to an issue on animation.

This dossier is our loving tribute to her.
