[ecrea] Film Studies issue 13 - Institutions and Agency, Part I

The editors of FILM STUDIES are pleased to announce the release of
number 13, the first part of a double issue on the subject of
‘Institutions and Agency’.

Under the auspices of the new film history, media industry studies, the
new political economy of communication and others, film and media
scholars have increasingly attended to institutions. This trend agitates
against the long disciplinary tradition by which media have been
appreciated as the expressions of subjective visions and artistic
designs. To be sure, the new institutional approaches are not without
their critics, who have maligned them as inflexible, reductive and
ignorant of extra-economic motivations, cultural inflections and
individual decisions.

How can film and media scholarship effectively seek both macro
/and/ micro explanations and attend to both larger networks /and/ human
agency? Part I of this special issue of /Film Studies/ seeks to answer
this question by collecting a diverse series of case studies that
illustrate such comprehensive approaches.
