[ecrea] Film Studies - issue 14 - Institutions and Agency, part II

Sat Jul 30 23:46:46 GMT 2016





The editors of FILM STUDIES are pleased to announce the release of number 14, the second 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 II 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.
