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

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.
