[Commlist] Alphaville Issue 26: Home as a Site of Resistance published

We are delighted to announce the new issue of Alphaville: Journal of 
Film and Screen Media on the topic of Home as a Site of Resistance, 
edited by Anna Viola Sborgi and Elizabeth Patton.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we view the concept of home. This 
shift has highlighted various societal disparities, including those 
based on race, gender, sexuality, and economic status. While the idea of 
the mediated home has been a growing topic of study, this issue of 
Alphaville narrows its focus on the home as a space of resistance across 
different geographies and periods, from the 1960s to today.
