  • A Happy Farewell

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: In Summer 2018, we introduced ourselves as the new editorial team behind Cinema Journal by issuing a demand—and a promise—to decolonize the journal, the field, and the way the journal constituted the field. By its next issue, Cinema Journal had become the Journal of Cinema and Media Studies (JCMS). That name change was itself a pledge to become a new kind of journal. It was the first of many transformations we initiated in pursuit of greater equity and inclusion in academic publishing and film and media studies, broadly construed. We all devoted years of our lives to this project, because we believed and believe that the Society for Cinema and Media Studies' (SCMS) journal of record must reflect its membership's ... Read More

  • Spotlight: Graduate Student Organization

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Graduate students sometimes enter academia as starry-eyed scholars, sometimes as skeptics, and sometimes as agents of change, focused on our dreams of a better academy and by extension a better world. Graduate students are indispensable in academia, but since the founding of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies' Graduate Student Organization in 1988, our academic experiences have significantly deteriorated. We are overwhelmingly overworked and underpaid; many of us lack adequate support and mentorship; and gender minorities and people of color are frequent targets of abuse by students, faculty, and staff. Graduate workers around the globe are addressing these issues by organizing protests, going on strike, and ... Read More

Currently, he is writing his dissertation, "Muhammad Gazes: Islam, Blackness, and Resistance Cinema in the US," a representational history of Black American Muslims in cinema. This project also explores how Black Muslims have developed alternative gazes and liberatory cinematic practices to resist dominant framings of Muslimness in US media.Kam Copeland.

      Abstract: On June 6, 2020, Variety published an exclusive article: K-pop group BTS donate $1 million to Black Lives Matter, becoming the "first in the Koreanpop industry to make [a] public group and label donation after the May 25 death of George Floyd sparked protests of police violence across the country."1 Variety tweeted the exclusive at 2:47 a.m. (PST), and by 3:19 p.m. (PST), the phrase "ONE MILLION" was trending worldwide on Twitter. Just five and a half hours later, BTS's global fandom, known officially as the BTS ARMY, raised an additional $236,000 in a newly conceived fan campaign to match BTS's donation.2 They would hit $1 million less than twenty-four hours later.3 Praise for both BTS's contribution and the BTS ...

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: In Hollywood blockbuster dystopias such as Ready Player One (Steven Spielberg, 2018), the people of future Earth spend more time synced into virtual reality pods than interacting in their polluted offline worlds. In contemporary Seoul (population over ten million), where residents describe the frenetic pace, overcrowded public transportation, and air pollution of their city as Hell Chosŏn (hellish Korea), this intensity of online engagement is already becoming commonplace.1 Considered the world's most wired city, Seoul is years ahead of New York, Paris, and Mumbai in 5G connectivity and demonstrates much of the quotidian engagement in virtual reality infrastructure depicted in dystopic films through the ...

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: In the summer of 1969—a "record year" for feature film production in New York City—two Black-themed features went into production in two predominantly African American neighborhoods.1 Cotton Comes to Harlem (Ossie Davis, 1970) featured extensive location shooting throughout Harlem, while The Landlord (Hal Ashby, 1970) filmed primarily in Brooklyn's Park Slope. Both productions were led by first-time directors, one Black and one white, who sought to extend the progressive racial ideals that their films would promote onscreen by ensuring Black participation behind the scenes. The two productions competed to hire among the small pool of Black production personnel with union membership, but both fell short in their ... Read More

  • The Ballad of Morton Heilig: On VR's Mythic Past

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: The enduring presence of virtual reality (VR) technology in the popular imaginary has long derived more from its symbolic status than its technical capabilities. From the moment in 1965 that famed computer scientist Ivan Sutherland imagined the "ultimate display" as "a looking-glass into the mathematical wonderland," VR has symbolized the dream of using computers to make the representational real.1 For equally as long, that cultural fantasy has existed in tension with the technical challenges of achieving the sense of immersion or presence required for VR's users to believe they are inhabiting a virtual world. As Janet Murray put it in a 2020 special issue of the Journal of Visual Culture on VR, "as the actual ... Read More

      Abstract: Over the past four decades, the significance of screen media's role in an organized fight against the social, political, and corporeal devastation wrought by the AIDS epidemic has been registered extensively. From the outset of the crisis in the early 1980s, it is by now customary to note, film and video practices emerged as crucial facets of a diverse queer activist project; amid the rise of an increasingly reactionary mainstream, cable access talk shows here provided much-needed platforms for communal debate, safer-sex tapes offered demonstrations of innovative preventive measures, and several waves of experimental video art deconstructed the dominant media's seemingly endless cycle of rhetorical fabrications.1 ...

      Abstract: Three minutes into Joris Ivens and Marceline Loridan's Une histoire de vent (A Tale of the Wind, 1988), at the center of an extreme long shot of the Gobi Desert, Ivens (who appears as a character in the film) sits alone, leaving offscreen his film crew and filmmaking apparatuses, including the wires, antennae, and recording devices that have been revealed in previous shots. He puts on a pair of headphones, from which the following weather report is delivered in Mandarin: "Storms and tornadoes have been occurring throughout the world. In France, winds have stirred up fires; 1,000 acres of forest have been lost. In Great Britain, motorways are flooded. There are floods in Texas, 150 houses destroyed, cars swept away ... Read More

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: It has been nearly a decade since the publication of Cinema Journal's 2014 In Focus dossier on "Queer Approaches to Film, Television, and Digital Media."1 The dossier powerfully demonstrated an essential scholarly refocus from "a US-based politics of 'coming out'" to more diverse queer deconstructions, non-confrontational queer practices, negotiative queer productions in media and cultural studies.2 This shift was largely inspired by the late queer media scholar Alexander Doty's "contra-straight" theorization of the seemingly hetero-normative mainstream media text and context.3 Following this model, in combination with Sara Ahmed's queer phenomenology, recent scholarship has understood queer as not only minority ...

      Abstract: In March 2022, in the midst of a fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong that generated more than 10,000 new cases per day, two colleagues invited me to take a short weekend trip to Tai O, a fishing village located on the western side of Lantau Island. At first, I was not very excited about the trip: I had already been to Tai O several times, and in recent years the fishing village has been overtaken by tourists. It's just another village that is commodified for its traditional and exotic appeal, I thought. My colleagues soon proved me wrong by taking us on a hiking trail that overlooks the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. While pleasantly rejuvenated by the breathtaking view, I was also struck by how ...

      Abstract: On March 15, 2021, the organizers of Thailand Festival, an annual event sponsored by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, announced that they would collaborate with the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Osaka, Japan, to bring the grand celebration online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Featuring Thai actors Singto (Prachaya Ruangroj) and Krist (Perawat Sangpotirat), this event was designed to introduce an array of tourist spots to Japanese people through a staged "dating" trip of these two young men across Bangkok, who have risen to international stardom through their performance in the Boys' Love (BL) drama SOTUS: The Series (GMM One, 2016–2017).1 Since the 2014 debut of the TV show Love Sick: The Series (Channel 9 ...

  • Queer Childhood Sexuality in Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Global circulations of cinema produce intimate attachments to subjects located elsewhere, whose different lives across the distance come into proximity. The English title of the Philippine indie film Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros (Auraeus Solito, 2005), The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros, is quite beautiful yet imprecise in its translation of the original Tagalog in the worldwide release. Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros literally converts to "the blossoming young womanhood of Maximo Oliveros." The original Tagalog title is gendered: the word dalaga means young woman and the conjugation of pagdadalaga indicates becoming. To translate growing womanhood as blossoming in the sense of flowering goes beyond ... Read More

Four decades later, merely mentally picturing the scene still arrests my heart, undams my tears.This scene remains so overwhelming because it ambushed me. Growing up in socialist China, going to block-booked movies was a student's obligation. With no trailer, no spoiler, not even offered a poster, I had no interest in a film called Nezha naohai (Prince Nezha's Triumph Against Dragon King, Wang Shuchen, Xu Jingda, Yan Dingxian, 1979). Who is Nezha anyway—a difficult name, sounding odd, barely even sensible as a name. Why should I care about someone with a nonsensible name doing something nonsensical ... Read More

      Abstract: TV formats are sets of transferable ideas, principles, and procedures to produce and remake television programs.2 They "are designed to 'travel well' across national boundaries" and are adaptable to various domestic markets.3 While the transnational exchange of TV formats was considered "an Anglophone development,"4 the rapid integration of television production, circulation, and consumption into a global trade system since the 1990s has created many popular global TV formats that have become profitable media franchises and been widely (re)made in different parts of world.5 A case in point is the Dutch reality television franchise Big Brother (Veronica, 1999–) that has been adapted in more than sixty regions ...

      Abstract: Despite the shrinking space for independent cinema during the COVID-19 pandemic, several queer Korean films have found screening opportunities in both local and global over-the-top (OTT) video streaming services, including Netflix, Wavve, Watcha, and GagaOOLala. Following the favorable reception of Ke zai ni xindi de mingzi (Your Name Engraved Herein, Liu Kuang-Hui, 2020), global OTT video streaming services included more queer Asian contents, many of which are Boys' Love (BL) films and dramas. Numerous queer Korean films and TV shows also achieved commercial success during the pandemic. The popularity of Shimaent'ik erŏ (Semantic Error, Kim Soo-jung, 2022), Watcha's first original series, offers a particularly ... Read More

  • Their Own Best Creations: Women Writers in Postwar Television by Annie

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: In the summer of 2020, in the midst of a chat about future projects, a senior scholar asked me for recommendations of exemplary studies of individuals in media contexts. As a well-known scholar of the television industry, she wanted to turn her attention to the individuals who created and experienced cultures of production from the inside. Certainly, such studies exist—many of them influence my own work on aging stars—but none came to mind in the moment.1 Today, dear scholar, I'd like to suggest Annie Berke's Their Own Best Creations: Women Writers in Postwar Television as a sterling addition to that category.Berke's book, published in January 2022 by the University of California Press, is notably the first in the ...

  • The Red Years of Cahiers du cinéma (1968–1973) by Daniel
           Fairfax (review)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Reading Daniel Fairfax's The Red Years of Cahiers du cinéma (1968–1973), a spirited, brilliantly researched, and cogently written reevaluation of the militant period of the world's most famous French-language film magazine, is to be reminded of a time when film theory, practice, and politics were conceived as one. The year 1968 has long been mythologized in France as a rupture that brought the country to the brink of revolution and radicalized a generation; it also transformed French film criticism into a political enterprise above all through the efforts of Cahiers du cinéma. While the narrative of Cahiers du cinéma's revolution from an avatar of postwar cinephilia, which launched the careers of François Truffaut ... Read More

  • Lesbian Potentiality and Feminist Media in the 1970s by Rox Samer (review)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Feminist theory and queer cultures often locate lesbian feminism a bit out of time, a formation that is over(ish) but drags on, affecting present movements. In Lesbian Potentiality and Feminist Media in the 1970s, Rox Samer enters this fray with a metaphor about being tongue-tied. Lesbian is a hard word to say, they suggest, both technically—as the transition from the slow, smooth les- to the hard, quick -bian requires a sudden shift in embouchure—and also conceptually, in that some associate the term lesbian with transphobia and white feminism. For Samer, speaking the word lesbian "always feels like molasses," because there is urgency in uttering the word but its lineages are a mouthful. This image is bound up ... Read More

  • Art Cinema and India's Forgotten Futures: Film and History in the
           Postcolony by Rochona Majumdar (review)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Rochona Majumdar's Art Cinema and India's Forgotten Futures: Film and History in the Postcolony is a history of the art cinema movement in India in the immediate aftermath of decolonization and an argument for reading Indian art cinema, particularly the work of Bengali filmmakers Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen, and Satyajit Ray, as forms of historiographic thinking, which provide conceptual insights into the postcolonial present.Art Cinema and India's Forgotten Futures charts the cultural history of the art cinema movement in India, focusing on the 1950s to the 1980s, a period that saw the rise of state support for independent filmmaking fueled by an optimistic vision of the newly formed nation-state's role in cultural ...

  • Reclaiming Popular Documentary ed. by Christie Milliken and Steve F.
           Anderson (review)

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Over the past twenty years, documentary film and television have become far more popular and widely available than in previous decades. Yet the scholarship on documentary has tended to privilege the most formally inventive and politically radical documentary films, from Chronique d'un été (Chronicle of a Summer, Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin, 1961) to Tongues Untied (Marlon T. Riggs, 1989) and The Act of Killing (Joshua Oppenheimer, 2012). Noël Carroll pointed out this tendency to focus on the "art-documentary" in 1996, and the trend has continued.1 It is easy to dismiss popular documentaries, from fawning celebrity portraits to protracted true-crime miniseries, but doing so leaves a vital area of film and media ...
