New Review of Film and Television Studies (November 2004)

Abingdon (U.K.): Routledge Journals (Taylor & Francis Ltd). Near Fine. 2004. (Vol. 2, No. 2). Journal. [very slight wrinkle at bottom of front cover, otherwise as-new]. Journal whose stated purpose is to promote "current research making a central contribution to film and television studies," but without "endors[ing] a particular doctrine or fixed agenda" (take that, Screen!). Contents of this issue: "The Mating Game in Hollywood Cinema: A Darwinian Approach," by Mette Kramer; "The Text in the Third Degree: Gay Camp Recoupment in WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO...? and HIGH HEELS," by Bruce Williams; "Shot/Counter-shot: Sexuality, Psychoanalysis, and Postmodern Style in THE SOPRANOS," by Robert Miklitsch; "National Belonging: Renewing the Concept of National Cinema for a Global Culture," by Jerry White; "Foundation Myths: Dreamworks SKG, THE PRINCE OF EGYPT (1998) and the Historical Epic Film," by James Russell; "The Fabulous Destination of a Cultural Tourist in Paris: Games of Make-believe in Marc Jeunet's AMÉLIE," by Gerwin van der Pol; "American Family Dynamics and International Cultural Appropriation in a B-Movie Context: THE JONES FAMILY IN A TRIP TO PARIS," by (I just made that last one up to see if anybody would read this far, and because my namesake-but-not-relative Jed Prouty is in the movie, and also because if anybody ever steals my description they'll make themselves look pretty stupid). .
