Letter from the editors: We are very excited to be sharing with you the 2021 Film, Media, and Journalism Studies catalog.

The recent resurgence of interest in the work of William Greaves is complemented and enhanced by the publication of William Greaves, edited by Scott MacDonald and Jacqueline Najuma Stewart. The book is the first comprehensive overview of Greaves’s career and illuminates how his films became a powerful tool for transforming how Black Americans were perceived by others and how they saw themselves.

We also have three new books from our Film and Culture series that showcase the place of film on local and global levels. Debashree Mukherjee’s Bombay Hustle is an ambitious history of the city’s film culture that offers new insights into media, modernity, and the late colonial city. Moving a few years ahead and across the globe, Keep ’Em in the East, by Richard Koszarski, describes how New York City’s independent and Black filmmakers as well as studio productions changed the direction of American cinema. Finally, the exertion of and resistance to American cultural influence is told via the history of movie theaters in Ross Melnick’s Hollywood’s Embassies.

We continue to publish books for students, researchers, and teachers in Wallflower’s Short Cuts series. These short introductory volumes provide focused accounts of key topics in contemporary film studies. This year, Terence McSweeney offers a close reading of recent superhero films, teasing out the ideological content hidden beneath the special effects.

Karen McNally returns to classical Hollywood, examining Tinseltown’s long history of self-mythologizing through narratives of the meteoric rise (and fall) of movie stars, in The Stardom Film. And Warren Buckland’s Narrative and Narration provides a concise, clear, and thorough overview of narrative strategies in film, from classical Hollywood to contemporary “puzzle films.”

A multiplicity of threats to journalism and the free flow of reliable information has seemingly become a permanent feature of contemporary life. In Media Capture, edited

by Anya Schiffrin, journalists and scholars examine the changing nature and peril of new forces seeking to take control of media around the world. Nikki Usher’s News for the Rich, White, and Blue considers how the collapse of local journalism has skewed news coverage to suit particular audiences and addresses the prospects for achieving a more equitable future in news. In Regardless of Frontiers, edited by Lee C. Bollinger and Agnes Callamard, contributors analyze the challenges to norms on the flow of information from the rise of populism and authoritarian governments to the disruptions introduced by the internet.

Reporters themselves are also confronting new threats to their work and personal safety, and Susan McGregor’s Information Security Essentials examines how journalists can protect themselves. Finally, Francesco Marconi’s Newsmakers breaks down the pros and cons of how journalists can and should use AI in their reporting.

We hope you share our enthusiasm and excitement for these books. Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to future conversations.

Sincerely, Philip Leventhal, senior editor for film, media, and journalism studies Ryan Groendyk, editor for Wallflower 2

FILM HISTORY/FILM THEORY Absence in Cinema

Anxious Cinephilia

Justin Remes

Sarah Keller

The Art of Showing Nothing

Pleasure and Peril at the Movies

Justin Remes demonstrates how omissions of expected elements can spur viewers to interpret and understand the nature of film in new ways.

Through a careful analysis of a broad array of avant-garde works, Absence in Cinema reveals that films must be understood not only in terms of what they show but also what they withhold.

The advent of new screening practices and viewing habits in the twenty-first century has prompted debate over what it means to be a “cinephile.” Sarah Keller places these competing visions in historical and theoretical perspective, tracing how the love of movies intertwines with anxieties over the content and impermanence of cinematic images.

Making Worlds

Affect and Collectivity in Contemporary European Cinema

Claudia Breger

Confronting Genocide in Cambodian Documentary

Feminist Subversions of Frontier Myths

Perpetrator Cinema explores a new trend in the cinematic depiction of genocide that has emerged in Cambodian documentary in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Film Curatorship

Guy Debord

Archives, Museums, and the Digital Marketplace, Second Edition

Edited by Paolo Cherchi Usai, David Francis, Alexander Horwath, and Michael Loebenstein

Das filmische Gesamtwerk Edited and translated

by Werner Rappl in collaboration with Wolfgang Kukulies

Film Curatorship is an experiment: a collective text, a montage of dialogues, conversations, and exchanges among four professionals representing three generations of film archivists and curators. It calls for an open philosophical and ethical debate on fundamental questions the profession must come to terms with in the twenty-first century. The second edition features a new preface by the authors.

In his films, Guy Debord (1931–1994) worked according to the following principle: do nothing you should, do everything you should not.

Created between 1952 and 1978, all the films reflect this rule and confirm what he referred to as his “detestable ambition.” Gathered in a single volume for the first time in German, this publication unites the texts of all of Guy Debord’s films in a new translation.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Journalism

How Experiential Media Are Transforming News

Francesco Marconi

John V. Pavlik

John V. Pavlik argues that a new form of media has emerged: experiential news, which delivers not just news stories but also news experiences, in which the consumer engages as a participant or virtual eyewitness in immersive, multisensory, and interactive narratives.

Will the use of artificial intelligence, algorithms, and smart machines be the end of journalism as we know it—or its savior? Francesco Marconi, who has led the development of AI at the Associated Press and Wall Street Journal, offers a new perspective on the potential of these technologies.

MEDIA STUDIES Knowledge Worlds

Looking Through Images

Media, Materiality, and the Making of the Modern University

A Phenomenology of Visual Media

Reinhold Martin

Emmanuel Alloa

Translated by Nils F. Schott Afterword by Andrew Benjamin

Knowledge Worlds reconceives the university as a media complex through which knowledge is made, conveyed, and withheld. Reinhold Martin argues that the material infrastructures of the modern university reveal the ways in which knowledge is created and reproduced in different kinds of institutions.

Emmanuel Alloa retraces the history of Western attitudes toward the visual to propose a major rethinking of images as irreplaceable agents of our everyday engagement with the world. He examines how ideas of images and their powers have been constructed in Western humanities, art theory, and philosophy.

TransCoding: From "Highbrow Art" to Participatory Culture

Radio Art in the USA Edited by Anne Thurmann-Jajes and Regine Beyer

Social Media – Art – Research Barbara Lüneburg

Between 2014 and 2017, the artistic research project “Transcoding: From ‘Highbrow Art’ to Participatory Culture” encouraged creative participation in multimedia art via social media.

Based on the artworks that emerged from the project, Barbara Lüneburg investigates authorship, authority, motivational factors, and aesthetics in participatory art created with the help of web 2.0 technology.

Listen Up! is the first book to examine American radio art as a distinct sound art practice. Analytical essays by leading media art historians and practitioners discuss how the field took shape in the context of changing broadcast environments and sociopolitical realities, while manifestos and other original documents provide vivid glimpses into the concerns of artists seeking to insert their alternative visions into the mass medium of radio.

Sarah Street and Joshua Yumibe provide a revelatory history of how the use of color in film led the way in creating a chromatically vibrant culture. Focusing on the final decade of silent film, Chromatic Modernity portrays the 1920s as a pivotal and profoundly chromatic period of cosmopolitan exchange, collaboration, and experimentation.

Eithne Quinn reveals how Hollywood catalyzed racial politics in the decade after the passage of the Civil Rights Act through representation on screen as well as in battles over jobs and resources behind the scenes. Based on extensive archival research and detailed discussions of films, this book examines the limits of Hollywood liberalism.
