Many scholars have linked the origins of the discipline to late-1960s developments in the academy such as structuralist theory and student protest. Yet this collection reveals the broader material and institutional forces—both inside and outside of the university—that have long shaped the field. Beginning with the first investigations of cinema in the early twentieth century, this volume provides detailed examinations of the varied social, political, and intellectual milieus in which knowledge of cinema has been generated. The contributors explain how multiple instantiations of film study have had a tremendous influence on the methodologies, curricula, modes of publication, and professional organizations that now constitute the university-based discipline. Extending the historical insights into the present, contributors also consider the directions film study might take in changing technological and cultural environments. -- Publisher description Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9780822342892 Contents: The Academy and Motion Pictures / Lee Grieveson, Haidee Wasson -- Making Cinema Knowable -- Cinema Studies and the Conduct of Conduct / Lee Grieveson Taking Liberties: The Payne Fund Studies and the Creation of the Media Expert / Mark Lynn Anderson "Reaching the Multimillions": Liberal Internationalism and the Establishment of Documentary Film / Zoe Druick Young Art, Old Colleges: Early Episodes in the American Study of Film / Dana Polan -- Making Cinema Educational -- Studying Movies at the Museum: The Museum of Modern Art and Cinema's Changing Object / Haidee Wasson Classrooms, Clubs, and Community Circuits: Cultural Authority and the Film Council Movement, 1946-1957 / Charles R.
