All of the following theorists appear in the pages of this book. I would like particularly to thank Andrew Elfenbein, Regenia Gagnier, Barbara Gelpi, Paul Hernadi, Linda Hutcheon, Alan Liu, Jerome McGann, Elaine Showalter, Garrett Stewart, Herbert F. Tucker, and Hayden White for their guidance and encouragement through the various stages of my career. A number of people have also helped me through the writing of this particular book, including Emily Allen, Barbara Leckie, Maren Linett, Aparajita Sagar, Ryan Schneider, Marjorie Stone, and Marlene Tromp. In particular, I would like to thank two former PhD students of mine, Kenneth Crowell and Adam Wat- kins, who read through the entire manuscript and helped to keep me clear and honest throughout. About 200 words of my “Note on the Use of this Key Concepts Guide” is drawn from my article, “Theory, Late and Latest,” published in European Romantic Review 18.2 (2007). A part of my definition of “simulacra” can be found in “The Matrix:Para- digm of Post-Modernism or Intellectual Poseur? (Part I)” in Glenn Yeffeth (ed.), 2003, Taking the Red Pill: Science, Philosophy and Religion in The Matrix, Dallas: BenBella Books. I thank Taylor & Francis and BenBella Books for permission to use that material here. I reserve my final acknowledgements for the many undergraduate and graduate students that I have taught, first at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where my Guide to Theory began as a photocopied hand-out, then at Purdue University, where a Center for Undergraduate Instructional Excellence fellowship in the College of Liberal Arts and an Indiana Higher Education Telecommunication System grant afforded me the time to create the online Introductory Guide to Critical Theory. vi Template: KeyGuides, Font: Bembo Date: 01/04/2015; 3B2 version: 10.0.1465/W Unicode (Dec 22 2011) (APS_OT) Dir: //integrafs1/kcg/2-Pagination/TandF/CTC_RAPS/ApplicationFiles/9780415695664_text.3d A NOTE ON THE USE OF THIS KEY CONCEPTS GUIDE Upon reading of himself referred to as “the late Mark Twain,” Twain famously quipped that “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” And so it is with theory, which, over the last few years, has been pronounced dead over and over again. The reason often given for this premature postmortem is that no new theoretical schools have emerged in the last decade or two with the same force that attended the rise of theories discussed in this book, including Marxism, cultural materialism, feminism, deconstruction, narratology, queer theory, new historicism, postmodernism, and various manifestations of psychoanalysis (Freudian, Lacanian, screen theory, etc.). What has characterized the theoretical work of the last decade is less a declaration of a particular school of thinking or critical methodology than a general implementa- tion of many of the precepts and methods of critical theory in the examination and analysis of disparate cultural objects. Theory has become so much a part of the way critics understand culture and ideology that critics no longer feel the need to insist upon its life signs. Terry Eagleton puts it well in his provocatively titled After Theory (2003): “If theory means a reasonably systematic reflection on our guiding assumptions, it remains as indispensable as ever. But we are living now in the aftermath of what one might call high theory, in an age which, having grown rich on the insights of thinkers like Althusser, Barthes and Derrida, has also in some ways moved beyond them” (2). Where we have moved to is often called Cultural Studies, a wide- ranging examination of various cultural phenomena that had been largely ignored because they were considered “low” or overly marginal: pop music, television, and film; the history of science (especially super- seded technologies or now discredited forms of medicine like phrenology, alchemy, and quackery); past understandings of sex and desire; or any number of ephemera (Byron’s boots, Victorian wedding cakes, or early modern cartography, and so on).1 One thing that theory has done for vii Template: KeyGuides, Font: Bembo Date: 01/04/2015; 3B2 version: 10.0.1465/W Unicode (Dec 22 2011) (APS_OT) Dir: //integrafs1/kcg/2-Pagination/TandF/CTC_RAPS/ApplicationFiles/9780415695664_text.3d USING THE GUIDE scholars is to free them from the exclusive exploration of literary texts or “high” historical documents, opening their sights outward to the entire social world. High school and university classes have followed suit, so that a given survey of literature or history will now commonly include an examina- tion of debates in the sciences, an exploration of penal structures, or an overview of changing sexual mores. Surveys of literature will often include an expanded canon of “great writers” that introduces a plethora of new voices (female, lower class, colonial, queer, populist, and so on) as literary study has changed in response to the insights of feminism, Marxism, postcolonial studies, queer theory, and cultural studies. These changes are informed by

    GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS, SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS SPECULATIVE MATTER: GENERIC AFFINITIES, POSTHUMANISMS AND SCIENCE-FICTIONAL IMAGININGS By LAURA M. WIEBE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Laura Wiebe, October 2012 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: Speculative Matter: Generic Affinities, Posthumanisms and Science-Fictional Imaginings AUTHOR: Laura Wiebe, B.A. (University of Waterloo), M.A. (Brock University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Anne Savage NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 277 ii ABSTRACT Amidst the technoscientific ubiquity of the contemporary West (or global North), science fiction has come to seem the most current of genres, the narrative form best equipped to comment on and work through the social, political and ethical quandaries of rapid technoscientific development and the ways in which this development challenges conventional understandings of human identity and rationality. By this framing, the continuing popularity of stories about paranormal phenomena and supernatural entities – on mainstream television, or in print genres such as urban fantasy and paranormal romance – may seem to be a regressive reaction against the authority of and experience of living in technoscientific modernity. Nevertheless, the boundaries of science fiction, as with any genre, are relational rather than fixed, and critical engagements with Western/Northern technoscientific knowledge and practice and modern human identity and being may be found not just in science fiction “proper,” or in the scholarly field of science and technology studies, but also in the related genres of fantasy and paranormal romance.

  • Material Culture, Theoretical Culture, and Delocalization
    PETER GALISON Material Culture, Theoretical Culture, and Delocalization Collection, laboratory, and theater – all face the unavoidable problem of moving the specific, tangible reality of a highly refined local circum- stance into a wider domain, if not of the universal, at least out of the here and now. In the study of science, simply recognizing the inevitably local origins of science has been an enormous accomplishment, perhaps the signal achievement of science studies over the past twenty years. But we then need to understand, again in specific terms, how this lo- cally-produced knowledge moves, how – without invoking an other- wise unexplained process of ‘generalization’ – scientific work is de- localized. My work over the last years (e.g. Image and Logic)1 has aimed at this goal, folding the local back on the local, so to speak, by asking how the local cultures of science link up through the piecewise coordination of bits of languages, objects, procedures. I have in mind much more austere and less grand ideas than the ‘translation,’ ‘trans- mission,’ or ‘diffusion’ of pre-existing meanings. Instead, my focus is on the way bare-bone trading may occur between different subcultures of science, or between subcultures of science and bits of the wider world in which they are fundamentally embedded. In this picture, nei- ther language nor the world of things changes all of a piece, and talk of world-changing Gestalt shifts give way to the particular building-up of scientific jargons, pidgins, and creoles. These trading languages be- come important as do shared bits of apparatus or fragments of theoreti- cal manipulation.

  • SCMS 2019 Conference Program
    CELEBRATING SIXTY YEARS SCMS 1959-2019 SCMSCONFERENCE 2019PROGRAM Sheraton Grand Seattle MARCH 13–17 Letter from the President Dear 2019 Conference Attendees, This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. Formed in 1959, the first national meeting of what was then called the Society of Cinematologists was held at the New York University Faculty Club in April 1960. The two-day national meeting consisted of a business meeting where they discussed their hope to have a journal; a panel on sources, with a discussion of “off-beat films” and the problem of renters returning mutilated copies of Battleship Potemkin; and a luncheon, including Erwin Panofsky, Parker Tyler, Dwight MacDonald and Siegfried Kracauer among the 29 people present. What a start! The Society has grown tremendously since that first meeting. We changed our name to the Society for Cinema Studies in 1969, and then added Media to become SCMS in 2002. From 29 people at the first meeting, we now have approximately 3000 members in 38 nations. The conference has 423 panels, roundtables and workshops and 23 seminars across five-days. In 1960, total expenses for the society were listed as $71.32. Now, they are over $800,000 annually. And our journal, first established in 1961, then renamed Cinema Journal in 1966, was renamed again in October 2018 to become JCMS: The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. This conference shows the range and breadth of what is now considered “cinematology,” with panels and awards on diverse topics that encompass game studies, podcasts, animation, reality TV, sports media, contemporary film, and early cinema; and approaches that include affect studies, eco-criticism, archival research, critical race studies, and queer theory, among others.

  • COMPASSION and CRITIQUE Angela P. Harris*
    COMPASSION AND CRITIQUE Angela P. Harris* INTRODUCTION Where does compassion begin? Perhaps with the experience of caring. Caring happens in the body and in the moment: a quick squirt of oxytocin, a firing of mirror neurons, the sudden perception of a link between the so- called self and the so-called other. Caring is unpredictable and unwilled, a reaction, an eruption along the shifting surfaces between you and not-you, suddenly experienced in the “flinching of an eye.” Kathleen Stewart describes an observer’s emotional reaction to the pain of another: The young miner who showed me the mine put out every cigarette he smoked on his hand, which was covered with scar tissue. Then I saw the other young miners all had the backs of their hands covered with scar tissue . when my eye fell on them it flinched, seeing the burning cigarette being crushed and sensing the pain . The eye does not read the meaning in a sign; it jumps from the mark to the pain and the burning cigarette, and then jumps to the fraternity signaled by * Professor of Law, University of California—Davis (King Hall). Although the participants in this Symposium were instructed to reflect on race and Marxism, I found myself reflecting instead on the work of the Symposium’s organizer, Anthony Paul Farley. His classic treatment of the pleasures of anti-black racism, The Black Body as Fetish-Object, 76 OR. L. REV. 457 (1997), continues to instruct all who read it, and his writing and speaking—laced always with compassion and outrage—reminds me to watch out and take care.
