Good and bad news here, the bad news is as an academic subject, we do use jargon - such as "intellectual montage" instead of "Hollywood montage" - comes from theory, so yes jargon can still be used to mystify positions taken on interpretation. One the other hand, we are a long way away from the 70s; film study in no longer a humanities based project, but more fruitfully finds its home in communication studies, especially mass comm, among others. One of my mentors, Bill Nichols had read ALL film criticism while at UCLA in the early 70s; now one could not read all of the literature coming out in any given quarter, so quite a bit more going on now than in the 70s. To me this is not a question of using theory, but which ones and to what extent and purpose. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
