During the 1960s, when cinema first entered the academy as a
serious object of study, the primary focus was on ""auterism"", or
on film's authorship. Burgeoning cinema studies courses
demonstrated how directors were the authors of work that undermined
(or succeeded in spite of) all the constraints that Hollywood threw
at them. New critical methods were introduced as the field matured,
and studies of the author/director, for the most part, were
considered obsolete. The cSpanning fields from poststructuralism,
feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, and cultural studies, the
contributors ask - what does ""auteurship"" look like today in
light of these developments? ontent s are divided into three major
sections: Theoretical Statements; Historical and Institutional
Contexts; and Case Studies. Virginia Wright Wexman's comprehensive
introduction contextualizes the selections and summarizes the
scholarly approaches with which auteurism has been addressed in the
past; it also provides a sketch of the history of media authorship.
