New Media Reading Group
The Pitt Film Studies New Media Reading Group was started in 2010 to address emerging questions in Film Studies in the digital age at the University of Pittsburgh. Our definition of “new media” remains flexible–digital cinema, video games and streaming video are all included–but we generally relate our conversations back to concerns relevant to an evolving Film Studies discipline. In the past we have we have focused on contemporary scholarship, rather than foundational cultural studies texts. Still our goals are broad but constructive and we aim to create an environment open to a wide variety of perspectives.
Please join our group mailing list by emailing j…@g…l.com.
