"Perhaps one of the most peicious ideologies at work in the world
today is that intellectual work is a singular and isolated
enterprise, and there is no small irony to the idea that the
fantasy of the scholarly ivory tower has now officially yielded to
the forces under which colleges and universities are becoming
increasingly modeled on the corporate sector, all of this in the
name of privatization. Despite this, and despite the plain fact
that the work of scholars frequently does isolate them one from the
other, this volume should stand as proof of the possibilities of
collective work, to the degree that its authors all found to be
compelling the project of thinking about how the fields of film
studies and cultural studies have transformed each other. "
