The monthly roundup of film and television publications compiled by Simon Baker, Institute of Historical Research, & published here at the BUFVC by Linda Kaye.

We’ve been compiling Media Screen Roundup for six months now and every issue has included something on the Cold War and the Holocaust: this issue does not disappoint. For the Cold War, there is Robert Corber’s Cold War Femme (a companion volume to his Homosexuality in Cold War America: Resistance and the Crisis of Masculinity, (1997)). For the Holocaust there is, Ferzina Banaji’s France, Film and the Holocaust: from le Génocide to Shoah and Matthew Boswell’s Holocaust Impiety in Literature, Popular Music and Film.

Other highlights include a number of articles on women and warfare and on the novel and film adaptation of Lolita in the online journal Miranda-ejournal.

Silent film is well represented by Laura Doan’s article on the 1917 sex education film Whatsoever a Man Soweth; Robert Dixon’s monograph on Frank Hurley – Photography, Early Cinema and Colonial Modernity; and Jacobson’s article on the Black Maria film studio.
