Zitat aus Henry Jenkins "RECEPTION THEORY AND AUDIENCE RESEARCH: THE MYSTERY OF THE VAMPIRE'S KISS": ... Film studies actually lags behind literary criticism, where autobiographical modes of writing have gained much broader attention...
... and acceptance (Freedman et al,1993). Film Studies may still be too uncertain about its status as a discipline to fully erase the line between academic and fan. Erecting such a boundary was the price of its admission into the academy. Yet, new modes of critical writing are more and more drawing upon traditions of fan discourse, making the way for more openly appropriative, playful, autobiographical, and inventive genres of critical analysis. Such changes will not come easily, since they go against many of the rules of conventional critical discourse. Yet, these new genres of criticism may bring us closer to understanding the affective power of popular cinema.
