Aside from the opening list of complete books I had written, this page comprises journal issues and conference proceedings that I had edited or coedited, as well as book chapters and articles I had published. For your convenience, click on the following instead of scrolling down: Edited Volumes; Chapters in Anthologies; Forewords & Intros; and Proceedings & Plenary Papers.
SOLE AUTHORSHIP
Note: Review articles now include the specific title of any film, book, play and/or program being discussed. For a textbook-style sampler of the first four anthological entries in this listing (namely The National Pastime, Fields of Vision, Wages of Cinema, and Millennial Traversals), please refer to the 2016 Book Texts entry below. For US Copyright Office certificates, please see About page. The essential preliminary pages of the now-unavailable print editions of The National Pastime (1990), Fields of Vision (1995), and Wages of Cinema (1998) appear as scanned PDF files right before the table of contents of each book’s digital edition. (For example: to access The National Pastime’s preliminaries, click on its link below to open the digital edition; scroll below the edition’s introduction until the centered title announcing the book’s contents. The link to the preliminaries will show up after the digital copyright line.)
11011To facilitate the easier processing of the digital editions of my books, I sought to arrive at the appropriate aesthetic package with one design for everything. The inside pages are determined by standard book specifications, while the cover took me a few years to find the perfect collaborators. Their names are mentioned in the blog layout as well as the copyright page of the PDF file (where available), but they deserve some tribute nevertheless. Mina Saha was a campus-journalism colleague way back when, who made a felicitous transition to visual arts; when I mentioned that I preferred a third-run Pinas theater scene, she knew exactly what I meant and even added several details from memory. Paolo Miguel G. Tiausas was working on journal design; when he came up with the cover for the special UNITAS issue on film criticism that I co-edited in 2020, I knew I could ask him to take charge of graphic elements. He came up with not only a template, but also a specially prepared set of fonts.
