About [in]Transition

[in]Transition: Journal of Videographic Film & Moving Studies is the first academic journal of its kind. The open peer-reviewed journal encourages scholars to write using the very materials that constitute their objects of study—moving images and sounds—and publishes work that contributes to both the knowledge of film and media studies and the videographic form. The journal was awarded the 2015 Anne Friedberg Award for Innovative Scholarship of Distinction by the Society for Cinema and Media Studies (SCMS). Established in 2014 as a project of MediaCommons and Journal of Cinema and Media Studies (then known as Cinema Journal), as of 2024, [in]Transition is published by the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) and owned by SCMS.

Welcome to [in]Transition’s second issue of 2024, 11.2. This issue features a variety of peer-reviewed videographic work focused on a fascinating array of film and moving image studies topics: autofiction in Bo Burnham's Inside, posthumanism in the art cinema, a reflection on police violence and personal recording devices, a collage of the various incarnations of Frankenstein, a study of color in the horror genre, an analysis of subtitling in Indian film, a reflection on masculinity in the films of Guillermo del Toro, and a study on memory in John Cassavetes's The Killing of a Chinese Bookie.  

As usual, we welcome new submissions.

We would also like to take a moment to thank all of our peer reviewers. We appreciate their hard work and constructive feedback. That being said, we would also eagerly welcome new reviewers. If you are interested in reviewing for our journal, please contact us.
