Burgeoning cinema studies courses demonstrated how directors were the authors of work that undermined (or succeeded in spite of) all the constraints that Hollywood threw at them. New critical methods were introduced as the field matured, and studies of the author\/director, for the most part, were considered obsolete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVirginia Wright Wexman has pulled together some of the freshest writing available on the topic of film authorship. Spanning approaches including poststructuralism, feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, and cultural studies, the contributors ask, what does \u003ci\u003eauteurship\u003c\/i\u003e look like today in light of all these developments?
