The interventions unpack unspoken assumptions and hidden agendas that determine film historiography until today, also with the aim to act as a critical reflection on the potential future orientation of the field. The edited volume proposes a transnational, entangled and culturally diverse approach towards an archaeology of film history, while paying specific attention to persons, objects, infrastructures, regions, institutional fields and events hitherto overlooked. It explores past and ongoing processes of doing, undoing and redoing film history. Thereby, in a self-reflective gesture, it also draws attention to our own work as film historians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003eMalte Hagener and Yvonne Zimmermann: Unpacking Film History’s Own Histories: An Archaeology of Film Historiography \u003cbr\u003eModels of Film Historiography – Philosophy and Time \u003cbr\u003eThomas Elsaesser: The Aporias of Cinema History \u003cbr\u003eJane M.
