NOTES 1. THE WayY MOVIES LOOK Studies of film historiography particularly relevant to this book are Robert C. Allen and Douglas Gomery, Film History: Theory and Practice (New York: Random House, 1985); and Paolo Cherchi Usai, Burning Passions: An Introduction to the Study of Silent Cinema, trans. Elizabeth Sansone (London: British Film Institute, 1994). Articles on the subject are collected in Les cahiers de la Cinémathéque no. 10-11 (Summer—Autumn 1973); Cinématographe no. 60 (September 1980); Jacques Aumont, André Gaudreault, and Michel Marie, eds., Histoire du cinéma: Nouvelles approches (Paris: Publications de la Sorbonne, 1989); and Film History 6, no. 1 (Spring 1994). See also Kristin Thompson and David Bordwell, Film History: An Introduction (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1994), pp. xxv—xlii and “Doing Film History,” at www.davidbordwell.net/essays/doing.php. 1. An example of this criticism can be found in Patrice Petro, “Feminism and Film History,” Camera Obscura no. 22 (January 1990): 9-26. 2. See Allen and Gomery, Film History: Theory and Practice, pp. 67-76. 3. I try to inventory these in Making Meaning: Inference and Rhetoric in the Interpretation of Cinema (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1989). 4. For a discussion of the relations between research traditions and research programs, see Larry Laudan, Progress and Its Problems: Towards a Theory of Scientific Growth (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1977), chap. 3. 5.

This problem is discussed briefly by a roundtable of scholars in Daan Hertogs and Nico de Klerk, eds., Nonfiction from the Teens: The 1994 Amsterdam Workshop (Amsterdam: Netherlands Film Museum, 1994), pp. 32-35, 64. 7.
