Subject: No more 'solipsistic film criticism' please!
I wonder if it would be possible - indeed if anyone else would support the idea - of following a suggestion made by Leo to open a discussion forum on the BAFTSS website for debates around issues such as 'solipsistic film criticism'.
I value the BAFTSS mailing list for getting notifications of conferences, calls for papers, seminars and new publications, that are sometimes of interest to me, and/or to colleagues and research students. However, I have no interest in the (to my mind) rather tedious contretemps over 'solipistic film criticism' or spats over somebody's response to somebody else's review of somebody else's book. Yet over the last week I've had a dozen or more messages in my inbox because this debate is being carried out on the general mailing list. If I unsubscribe from the list, however, I won't get the announcements about conferences, publications, etc.
If there were a discussion forum on the BAFTSS website, then those who are interested in following or contributing to these debates could do so with all the vim and vigour we have seen in these messages, while those of us who remain uninterested could remain blissfully ignorant of the whole thing.
James
