    > SIZE MATTERS: The Film Screen in Public and Private Exhibition
    >
    > While revisionist writing on film exhibition has significantly
    > incorporated an industrial economic paradigm, these studies do not
    > always account for the wider context of film exhibition that exists
    > outside
    > the average commercial theater. With new developments in cultural
    > studies
    > and reception theory as well as current theories on popular
    > geographies,
    > virtual spaces and new technologies, the scope of exhibition studies
    > can be reconfigured along original and more comprehensive lines.
    > This issue
    > will re-examine the history as well as the future of exhibition
    > within two
    > distinct, yet interrelated spaces: the public and the private (or
    > domestic) exhibition sphere.
    >
    > Possible essay topics include:
    >
    > Public Exhibition Spaces: * the drive-in * big screen and
    > technological experimentation * the revival, repertory house * the
