An introductory essay to the volume sums up developments in film theory from the beginning up through the 1980s, while introductions to specific groupings of essays summarize debates on those issues. Rather than look at film theory in terms of schools and allegiances, the editors investigate questions and problematics: What is the cinema? What is the cinematic apparatus? How do spectators differ in their desires? What is realism? Is realism desirable? Thus psychoanalysis, reception theory, cognitive theory, race theory, and feminism all provide partially valid answers to the question: What does the spectator want? This anthology's goal is to facilitate a polylogue among the theorists who have ignored or maligned one another and to deprovincialize film theory. \u003ci\u003eFilm Theory\u003c\/i\u003e multiplies the perspectives and positions, the situations and locations, from which film theory is spoken.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eToby Miller\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor in the Cinema Studies Department at New York University.
