Taking Place: Location and the Moving Image

Acknowledgments

363 Acknowledgments We would like to thank, first and foremost, the contributors to this volume, all of whom have been exceedingly patient as this collection has made its slow way to publication. Apart from their patience, we want to thank them for the ingenious ways in which they responded to the collection’s preoccupations. We also offer special thanks to Rosalind Galt for extra help with images, and to Sam Cooper and Michael Lawrence. We want to thank the anonymous readers of the manuscript who offered initial support and useful critical advice. We thank especially Sabine Haenni, who gave us extremely helpful criticism and enthusiastic encouragement as the project moved through its final stages of preparation. Support from the British Academy allowed us to present some preliminary versions of four of the essays here printed at a panel on place that we organized for the annual conference of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies, held in Chicago in March 2007. Last, we would like to thank Jason Weidemann and Danielle Kasprzak from the University of Minnesota Press. Jason understood the interest of the project and encouraged us from the very beginning, and his support has seen this unusual collection through to the end. This page intentionally left blank ...
