Camera Obscura is a triannual peer-reviewed academic journal of feminism, culture, and media studies that has operated as a feminist editorial collective out of the University of California since the 1970s,[1] and is published by Duke University Press.[2] The editors-in-chief are Lalitha Gopalan, Lynne Joyrich, Homay King, Constance Penley, Tess Takahashi, Patricia White, Sharon Willis.
History
Camera Obscura was established in 1976[3] by four graduate students at the University of California, Berkeley: Janet Bergstrom, Sandy Flitterman-Lewis, Elisabeth Lyon, and Constance Penley.[2] The four had contributed to Women & Film magazine,[4] but departed seeking to create a collectively edited journal that engaged with the contemporary critical theory. As Penley recounts, their intention was based on the view that the "analytical tools of structuralism, semiotics, and psychoanalysis could help us give a better description and explanation of the cinematic system that we wanted to counter."[5]
