Last time I attended ASLE I documented the most interesting (to me) books, articles and films that were discussed or even mentioned in various sessions I attended, so I thought I’d take a stab at it again this year to see what it reveals about the preoccupations of those presenters I followed, and my own wandering attentions. The list is much shorter for some reason; could be the sessions I attended or the paucity of my notes.
