Featured Article: Southern United States
The Southern United States—commonly referred to as the American South or simply the South—constitutes a large distinctive region in the southeastern and south-central United States. Because of the region's unique cultural and historic heritage, including early European colonial settlements, the doctrine of states' rights, the institution of slavery, and the legacy of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, the South has developed its own customs, literature, musical styles, and varied cuisines.
Popular Article: Cahiers du Cinema
(Les) Cahiers du cinéma (Notebooks on Cinema) is an influential French film magazine founded in 1951, developed from the earlier magazine, Revue du Cinéma (Review of the Cinema), involving members of two Paris film clubs--Objectif 49 (Objective 49) (Robert Bresson, Jean Cocteau, and Alexandre Astruc, among others) and Ciné-Club du Quartier Latin (Cinema Club of the Latin Quarter). Cahiers was arguably the most important and influential film magazine or journal in the world from about the mid 1950s to about the end of the 1960s. In addition to expressing their opinions and prejudices, Cahiers writers attempted to find criteria by which to evaluate films, film acting, cinematography, film structure and editing, especially film directing.
