Well, there's this one

If there's more and they're not online, I'd just copy them from a University library. It's a well-known journal, and should be easily available. For instance, I'm pretty sure the library at the University of Oslo has every issue of Film Quarterly ever published (and before you ask, I don't plan on going there for at least a few weeks).

"Caash, prease."

Okay, I just found out I still have access to an electronice archive of all the back issues of Film Quarterly, and unless their search function is all whack I can't find any in-depth essay on David Lynch and/or Twin Peaks except Nochimson's essay.

This is what I found:
-Reviews of: Michel Chion's Lynch book; Full of Secrets; Nochimson's Lynch in Hollywood book (called "Wild at heart"); all Lynch's films except FWWM.
-interview with Tim Hunter
-Nochimson's essay (already available online)
-marginally related articles mentioning Lynch or Twin Peaks in passing, etc. Nothing interesting except one reference to a book I haven't read that has one chapter on Twin Peaks - "Still life in real time. Theory after television" by Richard Dienst. (The chapter is titled "Appetite and satisfaction, a golden circle: Magic and commerce in Twin Peaks" and seems to be more about the television climate than the actual series, though I could be wrong.)

Unless you know something I don't - which is very possible - I doubt you'll find much. Or are you thinking of of a different journal? I have plenty of other essays, papers and dissertations lying about, but none from Film Quarterly.

Well, deep down I started this thread because some time ago I was peering through the bibliography section of David Lavery´s "Full of secrets" and knew that there were some essays about Twin Peaks published in Film Quarterly, but now I realize the references say "Literature/Film Quarterly", which I´m not sure what it means. Anyway, it seems there was a special issue devoted to the series (or that´s what I´ve understood till now). Below are the references I´m talking about, copied from Lavery´s book:

- Birns, Nicholas, "Telling Inside from Outside, or, Who Really Killed Laura Palmer?" Literature/Film Quarterly 21.4 (1993): 60-68

- Carrion, Maria M. "Twin Peaks and the Circular Ruins of Fiction: Figuring (Out) the Acts of Reading" Literature/Film Quarterly 21.4 (1993): 4-11

- Carroll, Michael. "Agent Cooper´s Errand in the Wilderness: Twin Peaks and American Mithology" Literature/Film Quarterly 21.4 (1993): 51-59

- Davenport, Randi. "The Knowing Spectator of Twin Peaks: Culture, Feminism, and Family Violence" Literature/Film Quarterly 21.4 (1993): 19-23

- Huskey, Melynda. "Twin Peaks: Re-writing the Sensation Novel" Literature/Film Quarterly 21.4 (1993): 12-18

- Lavery, David, ed. "Peaked Out!" Twin Peaks Special Issue. Literature/Film Quarterly 21.4 (1993): 238-306

- Ledwon, Lenora. "Twin Peaks and the Television Gothic" Literature/Film Quarterly 21.4 (1993): 24-34

- Nickerson, Catherine. "Serial Killers and Serial Detection in Twin Peaks" Literature/Film Quarterly 21.4 (1993): 35-40

Does anybody know about these essays? Any chance to find them? Thanks in advance!

That's correct. I have a copy of that article.

edit: In fact, I have digital copies of several articles and other things from Film Quarterly and other publications that aren't easily avaiable (or at least I think they're not). I'll be happy to send them to you if you're interested.

Aha, that one is indeed a different journal altogether (and not as well known). I can probably get a copy of the particular issue in a three weeks or so. Also, looks like they have back issues available for sale for a very reasonable price if you want to do it that way.

Did you buy it?
I checked out the copy from the library and it looks interesting so far. I might copy the whole thing one day. Extremely heavy on the theory, though. Some passages in the first essay were nearly impenetrable, and I just wrote a 120-page thesis based on heavy film theory, so it's not like I'm not used to it. Seems like it's a product of the same David Lavery-led project that resulted in "Full of Secrets", this being more theory and less criticism than that book.

Ok, just because I am a bit naughty, and because I want to read it myself, here is a .ZIP archive of the entire 'Literature and Film Quarterly' Vol. 21 No. 4 of 1993. It was obviously a Twin Peaks themed edition, and from a cursory inspection many of the essays were included in the 'Full of Secrets' collected publication, although maybe not all.

Anyhow, here is the link for the archive. Once unzipped you should find a folder of .pdf files of the whole edition:

If it doesn't work, or if any of the individual files are corrupted, let me know and I will fix it.

Wow, thanks! That saved me a lot of trouble.

I haven't read Full of Secrets in many a full moon, but I'm pretty sure that NONE of these appeared in that book. This is the companion volume; or "Full of Secrets vol.2: The Academic Version", if you will. David Lavery edited both volumes.

"What credit card do you want to put that on?"
"Caash, prease."

"What credit card do you want to put that on?"
"Caash, prease."

Third try...  I unzip the folder and a file called _MACOSX shows up, but there's nothing in it.  Huh.

Sorry it didn't work. It must be a mac-related issue, because I used the zip program built into the OS. I will try archiving it again as a non-mac specific zip, but if that doesn't work, maybe somebody who has been able to unzip the original can re-up it for you?

Here goes... http://www.mediafire.com/?7xokegvszgy

  Ah!  Disco!  Thank you so very much! This will be of great use to me!

Thanks a lot btaw! I had´t bought them yet but now to have them here it´s a dream come true!

Evenreven... Does that mean you are a professional essayist or something? Wow, Bob, wow!

A TREASURE TROVE!
quite kind of you to upload it and share with all
VERY APPRECIATED!

Glad to be of assistance to everyone, but don't thank me, thank my university library!

Having read some of the essays in the journal, and in the 'full of secrets' book itself which was also in our library, I wanted to ask if any of the essays had prompted any thoughts or responses? I know some of them have rubbed me the wrong way entirely, so I would like to see what other readers think.

It was printed in a Norwegian academic film journal called Z and is available online if you understand Norwegian. Which most people don't. :)
