Formulated Year

Formulated year places a media concept in the year it was actually named. Wikipedia notes that "in 1962, American film critic Andrew Sarris popularized the concept in the United States, calling it the auteur theory," years after the idea itself first circulated among French critics. Browsing by formulated year traces how a media idea moved from a loose critical mood to a named theory.
