About
My research explores primarily the connection between the visuality of race and the ontology of images. My main areas of interest include Critical Theory, African-American Film and Visual Culture, Critical Race Theory, Post-Colonial Theory, Vernacular Theory, Marxist theory, and Semiotics.
I have co-edited two volumes (with Robert Stam) on film adaptation from literary sources (Literature and Film, A Companion to Literature and Film) published by Blackwell; and (with Leonardo Quaresima and Laura Vichi) two multilingual volumes of Conference Proceedings of the Udine International Film Studies Conference (Italy) on The Birth of Film Genres and The Bounds of Representation; I have translated and curated the Italian edition of Robert Stam, Robert Burgoyne and Sandy Flitterman-Lewis, New Vocabularies in Film Semiotics.
I have presented an published on the racial index, the epidermal signifier, and race as face value.
