cinema, culture & society

Associate Professor at the Department of English Studies of the University of Zaragoza. My research centers on film genre and cultural studies. I am currently analyzing filmic representations of the economic crisis in contemporary transnational cinema. I am part of the research group “Film and crisis: social change and representation in the cinema of the new century”.
