Rosalind Galt teaches European cinema and film theory, as well as engaging broader trajectories in critical theory and postwar global cinemas.
She is the author of The New European Cinema: Redrawing the Map (Columbia University Press, 2006), a book that examines the impact of twentieth-century histories on contemporary European cultures and traces the relationships between cinematic and geopolitical spaces in post-1989 film across the continent. She has also published articles in journals such as Screen and Cinema Journal.
Her research interests include comparative European cinemas (including Spanish, Italian, French, German, Dutch, British, Yugoslav, Danish); theories of nation, space, and borders; feminist and queer theory;
ideology and aesthetics; postwar European avant-gardes; art cinema;
and theories of history. Recent classes include Theories of Spectacle,
Benjamin and his Readers, The Idea of European Cinema, and Cinema and the Real.
Galt is currently researching a new book on the pretty, dealing with the problem of aesthetics in film theory. She is also working on the1960s Catalan avant garde, and on the British experimental filmmaker Derek Jarman.
