Lucia Saks (Ph.D. 2001, University of Southern California) joined the Screen Arts & Cultures as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2002 after teaching for five years in the Media and Communication Program at the University of Natal, Durban, South Africa. Her research interests include comparative approaches to the study of cinema between different national and/or geo-aesthetic areas with regard to the production, consumption and interpretation of film, the relationship between cinema texts, race, ethnicity, and identity formation in "transitional societies," and cinematic constructions of Europe and female sexuality in Hollywood cinema of the 1950s and 1960s. She is currently completing a book on the reconstruction of national identity in post-apartheid South African cinema. back |
