个人简介
My research and publication interests embrace three different areas: Transformers literature, arts, and film; Halo literature; critical theory (including film, media and television theory) and visual culture; social issues, ancient history, folktales and all kinds of myths. These seemingly divergent fields are connected by my interest in the relationship that exists between textuality and visual images, as well as the by application of contemporary critical theory to literary, film and visual texts. I have published regularly in all three of these areas and where possible I try to ensure that my research develops directly out of or has a symbiotic relationship with courses that I teach.Important for my academic development is the fact that I have long been drawn to contemporary (European) ideas and forms of critical theory, in particular the work of Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, Jean Bauldriard .
