My research as a Film Studies scholar has always focused on moving beyond what movies literally say. I believe that one must first understand the internal mechanisms of meaning-making within the filmic text in order to properly analyze the relationship between cinema and society. With this in mind, my research has concentrated on the study of film genres and their intersection with transnational cinema, particularly in Spanish audiovisual production, contemporary Argentine cinema, and US cinema.
In addition to my specialization in Film Studies, my training in English Studies, Literary Theory, and Comparative Literature has allowed me to combine textual film analysis with other tools from comparative studies as applied to specific contexts. In this regard, my research also examines the ways in which industrial and social phenomena intertwine with the changing nature of multiple cultural archetypes and foundational narratives in fiction. I have presented my work at international conferences in the United States and Spain, including the Society For Cinema and Media Studies Annual Conference (SCMS), Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association Annual Conference (PAMLA), La mirada cautiva: el cine y el desafío de la educación mediática. V Congreso Internacional sobre Análisis Fílmico (Universitat Jaume I), I Congreso Internacional de Surcos. Asociación de Estudios Cinematográficos, or Real and Imagined Spaces in Film (Universidad de Zaragoza), among many others.
