我要吃瓜 me

I have published widely on contemporary Spanish cinema, with an emphasis on landscape, genre, on Basque cinema and on gender and sexualities. I am the author of monographs on Spanish Gothic (Edinburgh University Press 2016), Penélope Cruz (Palgrave Macmillan 2014), Spanish landscape, space and place (Liverpool University Press 2012); on the Basque director Daniel Calparsoro (Manchester University Press, 2009)?and the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar (Grant & Cutler, 2007); and on gender relations in Don Juan plays (Edwin Mellen 2004). I am co-author of a monograph on Carmen on film (with Phil Powrie, Bruce Babington and Chris Perriam; Indiana University Press 2007). I have edited a volume on contemporary Spanish cinema (Palgrave Macmillan 2011), and co-edited volumes on Carmen on film (with Chris Perriam; Rodopi 2006) and masculinities in Hollywood and European cinema (with Phil Powrie and Bruce Babington; Wallflower Press 2004).

Research

My overall research approach is based broadly within film and cultural studies. My primary field of research is that of contemporary Spanish cinema and contemporary Spanish Gothic, and the use of landscape, space and place in Gothic and Spanish culture. I also research on the films of Guillermo del Toro. I have previously worked on Basque cinema, film noir and the thriller, masculinities in Spanish cinema and the figure of Carmen on film. I have also written on the Spanish star Penélope Cruz.
