Dr Deborah Martin
Lecturer in Latin American Cultural Studies
Dr Deborah Martin (M Phil and PhD Cantab) lectures on the cinema, literature and culture of Latin America. She is currently working on two research projects. The first, funded by the AHRC (2011-12) focuses on representations of the child in Latin American cinema, whilst the second looks at the work of Argentine director Lucrecia Martel. Her articles on Latin American film and literature have appeared in Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies, Modern Language Review, Bulletin of Latin American Research and Tesserae. She is the author of a book, Painting, Literature and Film in Colombian Feminine Culture: Of Border Guards, Nomads and Women (2012). The book explores the work of painter Débora Arango, novelist Laura Restrepo, and of women documentary filmmakers. Research interests include theories of gender, sexuality and childhood, and of film and the visual. Forthcoming publications include articles on childhood and youth in Martel’s La mujer sin cabeza (Hispanic Research Journal), childhood and intersexuality in recent Argentine cinema (Journal of Romance Studies), and the connection between the girl and gothic/horror (Forum for Modern Language Studies). She recently published an interview with Argentine director Julia Solomonoff (with D Shaw):
