Welcome to Dr Beata Waligórska-Olejniczak, Academic Visitor

Welcome to Dr Beata Waligórska-Olejniczak, Associate Professor and the head of the Department of Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture in the Institute of Russian and Ukrainian Studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland), who is visiting SSEES until 20 March 2022. 

While visiting, Professor Waligórska-Olejniczak is working on the problem of memory of the female body as shown in films released by female directors in Russia. The project derives from her latest book. She is particularly interested in the works of Russian women artists who concentrate on more than one aspect of visual production, being at the same time filmmakers, screenplay writers, actresses or producers. To understand the relationship between soma and ethics she is going to examine the role of gesture within the framework of space.
