I am professor of film studies at Linnaeus University, Sweden, where I am also part of the Linnaeus University Center for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS).

My research centres on archives and audiovisual heritage, cultural memory, documentary filmmaking as well as feminist and queer experimental filmmaking and video practice.

My book Remediating Transcultural Memory: Documentary Filmmaking as Archival Intervention (de Gruyter, 2015) is a contribution to the emerging field of media memory studies, offering new takes on concepts such as transculturality, remediation and the archive. I am the editor of Stuart Hall. Aktivismus, Pop & Politik (Ventil Verlag, 2015), and co-editor of Queer Cinema, the first German-language volume on queer cinema studies (Ventil Verlag, 2018, with Simon Dickel). Together with Ingrid Stigsdotter I edited the special issue "Scandinavian cinema culture and archival practices: Collecting, curating and accessing moving image histories" of the Journal of Scandinavian Cinema (2017).

My research projects “The Lost Heritage: Improving Collaborations between Digital Film Archives (2021-2024) and “The Cultural Heritage of Moving Images” (2016-2018) have been financed by the Swedish Research Council.

I am the leader of the workgroup “Cultural Memory and Media” at NECS – Network of European Cinema Studies, and the initiator and co-chair of the regional workgroup MSA Nordic in the Memory Studies Association.

Teaching

I have been teaching film studies at Swedish universities (Växjö, Lund, Halmstad) since 1999. I have also regularly been teaching within the dept of gender studies at Södertörn University College.

At LNU I have been teaching the following courses: Samtida filmproduktion och –distribution, Filmens historia, World Cinema, Europeisk film, Dokumentärfilm, Film, arkiv och digital kultur, Representations of HIV/AIDS in Moving Images.

Within the Digital Humanities, Master Programme I am currently teaching two courses: Film, archive and digital culture and Film as a Research Tool.

Research

All of my current research projects are conducted within the research cluster for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS) at Linnaeus University.

The Lost Heritage: Improving Collaborations between Digital Film Archives (Swedish Research Council – Vetenskapsrådet 2021-2024)

Despite the ongoing digitisation of cultural heritage sector major parts of the Sweden’s audiovisual heritage is at risk of being forgotten. What do we miss if scholars and policy makers mainly focus on national film archival collections, both in terms of collection policies, preservation, and the curation of access? This project explores possible collaborations between the National Film Archives and minor Swedish film archives.

In collaboration with the Swedish Film Institute, filmform: The Art Film and Video Archive, Kulturparken Småland, SAQMI - The Swedish Archive for Queer Moving Images and The Face of Aids Film Archive.

Elin Wägner on the Screen (2018-)

Elin Wägner (1882-1949) was a Swedish writer, journalist, suffragette, peace activist and eco-critic. Less examined is her relationship with cinema. As a screenwriter Wägner was a filmmaking pioneer. Also some of her novels became film adaptations. In this project I study screenplay versions, drafts and letters to foreground the often overlooked artistic process involved in developing film adaptations. The project has two aims: first, to highlight Elin Wägner’s role for Swedish film history and 2) foreground the role of the screenplay in the process of transmediation.

In collaboration with the Elin Wägner Literary Society and Nordic Women in Film. Financed by IMS, Linnaeus University Centre (Lnuc) for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies; supported by Holger och Thyra Lauritzens stiftelse för främjande av filmhistorisk verksamhet.

Barbro Alving (Bang) in the Swedish film industry (2022-)

This archival side-project on female screenwriters in Sweden explores the role of prolific Swedish journalist Barbro Alving / Bang (1909-1987) in the Swedish film industry where she worked as a film critic and screenwriter, both authoring her own screenplays and improving others'.

In collaboration with Nordic Women in Film. Financed by IMS, Linnaeus University Centre (Lnuc) for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies.

Curating access to audiovisual heritage: creating and reworking memory in times of digitization (2019-2020)

Financed by Linnaeus University Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS), this project has been conducted in collaboration with bildwechsel (Hamburg), Filmarkivet.se (Svenska Filminstitutet, Stockholm), SAQMI - The Swedish Archive for Queer Moving Images (Gothenburg) and The Lesbian Home Movie Project (Maine).

The Cultural Heritage of Moving Images (Swedish Research Council / Vetenskapsrådet 2016-2018)

The project "The Cultural Heritage of moving images" examines the access practice of national and transnational digital film archives in Europe.

Merging the theoretical framework of both film studies and media memory studies (Erll, Rigney), this project sets out to examine the ambiguities and limitations of digital memories. One of its aims is to redirect the prevalent focus from studies of film preservation and restoration to curatorial strategies and ways of creating access. Drawing on the example of the current archival practices by two European film archives, the Swedish Film Institute (SFI) and the British Film Institute (BFI), the questions to be examined are: what are the challenges for these online archives when attempting to acknowledge the diversity of cultural memory? What power structures are involved when it comes to the selection, preservation, digitization and online exhibition of the archival stock, its access(ability) and its politics of representation?

As the construction of cultural heritage both include and excludes groups and individuals, this project also asks in what way the film archival and curatorial practice can enable or counter a sense of belonging. The project studies how curatorial decisions, the use of metadata and paratexts, can carve out discursive spaces for minorities within the remediation of cultural memory. This project offers new avenues of thinking for memory studies, archival studies, and museum studies.
