Angelo Restivo Angelo Restivo (Ph.D.,
University of Southern California, 1997) is an Assistant Professor
and Director of the Moving Image Studies program degree track. His
degree work at USC focused on Critical Studies in the Cinema-TV
School there. Restivo’s book, The Cinema of Economic Miracles:
Visuality and Modernization in the Italian Art Film (Duke 2002),
examines how the cinema (and more generally, visual culture) articulates
the relationship between economic modernization and the transformation
of national space. His continuing work on European cinema is the
subject of his next major book project. He also has research interests
in emerging developments in film theory, as his guest edited volume
of Spectator on “The New Psychoanalysis” demonstrates.
Restivo’s work has recently explored images of the body, time
and space as they are enacted in pornography (e.g., several of his
co-authored essays with R. Cante have recently been published in
books on the topic, including in Linda Williams, ed., Porn Studies
[Duke 2004], and in Pamela Church Gibson, ed., More Dirty Looks
[BFI 2004]). Restivo has been the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship
to Rome, Italy and a National Endowment of the Arts/American Film
Institute Fellowship in film production. He blends a knowledge gained
from hands-on productions in film with theories of film and culture
to produce intriguing insights into moving image studies. Research
Areas: Film theory; European cinema; Cultural studies; Critical
theory. Degree Track Affiliations: Ph.D. (Moving Image Studies),
M.A. (Film/Video). Core Graduate Seminars Regularly Taught: Style
and Narrative Analysis; Advanced Film Theory; International Cinemas;
