  • Thesis title: Elusive Translation: Film and video in the work of Zineb Sedira, Isaac Julien and Alia Syed

​

The main areas of my research examine the complex terrain of 'translation theory' (across a range of disciplines) in relation to my chosen artistic practices, and explores both its potential and limitations in developing ways to articulate intercultural and embodied identifications. My work presents a strong methodological contribution within art history and related fields of enquiry, since the 'translational turn' has been both prominent in this terrain and rather unquestioned. My work seeks to help reshape aspects of the discipline and form an innovative new methodology for the subject.
