Abstract
Maureen Turim is professor of English and film studies at the University of Florida. She is author of Abstraction in Avant-Garde Films (Ann Arbor: UMI Research Press, 1985), Flashbacks in Film: Memory and History (New York: Routledge, 1989), and The Films of Oshima Nagisa: Images of a Japanese Iconoclast (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998). She has also published over seventy essays in anthologies and journals on a wide range of theoretical, historical, and aesthetic issues in cinema and video, art, cultural studies, feminist and psychoanalytic theory, and comparative literature. Several of these essays have appeared in translation in French and German. She has also written catalog essays for museum exhibitions. Her new book project, “Desire and Its Ends: The Driving Forces of Recent Cinema, Literature, and Art,” will look at the different ways desire structures narratives and images in various cultural traditions, and the way our very notion of desire may be shaped by these representations.
