Resumoelizabeth cowie is Professor of Film Studies at the School of Drama, Film, and Visual Arts at the University of Kent, Canterbury. She published Representing the Woman: Cinema and Psychoanalysis (University of Minnesota Press, 1997), and has recently written on the horror of the horror film; on cinematic dream-work; and on documentary film, memory, and trauma in Alain Resnais's Hiroshima mon amour, and on Jean Rouch and surrealism. Her essay in Camera Austria on the work of Milica Tomić, a Yugoslav video artist committed to working politically in art, focuses on the role of trauma as the unrepresentable figured in Tomić's work. A similar focus arises in her commentary accompanying Juan delGado's video work “Who are you entertaining to?” in Aspect: The Chronicle of New Media Art. She is currently completing a book on documentary film and video theory and practice.
