About

Christine Evans holds a Ph.D in Film Studies from The University of Kent, Canterbury, where her dissertation explored how Slavoj Žižek’s work on love and universality has influenced film theory and film philosophy. Her research focuses on the intersections between film theory, continental philosophy, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and love. She has published primarily on cinema as it relates to Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, the work of Slavoj Žižek, and philosophical conceptions of love. She has also published and presented work on a breadth of interdisciplinary topics as varied as tautology and Hegel, David Cronenberg’s male melodramas and shame, Stella Dallas and liberal humanism, love and Samuel Barber’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Søren Kierkegaard and neighbour love, queerness and homosociality, popular music and universality, and economies of worth and waste.

She is currently working on a book project entitled Cinema’s Temporal Epistemologiesthat examines the externality of thought, meaning, and knowledge in cinema. She plans to follow this project with a close reading of André Bazin’s work on love in cinema, arguing that Bazin positions love as an alternative mode that radicalizes epistemology.
