My research explores digital cultures in Latin America, with a particular focus on the use speculative fiction and multi-media objects, from comics to video games, to expose and contest the shifting power dynamics of the information age.

My most recent monograph is Twins and Recursion in Digital, Literary and Visual Cultures (Bloomsbury Academic: 2022), which traces the ways in which twins have been used in different fields of knowledge and representational practices to map the increasingly intricate entanglements of human subjects and their technological and natural environments.

Other published monographs include Science Fiction and Digital Technologies in Argentine and Brazilian Culture (Palgrave: 2013); Virtual Orientalism in Brazilian Culture (Palgrave: 2015); and Posthumanism and the Graphic Novel in Latin America (UCL Press, 2017; co-authored with Joanna Page).

As PI on the AHRC-funded project ‘Challenging Algorithmic Racism Through Digital Cultures in Brazil,’ I am currently working on a monograph that explores intersections between video game cultures and racial capitalism in Brazil and co-producing a video game that raises critical awareness of algorithmic biases.

I am also co-director of the Centre for Creative Technologies, which collaborates with the Pervasive Media Studio to provide a community for colleagues across the Faculty of Arts working with or on creative technologies – whether analogue or digital – from film and print to gaming and VR.
