Research interests

Within the field of audiovisual narrative, my main research interests focus on adaptation studies, screenwriting and television formats (more specifically, scripted series). My research tends to have a transcultural scope and/or subject matter, and it usually combines textual and hermeneutical analysis of audiovisual narratives with other qualitative methods, like in-depth interviews with screenwriters and producers.
