Kate Rennebohm
Recently a visiting faculty member at Harvard University, Kate Rennebohm is currently a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at Concordia University. There, she is working on a book manuscript titled Reviewing the Self-Image: Ethics, Politics, and Moving Image Media. which argues for “self-viewing” as both a structuring phenomenon of moving image media in the 20th century and one that introduced new frameworks of ethical thought and political praxis. Her writing has been published in October, Moving Image Review and Art Journal, Cinema Scope, the edited collection Movies with Stanley Cavell in Mind, and she is the co-editor of the recent Screen dossier “Projecting Cavell: New Contexts, New Questions.” Her essay on “enforced skepticism” is also forthcoming in Critical Inquiry.
