其他摘要：Catherine Grant was a keynote speaker at the seventh annual meeting of
the Association of Moving Image Researchers. The event was co-organised
by the Communication and Society Research Centre (CECS) of the
University of Minho, Braga, where it was held in May 2017. Her talk on
that occasion was about the audiovisual portrait-homage and what it can do
to contribute to film star studies. This interview took place afterwards,
away from the hustle and bustle of the conference. She is very much the
same academic I met more than a decade ago as a student and teaching
assistant at the University of Kent. Given how passionate she is about
interdisciplinary cinema studies, one might think that her academic life
was just starting — as if it’s impossible to maintain the same level of
enthusiasm after years of hard and influential work. As her career
developed and she has looked for new ways of creating and sharing
knowledge in the expanding territory of combining images and sounds, she
has constantly started over, not from scratch, but afresh. That is why
changes in research focus and institutional affiliation abound in her career.
As this conversation was held, she was about to move from the University
of Sussex to Birkbeck, University of London, to take up a position as
Professor of Digital Media and Screen Studies. It was the right time to
reflect on the past and to discuss the future.
