Angela Ndalianis is Research Professor in Media and Entertainment. Her research focuses on entertainment culture (films, video games, television, VR, comic books and theme parks) and the history of media technologies and how they mediate our experience of the world around us. Her expertise is in the transformative nature of media technologies – past and present – and how technologies impact on embodiment, the senses and perception. Her research focuses on the transhistorical and transcultural manifestation of the baroque as a perceptual regime driven by technological innovation. One of her passions is to explore the ramifications of many of these issues through the genres of horror and science fiction. Her publications include Neo-Baroque Aesthetics and Contemporary Entertainment (MIT Press 2004), Science Fiction Experiences (New Academia 2010), The Horror Sensorium: Media and the Senses (McFarland 2012) and the edited books The Contemporary Comic Book Superhero (editor, Routledge 2009), Neo-baroques: From Latin America to the Hollywood Blockbuster (co-editor, Rodopi Press/Brill 2016), and Fans and Videogames: Histories, Fandom, Archives (co-editor, Routledge, 2017.
