Dr. Bryan Cameron

Biography

Bryan Cameron’s research centers on modern Spanish culture with a focus on literary, filmic, and ideological production from the eighteenth century to the present. His book-length project, entitled 'Paternity Tests: Destabilized Authority in the Late-Nineteenth-Century Spanish Novel', examines fraught representations of patrilineal succession in works by notable authors such as Leopoldo Alas (‘Clarín’), Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, Narcís Oller, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Benito Pérez Galdós, and Alejandro Sawa. Another significant project, titled 'Dystopia: Reclaiming the Future Crisis in Post-Crisis Cinema of Spain, 2008-2018', analyzes how Spanish filmmakers sought new conceptual, historical, and aesthetic tools to envision reality in the context of cultural and economic crises. Additionally, Bryan has worked extensively on the cultural output during the crisis in Spain and its aftermath, conducting research into protest movements from 15-M and the narrative documentary cinema, as well as visual and print media from 1975 to the present. He welcomes inquiries from potential MPhil and PhD students whose research interests align with his.
