Javier Guerrero’s research focuses on intersection visual culture and sexuality in twentieth and twenty-first century Latin America. His scholarship centers on the body, exploring unexpected ways it participates in its own material processes, transforming and deploying novel technologies to destabilize the symbolic sphere of sex. Guerrero has extensively examined the multiple metamorphoses the body has undergone in contemporary art, cinema, and literature. In recent years, he has emphasized the new conditions associated with matters of darkness and synthetic bodies, encouraging reevaluations of knowledge traditionally defined by binary oppositions. He has authored and edited several significant works, including "Escribir después de morir. El archivo y el más allá," and "Tecnologías del cuerpo. Exhibicionismo y visualidad en América Latina," thus contributing to critical dialogues around visual culture and memory in Latin America. Currently, he serves as Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Princeton and is deeply engaged in various academic committees and projects. Guerrero is also involved in organizing symposia, panels, and special projects that promote interdisciplinary dialogue in visuality, politics, and culture, and he has garnered recognition in the field through awards and leadership roles within professional associations.
