Javier Guerrero’s research focuses on visual culture and sexuality in twentieth and twenty-first century Latin America. His scholarship centers on the body and explores the ways it participates in material processes, transforming and deploying novel technologies to destabilize the symbolic sphere of sex. He traces the metamorphoses the body has undergone in contemporary art, cinema, and literature, notably at the intersections of media. In recent years, Guerrero has investigated the new conditions of darkness, synthetic bodies, and archiving, prompting reevaluations of knowledge traditionally defined by binary oppositions. An author of several books, including 'Escribir después de morir. El archivo y el más allá' and 'Tecnologías del cuerpo. Exhibicionismo y visualidad en América Latina', he has also edited and co-edited numerous works and guest-edited special volumes in peer-reviewed journals. Currently, he is the Director of Undergraduate Studies and Acting Director of the Program in Latin American Studies at Princeton University, where he is involved in various committees related to Gender and Sexuality studies as well as the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in the Humanities.
