Biography

Toni Pape is a researcher at the University of Amsterdam, where he is affiliated with the Television Cross-media team at the Amsterdam School of Cultural Analysis. He received his PhD from Université de Montréal in 2014. His main research interests are in media aesthetics and process philosophy, particularly focusing on the political dimensions of contemporary media aesthetics, including televisual narratives and video games. His forthcoming book, 'Aesthetics of Stealth' (MIT Press, 2024), develops a cultural theory of stealth as a form of tactical imperceptibility. Pape argues that the concept of stealth serves as a sociocultural response to the tracking capabilities of digital media technologies. His previous work, 'Figures of Time' (Duke, 2019), investigates nonlinear temporalities in recent television series and their alignment with the politics of preemption. He teaches courses in cross-media aesthetics, storytelling, video game studies, and media history at the Department of Media Studies and the Netherlands Institute of Cultural Analysis.
