Amgad Serour

Research Interests:
I grew up in Egypt. I received a BA in French from Cairo University and an MA, again in French, from the University of Western Ontario. In my MA work I looked at the role of different media—novels, films and graphic novels—in defining the relationship between imagination, memory and space. My doctoral work focuses on spectatorship and imagination in French twentieth-century avant-garde cinema and literature. I research how avant-garde cinema and literature in interwar and postwar France participated in the emergence of new ways of spectating and imagining space, memory, and history.
