Hi, I'm Ivan Ross.
I'm a filmmaker and a Ph.D. Candidate in the Dept. of Cinema and Media Studies at the Univ. of Chicago.
You can reach me by email: ivanross [at] uchicago [dot] edu.
My research and teaching interests include film and media theory, media archaeology, the historical avant-garde, U.S. experimental film, the romantic comedy film, and film and media production.
My dissertation, "Mediating the Historical Imagination: Visual Media and the U.S. Civil War, 1861-2011," offers a critical history of popular media representations of the U.S. Civil War, ranging from 1860s painted panoramas to 21st-century digital museum displays, along with the countless films, stereographs, magic lantern slides, and video games from the intervening years--with the ultimate goal of putting contemporary media theory and contemporary philosophy of history into conversation.
Curriculum Vitae
“‘En gros and out of focus’: History’s Bird’s-eye Media Metaphors,” Spectator 31, no. 1 (Spring 2011)
“Phosphene Polymorphisms and Dis Legomena,” a paper given at the conference "Critical Mass: The Legacy of Hollis Frampton" in February 2010
