Interview with Prof Hjort Anne Mette, Chair Prof of Film and Media from LCS

My background is very interdisciplinary, encompassing training in Art History, Theatre, Film and Media Studies, and Philosophy (both analytic and Continental). My first book, published by Harvard University Press, was a study of anti-theatricality in 16th century England and 17th century France, a study, that is, on why influential groups vigorously contested the value of theatre, going so far, even, to see it as a source of various harms. I have a great love of theatre myself and at one time, in Montreal, I was a member of a German theatre group that performed at the Centaur Theatre in Old Montreal. However, most of my research contributions fall under Cinema Studies. My research has been quite issues-driven and I have focused on questions related to: creativity under constraint, risk, sustainability, talent development, soft power, transnational collaboration, human rights, health and well-being, public value, and small nations, all in the context of film. It is my hope that my commitment to interdisciplinarity will be helpful in the context of both the Department and the Faculty. As I understand it, there may also be scope to develop some interesting programmes at the Masters level that could draw on some of my interests, networks, etc.
