| Introduction | I am a food and media researcher working at Università dell' Insubria, Como, and at the Catholic University of Milan. In the past, I taught and researched at Bournemouth, La Sapienza Rome, IULM Milan, Stirling and IUAV Venezia. I have been a journalist, and a comics and TV writer for many years. My PhD, gained at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, is a comparison between Italian and British food culture and food TV. Another strand of research involves meat, cultured meat and their links to the living animal, death, religion, blood, gender and the relationships between Nature and Culture. In 2012, I was awarded the Santander Grant Fund for the research Edible Lies: How Nazi Propaganda Represented Meat to Demonise the Jews, and I have also investigated meat representations in the propaganda of the Italian regency of Fiume, Italian Fascism and East Germany regime. I have published a book on the Italian film director Liliana Cavani and various articles and book chapters on food and media studies. Currently, I am a member of the Semiotic Society of America and of the International Society for Cultural History. http://uninsubria.academia.edu/FrancescoBuscemiPhD |
