In January 2010, Nadine Boljkovac defended her University of Cambridge PhD thesis (passed without corrections), ‘Untimely Affects: Violence and Sensation through Marker and Resnais’ (Dr Emma Wilson, Cambridge, Supervisor; Dr Ian James, Cambridge, Examiner and Advisor; Professor James Williams, Dundee, External Examiner), following the completion of her MA (Theoretical, Critical, Historical Film Studies, York University, Canada), and Honours BA (Cinema Studies and English, University of Toronto, Canada). Her research explores affect, temporality (‘l’image-temps’), sensation and violence in relation to postwar cinema and twentieth century philosophy and modern thought.
Recipient of the Norman
Jewison Fellowship in Film Studies (University of Toronto), George Vari Graduate
Award in Film and Video (York University) and Marion Kennedy Continuing
Research Studentship (Newnham College, Cambridge University), and selected for
a SSHRC Canadian Government Scholarship, Nadine obtained her MA in 2004 with a prize-nominated thesis.
Throughout 2004 to date, Nadine participated nationally and internationally in conferences and was Convener of Cambridge University’s first film conference organised by a graduate student in 2005, ‘Cinema, War and a Society of the Spectacle’. Two PhD thesis chapter excerpts have been published (Continuum; Peter Lang); Nadine is deeply honoured to learn that a third PhD excerpt will be published (March 2011) in a collection that will pay tribute to the works of incomparable Professor Barbara Godard. With publications in the UK and abroad, Nadine thoroughly enjoys research and lecturing, and hopes to honour those whom have inspired her.
