Biography
Dr. Kelli Fuery completed her B.A. (Hons) at Macquarie University in Critical and Cultural Studies, graduating in 1995 with First Class Honors. Before joining Chapman University, she held posts in contemporary film, media and cultural studies at Monash University; the University of Newcastle, Australia; and in the (now) School of Film, Media and Cultural Studies, Birkbeck College, University of London. She completed her PhD (2005) at Murdoch University in Critical Theory, Film and Visual Culture. Her research explores why we mediate the world around us in the ways that we do, examining how our inner worlds influence the social and cultural contexts which influence our choices. Focusing on various modes within visual culture, Fuery is interested in the poisoning and mechanics of power and knowledge, the assembly and dismantling of structures, and the role ethics plays in the exchange of aesthesis. She is the author of five books, including Visual Cultures and Critical Theory (co-authored, 2003), New Media: Culture and Image (2009), The Gift and Visual Culture: Doubles, Disruption and Exchange (2008), Wilfred Bion, Thinking and Emotional Experience with Moving Images (2018), and most recently, Ambiguous Cinema: From Simone de Beauvoir to Feminist Film-Phenomenology (2022). Her sixth book is an edited collection titled Film Phenomenologies: Temporality, Embodiment, Transformation, forthcoming 2024 with Edinburgh University Press. She is a founding scholar for the British Psychoanalyst Council, an Editorial Board Member for Film-Philosophy journal and Special Issues Editor for Film Maters.
