Biography
Although an historian of art and literature by training, with experience of teaching most periods of European cultural history, most of my research has been related to more “contemporary” topics. I have studied visual art, visual communication and visual art criticism after 1950, especially from a semiotic point of view. Since 1998 I have been affiliated with Nordic and international networks for interdisciplinary research in the humanities.
