Mark Cauchi

Mark Cauchi is Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities at York University, specializing in continental philosophy, secularism/postsecularism, and film-philosophy intersections. His research examines how philosophical frameworks illuminate cultural production and political discourse.

Professor Cauchi analyzes representations of secularity in cinema, the philosophical underpinnings of religious pluralism, and ethical dimensions of visual culture. His edited volumes 'Cinema and Secularism' and 'Immanent Frames' establish new approaches to studying belief systems in contemporary media.

His scholarship demonstrates how filmic narratives reconfigure relationships between immanence and transcendence, particularly in works by directors like Lars von Trier and Terrence Malick.
