Dr. Carla Mereu Keating is an Honorary Senior Research Associate in the Department of Film and Television at the University of Bristol. Her expertise spans International film trade, fascism, nationalism, ethnicity, identity, intersectional feminism, and technology-culture intersections. She holds a PhD, MA, and BA, though specific institutions are not detailed. Her research focuses on gendered labor in film industries, transnational censorship, and archival studies of Italian cinema history.
Key research themes include the socio-political dimensions of film production under Fascism, the role of dubbing in cultural translation, and the material and spatial histories of film studios. She explores how cinema functions as a tool for diplomacy and soft power, particularly in Italy's historical context. Her work often incorporates archival research to uncover marginalized labor narratives, challenging dominant historiographies of film production.
Her recent publications analyze Italy-China film agreements, gender dynamics in studio workforces, and the acoustic transitions in early sound cinema. Keating’s interdisciplinary approach bridges film studies, cultural history, and labor sociology, contributing to global debates on media’s socio-political agency.
Keating’s affiliations include the University of Bristol’s Film Department and collaborations with institutions like IAMHIST. She is based at The Richmond Building, Queens Road, Bristol, and accessible via c.mereukeating@bristol.ac.uk.
