معرفی
Eve Meltzer is an Associate Professor of Visual Studies at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, New York University, and an affiliated faculty member in the Department of Art History. She holds a B.A. in Studio Art and Comparative Literature from Brown University (1993), an M.A. in Rhetoric from the University of California, Berkeley (1998), and a Ph.D. in Rhetoric from UC Berkeley (2003).
Her research bridges modern and contemporary art history, photographic and film theory, and philosophical discourses such as psychoanalysis, structuralism, and affect theory. Central to her work are questions of subjectivity, visuality, and belonging. Her first book, Systems We Have Loved: Conceptual Art, Affect, and the Antihumanist Turn (2013), examines conceptual art through structuralist thought. Her upcoming book, Not Me, Mine, Ours: Belonging and Psychic Life After Photography, explores the interplay of psyche and visual media, including analyses of Raoul Peck’s I Am Not Your Negro and works by artists like Candice Breitz.
Meltzer’s courses address themes such as the photographic imaginary, race in visual culture, and psychoanalysis’s intersection with art. Recent scholarly engagement includes a lecture at the University of Pennsylvania on her forthcoming book, emphasizing the role of “the negative” in visual and psychic dynamics.
