معرفی
Lola Rémy is a FRQSC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of English at McGill University's Faculty of Arts, specializing in Cultural Studies with expertise in North American cinema across the 20th and 21st centuries. Her research investigates experimental film archives as sites of cultural encounters, gendered violence, and community reappropriation.
Dr. Rémy earned her PhD in Film and Moving Image Studies from Concordia University in 2023 and an MA in Art History from Université Paris Sorbonne – Paris 4 in 2016. Her doctoral work examined women's affective labor in film archiving through oral histories.
Her primary research focuses on experimental film, feminist historiography, and affect theory, with specific attention to women's labor in founding and managing film archives. Current projects like "Affect in the Archive: An Alternative History of the Avant-Garde" reframe archival work as care labor rooted in personal filmmaker relationships, positioning women as central agents in experimental cinema's circulation and preservation.
Recent publications reveal evolving trends from Indigenous animated cartographies (2018) to material knowledge in film quilts (2022) and Harry Smith's collecting practices (2024). Her work consistently bridges archival theory, feminist critique, and media materiality across journals like NECSUS and Frames Cinema Journal.
Key recognitions include:
- Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture Postdoctoral Fellowship (2023-2026)
- Rockefeller Archive Center Research Stipend (2020)
- Mitacs Globalink Research Award (2022)
- Concordia University Stand-Out Graduate Research Award (2019)
Dr. Rémy's research is supported by major fellowships including the FRQSC Postdoctoral Fellowship and Rockefeller stipend, with no documented student supervision. She contributes to academic discourse through edited volumes like "The Labour of Media (Studies)" and active participation in film archival communities.
