François Quiviger is an Associate Fellow at the Warburg Institute, part of the University of London's School of Advanced Study. Born in France and educated in Canada with a B.A. and M.A. in Art History from the University of Montréal, he joined the Warburg Institute in 1983 where he completed his PhD in Combined Historical Studies. Quiviger has held multiple roles at the Institute since 1987, including librarian, webmaster, researcher, and teacher, serving as curator of digital resources from 2010 to 2016. Since October 2016, he has been an Associate Fellow while also serving as general editor of the Renaissance Lives series for Reaktion Books. His research primarily focuses on the history of cognition and sensation as it relates to the making and reception of images and the relationship between humans and nature. Quiviger has published extensively on early modern art and art theories, Renaissance academies, music, wine culture, and banqueting traditions. His notable works include The Sensory World of Italian Renaissance Art (2010) and Leonardo da Vinci: Self, Art and Nature (2019), with his upcoming biography Bernard Palissy and the Arts of the Earth scheduled for 2025. From 2002 to 2016, Quiviger developed and raised funds for the Institute's digitization program, creating a free online electronic library of out-of-print sources including early printed texts on Renaissance academies, art theory, Arabic astrology, and Giordano Bruno's works, along with 10,000 images of early illustrated books available through the Warburg Institute Iconographic Database. His recent scholarly output shows a continued focus on sensory studies, with publications examining topics such as the River Jordan in Western art, tuning figures in early modern art, and panpsychism in Bernard Palissy's work. His research demonstrates a consistent interest in how Renaissance thinkers understood the relationship between humans, nature, and artistic creation through multiple sensory channels. Quiviger has taught yearly seminars on the Survival of Classical art, Renaissance academies, art theories, early modern art, decorative arts, and material culture for the Warburg Institute's MA course, the V&A - RCA MA in the History of Design, and the UCL MA in Reception of the Classical World, sharing his expertise with multiple generations of students.

Tiago de Luca is Associate Professor in Film Studies at the University of Warwick, Faculty of Arts, where he serves as Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Film & Television Studies. His academic journey began with a BA in Communication Studies from the State University of São Paulo (UNESP), followed by an MA in Film Studies from UCL, and culminated in a PhD in World Cinemas from the University of Leeds. De Luca's scholarly profile centers on world cinema studies with particular expertise in slow cinema, cinematic realism, planetary cinema, and Brazilian/Latin American film traditions. He serves on the editorial board of the Contemporary Cinema book series and co-edits the Film Thinks book series (Bloomsbury) with Lúcia Nagib. His research has been supported by prestigious fellowships, including a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship (2018-19) that funded his monograph Planetary Cinema: Film, Media and the Earth (2022). His publications reveal an evolving trajectory from early work on sensory realism in world cinema toward more recent explorations of planetary imaginaries, elemental ecocriticism, and intermedial approaches to understanding cinema's relationship with the Earth. His scholarship consistently bridges historical and theoretical perspectives, connecting nineteenth-century media culture with contemporary film practices to address questions of global representation and environmental crisis. Among his significant contributions are the award-winning edited volume Towards an Intermedial History of Brazilian Cinema (2022), which won the Edited Collection of the Year MeCCSA 2023, and Slow Cinema (2016), the first comprehensive anthology on this cinematic trend. His single-authored works Realism of the Senses in World Cinema (2014) and Planetary Cinema (2022) have established him as a key voice in contemporary film studies, with the latter proposing that exploration of nineteenth-century media culture can help us understand contemporary planetary imaginaries in times of environmental collapse. As an educator, De Luca teaches courses including World Cinema (FI204) and Contemporary Latin American Cinema (FI344/FI934), welcoming PhD projects related to his research areas. His leadership as Director of Graduate Studies demonstrates his commitment to mentoring the next generation of film scholars, while his ongoing research continues to shape contemporary debates in film studies through innovative approaches to planetary representation and intermedial analysis.

Valérie Huet serves as Professor of Ancient History at the University of Brest, affiliated with the Breton and Celtic Research Center (CRBC, EA 4451). Her academic profile centers on interdisciplinary approaches bridging historical, anthropological, and visual studies of Roman antiquity. Her educational background includes a Doctorate in History and Art History from EHESS (School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences), an HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) from EPHE (École Pratique des Hautes Études) in Religious Studies, and training from the École du Louvre in Museology. She currently directs the Jean-Bérard Center (UAR 3133 CNRS-EFR). Huet's research explores Roman religion through anthropological lenses, focusing on image anthropology (particularly historical and funerary reliefs), ritual practices (including sacrifice and banqueting), and bodily expressions (costume, gestures, identity construction). Her work examines how visual culture intersects with religious experience, political power (notably damnatio memoriae), and cultural identity formation in antiquity. She has pioneered approaches connecting material evidence with ritual performance theory. Her publication record demonstrates sustained engagement with Mediterranean ritual systems, evidenced through 15 recent scholarly outputs spanning archaeological analysis, iconographic studies, and theoretical frameworks. These works reveal consistent thematic threads: the materiality of religious practice, cross-cultural adaptation of religious imagery, and the political dimensions of visual representation in Roman contexts. Huet actively supervises doctoral research, currently mentoring three PhD candidates examining gentile cults in early Republican Rome, anthropological approaches to fear in Roman society, and Dougga's altars and cippi through iconographic analysis. Her academic leadership extends to directing major research centers and coordinating international collaborative projects.

Javier Luri Rodríguez serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Specific Didactics at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), operating within the branch of Social and Legal Sciences with a specialized focus on Didactics of Plastic Expression under Educational Sciences. His research program critically examines the convergence of film theory, visual arts pedagogy, and technological innovation. Key investigations explore how immersive cinema reconfigures bodily engagement with moving images, the historical evolution of spectatorship from 19th-century visual tourism to contemporary digital environments, and the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence on creative media production—particularly in cinematic screenwriting education. Recent publications (2019-2025) demonstrate a cohesive analytical thread tracing the spectator's journey through technological transformations of visual culture. Works consistently interrogate the dialectic between image mobility and embodied perception, from mobile panoramas to AI-generated content, revealing how technological mediation reshapes cultural consumption and artistic creation across historical periods. Dr. Luri Rodríguez maintains active scholarly engagement through his ORCID profile (0000-0003-2086-3797) and institutional correspondence at javier.luri@ulpgc.es, contributing to foundational discourse in visual media education without documented external funding or formal advising roles.
