Boulou de B’béri undertakes research in the areas of film and cultural studies, Black African and national cinema, identity and oral tradition in multi-cultural nations, ‘intermediality’ in political creations, and cultural representation. He has authored two books: Mapping Alternative Expressions of Blackness in Cinema (Bayreuth, Germany) and Au-delà discours l’expérience du “Verbe” dans les cinémas d’Afrique noire (Beyond Discourses: The Experience of the “Verb” in Black African Cinemas), which is forthcoming with Laval University Press. His current research focuses on the articulations of identity-politics in some audiovisual narratives produced in the Americas (including North America), Africa, and Australia, focusing on specific cultures and groups of identity formation that have faced various forms of colonialism.
