  Kriss Ravetto-Bi­a­gi­oli, As­so­ci­ate Pro­fes­sor of Tech­no­cul­tural Stud­ies (UC Davis, US) is film and media scholar whose work fo­cuses on the prob­lem of rep­re­sent­ing and the­o­riz­ing the vi­o­lence pro­duced by na­tion build­ing, eth­no­cen­trism, and sex­ism in a man­ner that does not play into a vi­cious cycle where moral­ism, media im­ages, and lan­guage pro­duce their own forms of vi­o­lence. She has pub­lished ar­ti­cles on film, per­for­mance, in­stal­la­tion art, and new media in Cam­era Ob­scura, Film Quar­terly, Third Text, PAJ, Rep­re­sen­ta­tions, Screen, Third Text and nu­mer­ous col­lected vol­umes. Her in­ter­est in the “dig­i­tal un­canny” and the cul­ture of sur­veil­lance has in­spired “Re­coded” – the large in­ter­na­tional con­fer­ence on the pol­i­tics and land­scapes of new media.
