Francisco Quinteiro Pires is a journalist and cultural critic with a Ph.D. from New York University. He teaches courses on Latin American, Latino, Luso-Brazilian, and Lusophone African literatures and cultures. His book project, Sensory Colonialism: Space and Memory in Afro-Luso-Brazilian Cinema (Liverpool University Press), analyzes the relationships between literature and films produced in Portuguese- and Creole-speaking societies in the early twenty-first century.
His next book project examines the intersections of the arts, sensory studies, and health humanities in Latin American and Luso-Brazilian artistic and literary contexts. This research investigates how artistic, philosophical, shamanic, and medical practices produce meanings that contest biomedical paradigms characterized by violence and eugenic ideologies.
