Eleonora Meo
My principal research areas include visual culture and postcolonial studies, in particular my interests focus on racism, modernity, cultural identity and representation, cosmopolitanism and citizenship, feminisms and gender studies.
My work has a transdisciplinary and intersectional approach stemming from postcolonial and cultural studies and engaging with critical migration studies, critical theory, gender studies, visual culture studies and critical race theory. I am interested in relationships between cultural subjectivity and visual languages and modern citizenship, deepening how our understanding of citizenship is created, conditioned, and reshaped by social and institutional contexts in contemporary artistic and visual productions. My latest work was a comparative analysis between Italian and European visual representations of new forms of citizenship, questioning limits and potentialities of the visual culture response in Italy.
I translated some academic essays from english to italian, such as Stuart Hall, Paul Gilroy and Chandra T. Mohanty. I co-edited a book on the postcolonial theory and published some reviews and articles, including in peer-reviewed journals.
I spent several months abroad, attending conferences, art exhibitions, seminars and international summer schools, including a visiting period of four months in London during my PhD reasearch.
I have recently contributed with a video-lecture on Chandra Talpade Mohanty's feminism to the Project "Donne e Pensiero Politico (DoPP)" for the Istituto di Studi Storici Gaetano Salvemini of Tourin.
I am co-founder of Deco[K]now - Decolonizing Knowledge, a network of researchers, and a member of CSPG - Centro di Studi Postcoloniali e di Genere at University of Naples "L'Orientale".

Questo libro riflette sulle immagini che riproducono gerarchie razziali; sulle ambivalenze dei tentativi di (dis)fare la “razza”, mostrandola o viceversa occultandola; infine, sulla dimensione “contro-visuale” delle battaglie culturali e politiche esplicitamente anti-razziste
Con i contributi di Sandro Mezzadra, Stefano Visentin, Raffaella Baritono, Fabio Frosini, Sandro Chignola, Fiorenzo Iuliano, Miguel Mellino, Lidia Curti, Barbara Aramini e la postfazione di Iain Chambers.
