Alongside this research on fashion imagery and media, Dr Rees-Roberts has an established research profile in contemporary French cinema, culture and critical theory with particular emphasis on questions of identity, gender and sexuality. French Queer Cinema, his first monograph, was published by Edinburgh University Press in 2008. This was followed by Homo exoticus: race, classe et critique queer, co-written by Maxime Cervulle, published by Armand Colin and INA (Institut national de l’audiovisuel) in 2010. Homo exoticus examined questions of race and queer sexuality in contemporary French media-culture. Press coverage for the book included interviews and reviews in Le Monde and Libération. Future cinema publications include articles on directors Xavier Dolan and Christophe Honoré.
With Dr Darren Waldron from the University of Manchester, Nick is co-editing a volume on screen icon Alain Delon for Bloomsbury Publishing in 2014. His own contribution takes a comparative look at the reception of the star’s image and fashion label in both European and Asian consumer cultures. This transnational focus on fashion and consumption builds on a previous publication on heritage and co-branding, “Men of Mode: Alain Delon, Christian Dior and Brand Heritage,” published in the journal Film, Fashion and Consumption in 2011.
Dr Rees-Roberts has a BA (Hons) in Modern Languages from Oxford University and a DPhil in Media and Cultural Studies from the University of Sussex.
Before being appointed to a lectureship at Bristol in 2007, Dr Rees-Roberts was an associate lecturer in English, Film and Media Studies in France (2002-7) teaching at the Universities of Nancy II, Paris III (Sorbonne Nouvelle) and Paris-Dauphine, and at the CELSA, University of Paris IV (Sorbonne).
