About

Kriss Ravetto‐Biagioli is a leading scholar at the intersection of film, media theory, and digital culture, whose work redefines the uncanny for the twenty-first century. Her primary research areas include digital aesthetics, visual culture, and the philosophical implications of emerging technologies. Ravetto‐Biagioli’s major contribution lies in expanding the concept of the uncanny beyond Freudian and robotic frameworks to encompass the eerie, ghostly effects of big data, parallel processing, and cloud computing. Her seminal papers, "The digital uncanny and ghost effects" (2016) and "Digital Uncanny" (2019), have garnered over 66 combined citations, establishing her as a pivotal voice in contemporary media studies. She argues that today’s uncanny is not merely a doubt about animacy but a pervasive sense of unease generated by algorithmic surveillance and aggregated data. Her work bridges film theory, philosophy, and digital studies, offering students and researchers a compelling lens through which to understand how technology reshapes human perception and identity. Ravetto‐Biagioli’s innovative scholarship continues to influence debates on posthumanism and the aesthetics of the digital age.
