About

Toija Cinque is a leading scholar at the intersection of digital media, visual culture, and screen studies, whose work illuminates how technology reshapes human experience. Her research critically examines the materiality of digital futures, exploring how touch, movement, sound, and vision converge in everyday life—from workplace screens and smart home devices to social media and gaming platforms. In her highly cited 2022 work, "Materializing Digital Futures," Cinque unpacks the sensory and embodied dimensions of our increasingly screen-saturated world, offering a framework for understanding how digital interfaces mediate perception and interaction. She has also made notable contributions to celebrity and music culture studies, co-editing "David Bowie On-Screen" (2018), which analyzes the iconic artist’s transformative presence across music videos, television interviews, and live performances. This interdisciplinary work bridges media theory, cultural studies, and performance analysis, reflecting Cinque’s ability to connect high theory with popular culture. Her scholarship, though emerging in citation impact, is recognized for its innovative synthesis of digital materialism and visual media theory, positioning her as a vital voice in contemporary media studies. Cinque’s research continues to influence students and scholars seeking to understand the profound ways digital technologies are reshaping our sensory and social worlds.
