Dr. Fernando Fabio Sánchez received his Ph.D. from University of Colorado at Boulder. He specializes in 20th- and 21st-Century Latin American literature, culture, and film, with an emphasis on Mexico. He teaches courses on this area and related subjects both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
His current research focuses on the relationship between modernity and modes of representation in literature, painting, photography, film, and mass media. He is presently working on a book-length manuscript that analyzes the interplay between crime, nation, and art in post-revolutionary Mexico, Artful Assassins: Murder as a Post-National Art in Modern Mexico. He has also embarked on the editing of a collection of essays written by scholars from Mexico, Canada, England, and the United States that studies the relationship between cinema and the Mexican Revolution from 1911 to 2008. The book will be titled La luz y la guerra: el cine de la Revolución Mexicana (Light and War: The Film of the Mexican Revolution).
He is also part of the organizing committee of Cine-Lit, a biannual conference devoted to literature and film that takes place in Portland, Oregon.
Professor Sánchez has also published fiction and poetry.
