Dudley Andrew, who has been appointed the R. Selden Rose Professor of Film and Comparative Literature, studies the relationship of cinema to cultures around the globe.
His areas of research include world cinema, with special attention on West Africa, Ireland, France and Japan; aesthetics, especially theories of the image and film among the arts; and French cinema and culture from the 1930s to the present day. His books "The Major Film Theories," "Concepts of Film Theory" and "Andre Bazin" (on the influential French film critic) were all published by Oxford University Press.
Other books by Andrew explore key films and filmmakers. These include "Film in the Aura of Art"; a source book on Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi; a presentation of Jean-Luc Godard's 1961 film "Breathless"; and a "British Film Institute Classic" on Mizoguchi's 1954 film "Sansho Dayu" (co-authored by Carole Cavanaugh). He is also author of "Mists of Regret: Culture and Sensibility in Classic French Film" and co-author (with Steven Ungar) of "Popular Front Paris: Between the Politics and Poetics of Culture." He is editor of "The Image in Dispute: Art and Cinema in the Age of Photography" and has written over 60 articles and book chapters, as well as numerous reviews.
Andrew earned a B.A. from the University of Notre Dame, an M.F.A. from Columbia University and a Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. He served on the faculty at the University of Iowa 1984-2000. There, he was founder of the Institute for Cinema and Culture, and directed 30 dissertations. He held the Angelo Bertocci Professorship in Critical Studies; chaired the Department of Comparative Literature; and was affiliated with the Departments of Communication Studies and English.
At Yale, Andrew is co-chair and director of graduate studies in film studies. He has organized conferences on Irish, Japanese and Balkan cinema, and co-edited a special issue of the Yale Journal of Criticism devoted to Irish cinema in 2002.
He has also organized film series for The Guggenheim Museum and the American Center in Paris; served as a film festival judge; and been invited to speak at institutions throughout the world. He is the chief consultant for Manchester University Press' French Directors Series and was a consultant for the PBS series "The Persistence of Surrealism" and "Visions of American Film." He serves on the editorial boards of Film Criticism and Journal of Film and Video, and has been a guest editor for several scholarly journals.
In recognition of his contributions to French cinema, Andrews was named Chevalier dans l'ordre des arts et lettres by the French Cultural Ministry. His numerous other honors include fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities, among others.
