Katarzyna Marciniak Author & Editor

Katarzyna Marciniak is associate professor of transnational studies in the English Department at Ohio University.

She is the author of Alienhood: Citizenship, Exile, and the Logic of Difference (University of Minnesota Press, 2006), coeditor of Transnational Feminism in Film and Media (Palgrave, 2007), and guest coeditor of a special issue of Feminist Media Studies on 'Transcultural Mediations and Transnational Politics of Difference' (November 2009).

Kamil Turowski, a graduate of the National Film School in Łódź and the American Film Institute in Los Angeles, specializes in short films, animations, and photo narratives. His early education in English philology gives a kaleidoscopic vision to his projects. Their semantic quiverings echo literary and philosophical sources, creating new visual territories and emotional intrigue. Turowski is also the author of the Polish-English translation of Dawid Sierakowiak: Five Notebooks from the Łódź Ghetto (Oxford University Press, 1996), now part of the canon of Holocaust literature. His films and photography have received recognition and support from the Sherwood Anderson Foundation, the Kosciuszko Foundation, Dora Wood Artiste Fund, Ohio Arts Council and the National Endowments for the Arts.
