Eleonora Diamanti teaches courses in media studies and social sciences, from core courses such as Media, Culture and Society to Introduction to Visual Culture to more specialized courses on urban culture such as Urban Media and Rome Modern City. Professor Diamanti holds a Ph.D. in Semiotics (2015) from the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and she is a former post-doctoral fellow at McGill University’s School of Architecture where she was affiliated to the Facility for Architectural Research in Media and Mediation and the Department of Anthropology, University of Victoria, where she was also limited-term Assistant professor. Her main research interests in festivals, media, and the city brought her to work on nocturnal practices: from entertainment venues, like Italian discotheques, to radical spaces at night through an aesthetic creative approach. She has recently published the co-edited issue “Nocturnal Ethnographies” (2022) and she has submitted a book manuscript titled “Night Cinemas: Documentary and Audiovisual Ethnography in Cuba” (2024). The book stems from long-standing research on the night in Eastern Cuba, and was preceded by the short experimental and ethnographic film, co-directed with Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier, “Guardians of the Night” (2018) on the night in Eastern Cuba. Professor Diamanti takes a special interest in creative feminist writing and multimodal projects. In 2022, she co-curated an online exhibit on visual activism in Guantanamo for the “After Progress digital exhibition” and in 2024 she took part with a multi-media installation in the “Night Scenes” exhibit organized by the Atelier de chronotopie urbaine of UQAM at the Nuit Blanche in Montréal.
