Bio

Dr. Margit Grieb received her Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 2003 and joined the University of South Florida in the same year as Assistant Professor of German.

In her forthcoming publication Transformations: German Film in the Wake of New Media she focuses on German cinema and new media productions and examines the aesthetic and formal representation of emergent media embedded within the “older” representational system of the cinema. She is also co-editor of and contributor to the forthcoming Cultural Perspectives on Film, Literature, and Language (with Will Lehman).

She has published articles on videogames, German cinema and television, German theatrical productions, New German Cinema, film restoration, and on the intersections of new media and avant garde film. She has also presented papers at various conferences on Wim Wenders’ feature films, popular German film, Brecht’s Epic Theater, German artistic projections of Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians in theme parks and film, and the Internet as a medium for foreign language teaching.

In the Department of World Languages Dr. Grieb teaches courses on German film, literature, language, and culture. She directs the USF Film Studies Certificate Program and serves as faculty consultant to the USF German Culture Club and the USF Film Club. She is affiliated faculty in the Department of Humanities and Cultural Studies as well as the Department of Women's and Gender Studies.
