Curriculum Vitae

Caterina Cucinotta

Italian, born in Messina (1980) and resident in Portugal since 2005. My work develops at the intersection of different lines of research, from Costume Studies to constructing a history of cinema from below the line, from investigating the circulation of creative processes through public and private archives to the historiography of cinema with a particular attention on women costume designers. Holding a Ph.D. in Communication Sciences from NOVA University of Lisbon, with my thesis on Film studies (2015), I am a post-doctoral fellowship (SFRH/BPD/115835/2016) researcher at the Institute of Contemporary history (IHC) of the same university, where I¿m current head of working group CIP Cultures, Identities and Power, with the project 'Costumes and Space Texture: Design and Art in the last 50 years of Portuguese Cinema'. Following a degree (Palermo, 2003) and a master degree (Bologna, 2006) in D.A.M.S. (Disciplines of arts, music and spectacle), 'A trip to cinema via film costume' is the title of my first monographic (LabCom, 2018, Open access). The FCT scholarships (Ph.D. and post-Ph.D.) ensured the opportunity to expand my work as visiting researcher in various institutions in London, Bari, Madrid and Rome. Having trained as a journalist in the second half of the 1990s, I apply the Oral History methodology as a primary source for a 'from below' construction of a history of cinema through its crafts. In 2017, as a freelance journalist, I coordinated the first project dedicated to the work of women in the Portuguese film industry on Costume Design and Production Design, developing bibliographic and biographic data for a field of study yet to emerge in Portugal. In Costume Design, I have collaborated on numerous productions with Portuguese directors and producers since 2007. I currently lecture at Rey Juan Carlos University of Madrid, with a particular interest in researching, teaching and writing about the materiality turn of visual culture as a point of departure for an expanded study of Costume studies in Film Studies through textile archives.
