Personal profile
Research areas
Helle Malmvig’s research focuses on international politics of the Middle East. She is particularly interested in aesthetic and popular cultural discourses and practices of war, ethnic and sectarian identity politics, and visual and aesthetic modes of resistance and counter-conducts, particularly in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Israel Palestine and Iran.
Current research
Visuality, sound, violence and war
Currently Helle Malmvig is particularly interested in how warfare is performed audially and visually in popular culture and by the hyperreal practices of soldiers and militias themselves.
Aestheticization and humorization of international politics
This project in the making is interested in the implications of what Malmvig calls ‘humorization of politics’, and how that relates to postmodern conditions of truth and the spectacle of politics.
