I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher at the New English Literatures and Cultures Department of the Institute of English and American Studies. After finishing my studies at Freie Universität Berlin (BA and MA) with a thesis on the Postcolonial Gothic in Australia, I earned my PhD as part of the joint programme between Monash University (Melbourne, Australia) and Goethe University with a thesis titled “Unsettling the Anthropocene: Cosmological Readings of Contemporary Australian Literature.” My postdoctoral project explores intergenerational justice in transcultural Anglophone texts, but I remain interested in various forms of the Gothic.

Johnathan Ilott

Affiliation: Lancaster University

Research Areas:
Period: 21st Century Gothic

I am PhD student researching how the afterlife has been represented on screen. The afterlife is a thematic thread that offers a historical and transnational exploration of film from the silent era to contemporary cinema. Informed by film, cultural and death studies, my research explores the impact of death and attitudes towards mortality on film and examines cinematic constructions of the unknowable. Alongside my research, I work as a Film Programmer and am an Associate Lecturer.
