Stéphane Privat holds a PhD in film studies. His work lies at the intersection of film aesthetics and semiotics. Building on his doctoral thesis — which analysed the points of convergence between Fernand Deligny’s (1913–1996) ‘praxis’ and film theory — his current research focuses on the desubjectification of the process of enunciation in cinema and video games. He teaches part-time at the Universities of Paris Nanterre and Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis. He is also working on a book based on his thesis. In addition, Stéphane Privat is a video artist. His audiovisual performances and video works have been presented at various national and international festivals. He also runs workshops on audiovisual creation and video game development.
