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

Currently, she is completing a book manuscript entitled Transformations: German Film in the Wake of New Media. It 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 has published various articles on film and new media. “Run Lara Run,” in Screenplay: Cinema/Videogames/Interfaces (Wallflower Press, 2002), investigates the intersections of popular German film and videogames. Another article, entitled “German National Cinema in the Age of Television: A (Hi)Story of Collaboration and Antagonism” and written in collaboration with Will Lehman, appeared in the edited volume European Cinemas in the Age of Television (Edinburgh University Press, 2007). “New Media and Feminist Interventions: VALIE EXPORT’s Medial Anagrams,” is a chapter in the book European Avant Garde Critical Studies, and edited by Alexander Graf (Rudopi in 2007). The essay “Fragging Fascism,” another foray into the field of videogames, appeared recently as a chapter in the book After the Digital Divide?, edited by Lutz Koepnick and Erin McGlothlin (Camden House 2009). She has also published an article on the filmmaker Wim Wenders. Dr. Grieb has presented papers at various conferences on videogames, Wim Wenders’ feature films, popular German film, Brecht’s Epic Theater, feminist avant garde filmmakers, 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 also affiliated faculty in the Department of Women’s Studies and the Department of Humanities and Cultural Studies.
