Her research, entitled “Incest in world cinema: the cinematic portrayal of gender, social roles, and sexual orientation within incestuous relationships” focuses on the depiction of incestuous desire, on the violation or/and transgression of the incest taboo and on the representation and performance of gender, social roles and sexual orientation within incestuous relationships. It is based on the study of the world cinema fiction films which are distributed during the last twenty years among differentiated countries and were nominated in acclaimed festivals.
