Roger Cook

Roger Cook is Professor of German Studies and Director of the Film Studies Program at the University of Missouri. He has written extensively on New German Cinema and contemporary German film. He co-edited The Cinema of Wim Wenders: Image, Narrative, and the Postmodern Condition (Wayne State University Press, 1996) and is co-editor of Berlin School Glossary: An ABC of the New Wave in German Cinema (Intellect Books, 2013). He has also written on eighteenth and nineteenth-century German literature, with a particular emphasis on Heinrich Heine. He is the author of By the Rivers of Babylon: Heinrich Heine’s Late Songs and Reflections (Wayne State University Press, 1998) and the editor of A Companion to the Works of Heinrich Heine (Camden House, 2003). His current work engages research in media theory and neuroscience to investigate issues of embodiment in film viewing, and he is currently finishing a book entitled Post-Cinematic Vision: Film and the Evolution of Spectatorship.
