Aténé Mendelyté

Aténé Mendelyté is a PhD student in film studies at SOL, Lund University. She is working with American avant-garde films in relation to (post-)Deleuzian film-philosophy, film-world creation and mental aesthetics. Previously, she has worked with Samuel Beckett's television plays as well as his theatrical notebooks, concentrating on either film-philosophical or intermedial aspects of his works. She also did some research on William Butler Yeats's Noh plays, attempting to unmask their Romanticist nature. Currently Aténé is interested in various forms of media and artistic expression, (primarily continental) philosophy and most of all the »profounds of mind«. She has studied at the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Vilnius University (Lithuania) and University College Cork (Ireland) and has a BA in English (2009), an MA in Intermediality (2011) and an RMA in Media Studies (2012). Aténé has published articles and a book chapter on several subjects such as film, television, theatre, philosophy and music. Her most recent publication is an article on television-philosophy in »Film-Philosophy« journal (2015, volume 19). She taught film and media theory and avant-garde film at master and bachelor level university courses.
