Rory O'Bryen听teaches and researches on听modern听Latin American culture, and has particular research听interests in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Colombian culture and history. He is the author of听Literature, Testimony and Cinema in Contemporary Colombian Culture: Spectres of "La Violencia"听(Woodridge: Boydell and Brewer, 2008), which explores the role of violence in the production of urban space and the urbanizing dimensions of memory discourses on violence in Colombia. He has co-edited听and contributed听to听Latin American Popular Culture: Politics, Media, Affect听(New York: Boydell and Brewer, 2013), Latin American Cultural Studies: A Reader听(Routledge, 2017), and听Transnational Spanish听Studies听(Liverpool, 2020), and was contributing editor of the听dossier听'Colombia - Violence in War and Peace' (Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies.听Vol. 27, No. 4). He听has also published stand-alone articles听on Borges, Fernando Vallejo, the 鈥楳cOndo鈥� group, Roberto Bola帽o,听Santiago Gamboa, the poetry of Candelario Obeso,site-specific art, and Latin American ecology.听
His current research explores the representation of the Magdalena River in Colombian culture between 1850 and the present day. It engages with a range of works, including mid-nineteenth-century regional romances, late nineteenth-century Afro-Colombian poetry, representations of leprosy in early twentieth-century literature, music and silent film, the 鈥榥ovela de la听Violencia鈥� of the 1950s, and late twentieth-century engagements with听苍补谤肠辞迟谤谩蹿颈肠辞. In doing so it uses the river as a conduit into the fragile interplay between nation-formation and global political and economic processes.听
He is one of the editors of the听Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies.听
