Rick Altman is hoogleraar Cinema en Vergelijkende Literatuurwetenschap aan de Universiteit van Iowa. Zijn academische werk duikt in de historische en theoretische dimensies van film en literatuur, en onderzoekt hoe deze media zijn geëvolueerd en onze perceptie van de wereld vormen. Altmans benadering is analytisch en biedt diepgaand inzicht in de complexe relatie tussen media en cultuur. Zijn academische bijdragen vergroten aanzienlijk ons begrip van de film- en literatuurgeschiedenis.
