Pier Paolo Frassinelli died in 2022 well before his time. He was on sabbatical leave and working on an African cinema project at the University of Stellenbosch. His home base was the University of Johannesburg, South Africa, and he retained his connections with colleagues in Italy. Frassinelli’s research interests included cultural and media studies, critical and decolonial theory, and African cinema. His latest book titled Borders, Media Crossings and the Politics of Translation: The Gaze from Southern Africa was published by Routledge in 2019.
