Dr. Slaveya Minkova is a media scholar with research focusing on an emergent mode of media production associated with globalized film and television industries in South East Europe. She considers the fragmented and globally dispersed production practices of streaming media giants such as Netflix and Amazon, taking a spatial and infrastructural approach to the role of film studios in the regional dynamics of media production. Her work considers the relationship between studio and city, the complex geographies and politics of international/transnational sets, and the material conditions of digital media labor.
