Malcolm Miles is Professor of Cultural Theory in the Faculty of Arts at
the University of Plymouth, United Kingdom. He co-chairs the
Culture-Theory-Space research group (located in the School of
Architecture); supervises doctoral research between critical theory and
contemporary culture and urbanism; contributes to doctoral workshops
on research methods in the arts; and carries out research for
publication. His main research interest is in the development of critical
theories of culture and society since the mid twentieth century, in
relation to contemporary art and urban change. Within this are
questions around the extent to which the utopian content of modernism
can be salvaged; the need to develop critical theory in a period of
global cultures; and the cross-currents of a post-socialist Eastern
Europe. He retains a long-term interest in questions of pictorial space
and the insights on art offered by psychoanalytic as well as political
approaches.
