Pablo Gonçalo is an assistant professor at the University of Brasília,
UnB. Currently, he is a Fulbright visiting scholar at the University

been his main research topic, by which he has been proposing the
concept of speculative archeology. Therefore, he has been researching
unfilmed scripts in German and Brazilian film history, and, more
recently, in the classic Hollywood era. In 2016 he published O cinema
como refúgio da escrita: roteiros e paisagens em Peter Handke e Wim
Wenders, edited by Annablume, which is his first book. His Ph.D. was
held at the University of Rio de Janeiro, with a partnership with the
Free University of Berlin, when DAAD sponsored him. He has had papers
published in journals such as Journal of Screenwriting, La Furia
Umana, among other edited collections. He writes film reviews,
scripts, and is also a curator.
