Killing Softly : European Whiteness, Black Labor, and African Wildlife in Ulrich Seidl’s Safari. Studi Culturali, 2020.

Featuring white European tourists travelling to Sub-Saharan Africa for big game-hunting vacations, the documentary dissects contemporary trophy tourism’s relations to colonial archives of race and animality.
