Vanhoutte is an expert in theatre and performance studies with a strong background in literature. He coordinates a Master’s program in Theatre and Film Studies. His research centers on the performance of science and knowledge in the nineteenth century, adopting a media-archaeological approach to rediscover forgotten or extinct technologies and the dreams that continue to shape public perception and cultural narratives today. Vanhoutte leads a large-scale interdisciplinary Excellence of Science (EOS-FWO/FNRS) project, exploring the role of the magic lantern as a mass medium.
