About me
PhD student since September 2017. My research interests are 20th Century literature, mainly Hispanic exile and/or censored narratives, and the relations between literature, society and politics.
Teaching
I teach seminars and lectures for the module "The conditions of literature" on the basic course in literature at the departement for Culture and Aesthetics, Stockholm university
Research
My PhD project deals with Hispanic literature (20th Century) that in different ways is conditioned by exile and migration. I study how literary works are produced in and through persecution, exile and censorship and how these phenomena take form in the texts. More concretely, I study how exiled subjects are made readable in texts by Luisa Valenzuela (Argentina), Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay) and Gloria Gervitz (Mexico) through the relation between stasis/captivity and mobility/border-crossing - both thematically and formally.
This literature also poses questions about memory, multilingualism and racism and dramatizes in different ways the extensive and often violent periods of migration and political instability that has shaped the (entangled) histories of the Americas and Europe.
