Interests: the exploration of gender in contemporary Spanish and Catalán film and literature, above all the representation of masculinities in the two. My masters thesis traced the advent of a queer Spanish novel and its cultural and literary implications for "gay" identity in Spain.
I am also a student in the Women´s Studies Certificate Program.

In my dissertation on late nineteenth-century Galician literature, I am exploring the ways in which fear operates in both the articulation and threatening of a national identity. I will be reading works in both Castillian and Galician, with particular concern for gendered narratives (family, home, incest, misogyny).
Other field of interest: Puerto Rican literature, Gender Theory.
I am also a student in the Women's Studies Certificate Program.

Mi área de investigación es el Siglo de Oro español y, en particular, la literatura de la risa y sus géneros (sátira, parodia, menipea, comedias burlescas, picaresca...). Me inquieta la remodelación de la historia literaria que conlleva la inclusión de esta literatura y que comparece ya, de manera embrionaria, en la obra de M.M. Bajtín. Intereses generales: teoría de los géneros, folklorismo, teoría de la historia y estética.

"In my dissertation I discuss the formation of the ideological and cultural meanings of the figure of the “indio” in the Peruvian Indigenista Movement and the problems of representation involved in the contradictory social position of the intellectuals that actively participated in the formation and development of this movement, such as José Carlos Mariátegui and members of Orkopata Group. I also analyze literary texts that deal with the literary representation of the “indio” in the context of the process of Modernization. I am interested in reading these novels through concepts such as “mimicry” and “hibridity” in order to better understand the dynamics of ethnic identity discourses and literary works."

"Mi proyecto de investigación intenta abarcar diferentes problemas relacionados con la propia configuración de los estudios literarios hispánicos como disciplina: la composición de los académicos e intelectuales como clase, grupo o casta social, y las determinaciones ideológicas que de ella se derivan; los diversos debates que la disciplina ha conocido a lo largo de su historia; la valoración crítica de las aportaciones de los estudios culturales y otros paradigmas críticos. Otros intereses: Bajtin, marxismo, estética.

Drawing from a feminist theory stand point and a gender base analysis, my primary interests are focused on the literature written by women in Spain during the post civil war years of the Franco regime and the transition from the dictatorship to democracy. I am also paying attention to the representation of women in the literature written by male authors in both periods.
