Research and Professional Activity
- I am co-editor of H-Empire, an interdisciplinary H-Net network.One of my projects investigates the construction of discourses of dissent in Anglophone literature.
- I am also exploring issues of foreignness, internationalism, and transnationality in world fiction and film in another project.
- “Comics in translation.” This project aims at pushing the boundaries of the notion of translation to engage not only with the traditional notion of “language-to-language” translation, but also “medium-to-medium” forms of translation such as text and image, on an online platform that facilitates the transference between languages, media, other platforms, etc. Project in its developing stages.
Teaching Projects
- In my literature courses, I incorporate electronic texts such as poems annotated in online platforms, which is aimed at transforming students’ experience of reading literature.
- I incorporate discussions on what digital readership communities are and how they operate in my courses.
- I offer students avenues to reflect on the cultural, historical, and geographical implications of digital communication and information access in the current global era.
