My research interests include contemporary Spanish film and screen cultures, theatre and literature from the critical perspectives of Gender and Queer Studies.
My recently published monograph Queering Lorca’s Duende: Desire, Death, Intermediality (Legenda, 2022) proposes a queer reading of Federico García Lorca’s later poetry, theatre, drawings and film script. My current research project examines the representation of adolescents and young adults in twenty-first-century Hispanic film, focusing on queer identities and on emerging Spanish and Argentinian filmmakers. Its aim is to map millennial Hispanic film and digital television within global screen cultures, assessing its unique critical position vis-à-vis the intersection of gender, sexual and national identities.
My wider research interests are contemporary Hispanic cinema and screen culture with a focus on queer filmmaking and LGBTQ+ representation. My current research project examines screen works by queer filmmakers and audio-visual creators, focusing on queer memory and intergenerational screen cultures. I also work on Hispanic queer and LGBTQ+ literature, intermediality and word-image relations in Hispanic and world literatures and visual cultures.
I teach courses on Hispanic cinema, theatre, literature and culture, and translation. My teaching practice provides a link between Spanish literary and audio-visual cultures, queer theory and translation in the Hispanic Studies and World and Comparative Literature and Culture areas, also offering great opportunities for intercultural and transnational awareness, critical thinking, interdisciplinarity and interaction within the academic community and beyond.
