About

My research revolves around the relationship between poetry and politics, with a particular interest in the Poetics of Resistance and on the theoretical underpinnings of committed writing. My projects are mostly comparative and include case studies from Europe and the Americas. My approach integrates a strong theoretical component with close readings of case studies.

Current lines of research:
Performance Poetry
Cultural Interventions in Urban Space / Cities
Alterglobalisation Literature
Committed writing in 20th and 21st Century Mexico: Representation of Mexican guerrilla movements in literature, the 'dirty war' in Mexico (1970s)
