Ph.D., Hispanic Studies

My research focuses on Latin American 20th and 21st century Literature, social reproduction theory, dependency theories and world-literature.

 

My doctoral dissertation, “Fictions of Domestic Service and Social Reproduction in Contemporary Latin American Literature”, examines how the long-lasting phenomena of domestic service made an important but overlooked imprint on the 20th Century Latin American novel.For this purpose, I offer a re-reading of contemporary Latin American literary history showing how key works of Indigenismo, the Boom, or the avant-garde are most productively understood when considering the specificity of domestic service within the continent. I do this by studying canonical novels of authors Rosario Castellanos (Mexico); José Donoso (Chile); Clarice Lispector (Brasil); and Alfredo Bryce Echenique (Perú).
