Professional experience / Research

My professional experience is mainly in the field of research and teaching. I am currently working on my doctoral thesis under the supervision of Àlex Matas (Universitat de Barcelona) and Octavi Rofes (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).

The research questions the ontological value of the One World in relation to contemporary literary comparative practices. It defends a form of attentive and fragmented reading that allows for the decontextualisation and extrapolation of meanings to alternative contexts beyond the limits of literature, such as art or design.
