About

My research and teaching interests include:

. Latin American literature and film
. Generations and collective memory
. Political and economic exile
. Class relations

I am currently working on an article entitled "Felix Bruzzone: topos y travestis contra la realización simbólica del genocidio en Argentina." I will present a shorter version of this article at ICA, Vienna, as part of the panel 1035: "Narrativas del terror y la desaparición en América Latina."

I am the author of "The Post-Dictatorship Generation in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Collective Memory and Cultural Production", (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, forthcoming in June 2012). In this monograph, I reflect on how the Southern Cone post-dictatorship generations reshape the collective memory of the dictatorial past through political activism and forms of artistic expression (cinema, literature, comics and photography).

My doctoral dissertation: "Inheritance: Living Memory, Leaving Countries. Uruguayan and Argentinean Fictionalization at the Turn of the Millennium", considers how the post-dictatorship generation deals with a legacy of unsuccessful revolution, oppression and exile in cinema and literature.
