Research Interests
My research covers twentieth- and twenty-first century Latin American cultures with a focus on Argentina and Brazil. I work on urban studies, labor, and women studies.
My research and teaching interests also include visual studies (specially cinema), and media history.
Book Project
My book project, Who is the Worker? Literature about Workers during the Great Depression in
Argentina and Brazil studies workers’ representations in literature and cinema during the 1920-1940 period in Buenos Aires and São Paulo.
Working on the intersection of Avant-garde projects and political activism, I study how writers gave visibility to the injustices workers suffer both in and out of their workplaces and how they (sometimes) propose a call to action.
In the chapters, I investigate who embodied the worker character considering the human body, gender, and spaces and how these categories introduced an alternative version of modernity, the mainstream discourse of the time try to impose.
