Profile
I am a literary and cultural studies researcher specializing in spatial theory, postcolonial narratology, and computational text analysis. My work examines narratives as entangled, material-semiotic networks that resist hierarchical ontologies, with a particular focus on how homecoming, displacement, and memory are figured across transatlantic literary traditions. I am developing a methodology I call "entangled poetics" to trace how texts emerge through relations of power, affect, and historical interconnection.

Research Projects
-
Entangled Poetics: Postcolonial Topologies of Nostos/Homecoming (2025–present)
Interphilological investigation of how postcolonial Anglophone and Spanish literatures refigure the ancient Greek concept of nostos (homecoming) through displacement, diaspora, and decolonial imagination. Develops "entangled poetics" as a methodology combining spatial theory, feminist material-semiotics, and postcolonial relationality. -
DanZine: Critical Readings Through Hybrid Figurations (2025–present)
A visual-critical intervention sprung from the advanced seminar on Aquatic Environments in Postcolonial Literature (University of Tübingen). Mixed-media fanzine developing tidal poetics through collage, counter-cartography, and bookmaking experimentation. Number 1 includes readings of Ghosh, Walcott, De Robertis, Mediterranean migration, and the Spilhaus projection as entangled oceanic figurations of displacement, memory, and relation. -
Figurations of America (2024–present)
Close reading of Spanish and English poetry addressing America as lived experience, focusing on how spatial and cultural imaginaries are contested and reconfigured across linguistic and national boundaries. -
Homerica (Dataset) (2025–present)
Comprehensive database documenting the entanglement between Homeric epic and Anglophone cultural production—tracking retellings, translations, adaptations, and transfigurations from 1800 to the present. Reveals contemporary shift toward feminist and decolonial engagements with classical narrative. -
Homer's Living Network (2024–2025)
Digital humanities investigation using computational text analysis to measure how stylistic features at the lexeme level register cultural drift across twentieth-century English translations of Homer's Odyssey. Combines distant reading methods with close analysis of translation choices. -
Perilexia (2023)
Developed a computational algorithm identifying previously unrecognized lexical patterns structuring character transformation in Victorian novels. Coined the term "perilexia" to describe these recurrent narrative structures.
