Overview
Elisabetta holds a BA in Foreign Languages and Literatures from the University of Parma, program in which she had the chance to study abroad in Spain, at the University of Alcalá, Madrid, and in the United States, at Boston College. She also earned a master’s degree in Peninsular and Latin American literature from the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she also taught Spanish for two years. Her interests include animal studies, ecocriticism, and posthumanism, and her research aims to analyze the connections between humans and more-than-humans in Latin American literature from the 19th century to the present. Her most recent published article examines the Argentinian Gaucho and describes how the connection between man and horse can ultimately create a new posthuman being.
