Overview
Rosamaría is a PhD candidate in Romance Studies, focusing on Latin American literature and engaging in dialogue with medical humanities and literary theory. Her current project Anatomical Forms: Illness and Disability in Latin American Contemporary Literature, examines diaries, poetry and novels from Mexico, Chile and Argentina in which bodies undergo formal and structural transformations, triggered and conditioned by experiences of pain, illness or disability. Her research investigates how these formal corporal changes are mirrored in the transformation of textual genre and form (autobiographical, poetic, diaristic, and novelistic), prompting a reconsideration of notions of identity, subjectivity and interiority.
Rosamaria received her BA in Literature and Philosophy from Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia.
