Enrica Maria Ferrara
Enrica Maria Ferrara is a tenured teaching fellow in Italian at Trinity College Dublin. Investigating texts belonging to several cultures and chronological periods, from Boccaccio to Fernando De Rojas, from Shakespeare to Brecht, Ferrara’s research is widely interdisciplinary and transcultural, interested in the viewpoint of liminality and hybridity. Her main publications are on Italo Calvino, Pier Paolo Pasolini, the intersection of narrative and performance in twentieth-century literature, the works of Elena Ferrante, and posthumanism in Italian literature and film. Among Ferrara’s book-length publications: Calvino e il teatro (Peter Lang, 2011); Il realismo teatrale nella narrativa del Novecento: Vittorini, Calvino, Pasolini (Firenze University Press, 2014); Staged Narratives/Narrative Stages, co-edited with Cormac Ó Cuilleanáin (Franco Cesati, 2017); and Posthumanism in Italian Literature and Film: Boundaries and Identity (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020).
