ACADEMIC PORTFOLIO
About
me
I am a Monash-Warwick Alliance Joint PhD Scholarship recipient researching French Philosophy and the Literature-History relationship.
My research focuses on Christopher Isherwood and shows that his books operate as Latin Elegiac Poems. I analyze them according to Michel Foucault and Paul Veyne's perspectives to defend that Isherwood transformed his own historical experiences by creating his characters.
24 years old, from Brazil.
