| Profile |
Szidonia Haragos specializes in contemporary multicultural American Literature and the global Anglophone literary production. She focuses on autobiography and life writing as testimony and as the writing of collective and personal trauma and, lately, on digital life writing and its critical potential. She is particularly interested in the intersections between autobiographic writing, trauma, and gender in the memoirs of (im)migrant women writers in the United States and in their self-constructions amidst the material conditions of migration, diaspora, and precarity. She has also published on gendered cinematic representations in the films of Hungarian directors Istvan Szabo and Laszlo Nemes. She is currently preparing her monograph, Realignments of the Self: Transnational Life Writing by Women, for publication. |
