Angelina Ilieva

My general interests include performativity, representation, and identity; the ethics of art, the political dimension of esthetic experience. Most specifically, I am interested in the role of trauma and sublimity in the emotional power of national or other identities.

Work with Students

I have advised thesis and research projects on Southeastern Europe- from national identity history narratives and self-representations in political writings to representations of gender performance in literature, creative performance project based on folklore, to comparative analysis of narrative plotting of death in magic realist writings.
