RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Assistant Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures Fernando
Degiovanni specializes in issues of nationalism, cultural politics and canon formation in
Argentina. By focusing on the first popular series of national "classic"
authors in early 20th century, his research explores the way in which opposing
intellectual projects attempted to build and impose contrasting versions of the
Argentine cultural tradition in times of massive immigration and democratic
institutionalization. His work has been published in major scholarly journals,
including Revista Iberoamericana, Hispam?rica, and Revista de cr?tica literaria
latinoamericana.
